I'm happy to move over here. I'm sure if we can keep this community going, more and more will migrate.
SpaceX
A Lemmy successor to r/SpaceX and r/SpaceXLounge.
A successor to r/SpaceXMasterRace is over at !SpaceflightMemes
Nice to see some familiar and prolific names here. It would be great if even just some of the more prolific users double-posted their stuff here too. I'll try to make an effort to be more active here.
Awesome! I'll start adding some threads.
I don't have much to add, but I figured, what the heck, I'll sign up. Have a norminal day everyone!
Suggestion - do not add more moderators and rules. Those are the two things that killed both r/SpaceX and r/SpaceXlounge, and the lack of those two things are the reason r/SpaceXmasterrace is unironically the best sub for actual discussion.
I think low quality memes/shitposts can go to c/spaceflightmemes, lax discussion here. No need for rules stricter than that.
I think the split between into three subreddits was necessary after SpaceX became too popular. Of course it was more fun when the community was smaller and more focused. But at a certain point, the influx of new users that would contribute with the same set of basic questions/ideas/memes (“Why doesn’t SpaceX just …”) was too large. /r/SpaceX had to act as a restrictive filter into the community.
Well, we certainly won’t need any of that here for quite some time, I assume …
Yayy
