This seems to be new frontier for a lot of users. Lemmy is like Reddit in a lot of ways but so much different in so many more ways. As new users, we're pretty much guinea pigs (or lemmings, I guess) and I imagine there's going to be a lot of this in the weeks to come.
Would have been nice to get a little more experience under my feet before having to deal with this
This is experience! If Lemmy works out, we'll be able to say we helped pave the way!
I can completely understand why they did but it really sucks that it had to happen. Hopefully, as the Fediverse grows, better tools are made available so instances don't need to defederate from each other.
With that said, I think it's a pretty amazing concept that they can. Terrible, sure, but nonetheless amazing.
I also wasn't aware that other instances vetted their users? This was the first one I picked. Is there a plan to address the issues beehaw brought up?
Thanks! The people at r/sffpc were super helpful, I'm hoping that carries over here. I've never moderated a community before, so I'm happy to see it grow. I'll probably start a thread for resources eventually, so keep an eye out if you want advice for parts and cases!
I'm trying to get a SFFPC community going, if you want to check it out! https://sh.itjust.works/c/sffpc Just heads up that there's not much happening right now, but I'm hoping that changes soon!
I spent a couple of days waiting for a SFFPC community show up but the great thing about being community driven, we can make the community we like! https://sh.itjust.works/c/sffpc
I made a community for SFFPC, if you want to check it out: https://sh.itjust.works/c/sffpc There's not much happening there right now, but I'm hoping that changes soon!
