That's the way, it's important to not go back there, communities will appear because people like you and me will create an alternative to that communities.
I’m learning Russian and god I wish I had that problem. On Reddit, there were people to ask questions about that stuff but I haven’t found any similar Russian learning magazines yet. I would start one but I don’t have the time to moderate and I’m afraid that I don’t know enough to be moderating such a community
you might be able to fix that by setting a language in your settings. I know there was some warning I didnt pay much attention to past "set your language or..." that came up when i was poking around in there.
If you see something you don't like, remove it. Create some general rules for your community. We're in a stage where people are more friendly and easy going so you likely won't be constantly bombarded with reports.
I’d start a community/magazine on my own based on subreddits that have no analogue here (e.g., cassette futurism, Comedy Bang Bang, Doughboys) but would that require me to be a mod or whatever? I’d be fine providing material as if I were seeding a garden, until more users come in and it becomes active on its own, but I don’t want to be watching it over constantly or anything like that.
Yea you'd be the mod. I'm in the same boat, I really don't want to moderate people. But I made one anyway. It will take time, but I'm trying to cultivate it to the best of my ability.
We're making it up as we go. It's pretty awesome.
I think the feddiverse is gonna turn out a bit different than reddit. For sure. And for the better.
I'm not sure if my community has a 1 to 1 with reddit, and that's the best part. We're all mods here.
I feel you. You can start your community and post content to get started and then handover moderation if/when others join. I considered doing the same but unfortunately I just don't have the content to get started with so I'm more down to wait and see. I've made a list of my favourite subs and set a weekly reminder on my phone to check on here if they exist.
Yeah, I may just do that, like post a sticky/pinned thread (if that's A Thing here, idk) saying that whoever is interested is welcome to take over modship. I just want to get something started. Maybe this weekend, why not.
I just looked at my subs...and ngl, there's alot. Some of them I would have never thought to sub to on reddit, but I find each one super interesting, and besides, nearly every post on here is thought provoking so I haven't sorted by subscribed since I joined on 11th.
