I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio “not official” or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they’re willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It’s like the whole place has imposter syndrome.
We’re the adults, guys.
We’re here. This is our community now. We broke up with that site, and we are making a new one. Run your community the way you think it should be run. Their communities are not any more official than ours. This is our place, not theirs.
We’re the adults. We’re the mods. We’re the community.
I rather disagree. I think we should be kinder. There are mods on Reddit who have poured years into building their community on Reddit, who took their communities dark and have only now decided it is time to move.
I’m not saying that they have some kind of “right” to have a magazine or community, or should be entitled or be able demand the name.
But there has been a bit of a land grab in some cases - certainly on kbin - there are entirely empty magazines with zero activity named identically to popular subreddits.
I mod a magazine on kbin that is a direct replacement for a niche subreddit. I started it to hold some of the content I’m interested in. But the mods of that sub did a grand job - and they weren’t power mods or anything. I have an explicitly message in the sidebar that if they are interested in setting up shop at kbin.social they should message me.
There are going to be mods that are literally mourning the loss of what they had. There are enough arseholes in the world - let’s not make things a bit worse.
Not only this, but most people here creating magazines (including myself) probably have no desire to mod some of the communities they’ve created. I know I don’t. If the reddit mods want to take it over I’m gonna sigh a huge sigh of relief and give it to them without a second thought. (except for the single one where I actually was the mod, lol)
This is why I haven’t tried to create any new communities/magazines for subreddits that I previously enjoyed (doesn’t help that contacting the mods for those subs would require, y’know, posting on reddit)
You’re not wrong, but I think people are hoping that their favorite subs will designate a community on kbin/lemmy as their official successor and encourage everyone to migrate over. Some already have. It seems reasonable to want to accommodate the mod teams of those subreddits, rather than taking a stance of “I got here first, so I’m in charge”.

I think they did a fantastic job and know what they’re doing and I don’t.
Exactly why the community I set up here is guilty as charged. I don’t have the much needed experience on how to mod a community… I’m just here to scroll and contribute
Hey, that’s awesome!
Definitely. Plus, there can be more than one community for niches and that’s alright, for people who don’t want to use Reddit there’s a community for them and for people who don’t care then they can keep using the one over there. These new communities shouldn’t feel like they “owe” something to the equivalent community on Reddit, the new ones are just as legit as them.
Many of us prefer mods who are NOT the same mods as the reddit mods, depending on the subject. kbin is not reddit. People on reddit have lots of choices on where to go to. I personally didn’t leave reddit because I care about API policies. I left because reddit gives mods way too much power to abuse.
Musk poured $44 billion into Twitter. The global population is 8 billion people. He could have given $5 billion to each individual and still had money left over. Most people’s lives would be changed if they received a $5 billion check. But he squandered it all on Twitter.God I want to have sex with Stelle from Honkai: Star Rail so fucking badly, I jerk my meat to Stelle porn multiple times a day and I still can’t stop thinking about her constantly.

However, the PAW Patrol failed to assist in any way during the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979, which is unacceptable seeing as the US diplomats were hostages from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981. Could it be that the PAW Patrol is run by Islamic extremist that utilize PAW Patrol to increase positive images of the extremist, while also taking money from the UN? Or that the PAW Patrol is US run, and was told by the CIA to not intervene with the hostage crisis? If it is the former, why so? Could the Iran Hostage Crisis be a hoax, used to crack down on Iran for bringing down the monarchy that was ruling Iran, made possible by a coup from the US and UK?Paw patrol is police propaganda.Who’s the main “pup”? That’s right, you guessed it, Chase. Which “pup” experiences the most development? Chase. Who gets the most jobs? Chase again.Not on the contrary, who gets the least jobs? You guessed it, Rocky.Now, what’s so significant about Rocky getting low representation within the series? Well two things, Rocky represents recycling and conservation, two ideologies that don’t exactly like up with the opinions and supporters of the police. Well, so what, only some think like this, what else is amiss? Well, Rocky is a “mix-breed pup,” and what do cops perpetrate the most in their crimes? Racism.The fact that they put this minority, obviously liberal “pup” in the least powerful position, and the obviously purebred police dog in the highest renown only proves this.TL;DR don’t support paw patrol and it’s insidious agenda to promote police to our children.Im gonna be blunt right now.Asking someone what their pronouns are is completely dumb and isn’t going to make a any kind of difference in daily life… in fact it’s prob more insulting to a trans person then anything else. People are gendered in daily life based on presentation… nothing is ever going to change this. People are gonna calls em like they sees em🤷♀️E.g Someone looks like a man - he/him Someone looks like a woman - She/herIf you want to be gendered correctly… then change your presentation to match what you wantThat random person in the super market isn’t going to say “they/them” if you look like a specific gender… they’re gonna say he/she. Wearing a sticker on your shirt with your pronouns isn’t going to change that. It just doesn’t make sense… it a complete waste of energy, you can’t make people use a specific pronoun for you… it’s the reality of the world that you’ll be gendered based on presentation.

We have terrible bots already hahaha
And terrible mod tools. Go to the moderation log and you can read their comment. Deleted just means moved to another feed.
$44 billion / 8 billion = $5.5 (not $5 billion)
Some “official” subreddits for specific media have the actual backing and blessing of the artists and companies they’re about. Making a distinction in that case is reasonable. I’m considering making a magazine for a niche game I’m into, but the “official” subreddit is recognized by the dev and publisher, so I would be careful to separate myself as “unofficial” - while also approaching the dev to see if there’s interest in changing that.
Making a distinction for general-interest subs like “music” (no specific artist(s)) is less useful.
The other top comments here are correct, and I think there is a great opportunity here to “rescue” some subs from horrible mods.
Agreed! I think just because Reddit has been the go to for so long, it is hard to get into the new mindset
Come July 1, the bandaid will be ripped for good. Kinda slow go already for me, but today on reddit got bad for my former community
