This community is the one that caused me to figure out how to subscribe to a community on Lemmy. Daddit was the only community I’ll truly miss when I deleted my Reddit account. Glad someone is trying to recreate it here.

I am in no way affiliated with Daddit. Was just a dad to two young kids and found it a wholesome community. A fatherhood brotherhood.

Welcome!

Granted I don’t think I did it right since I either only see my comment or only see everyone else’s.

The instance your on only starts syncing the posts once you subscribe. So you'll get everything from here on out!

Honestly same, it was the best sub. Lemmy took me a couple days to figure out but I'm getting the hang of it.

Daddit was the closest thing I had to an "irreplaceable" subreddit.

This looks promising.

Hi dad, I'm dad, u/engineer on Reddit. Last night my 4 year old daughter called me a "porcine wonder". She learned that from a book.

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 9 points 1 year ago

Howdy! I enjoyed the daddit sub too. Glad to be here.

Wewdads. I was worried for a minute there--I need my wholesome(ish) forum of dads.

Hi Dad, I'm Dad

I'm hoping this can be similar to daddit. My only worry is in the name-- dadsplain just makes me think of 'mansplain' and the obvious negative connotations with that.

Could be just me, though. Just worried it would end up leaning more towards lower quality content based on that. (I'm likely overthinking it)

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This could be a daddit meme community maybe... like maybe a takeoff on how Calvin's dad explained things?

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that would make sense. If we want to end up seperating out the memery and the more serious and support based content, we could just create /c/dads

[–] bhj@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I was wondering if where the daddit was on Lemmy. Glad I found it.

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sweet! I'm so glad there's a lifeboat.

We should make sure to promote it back on daddit.

for some reason I was never part of the original subreddit, but I'm here for this!
