Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Finally, Reddit can die
I was one of the many MANY victims of unjust banning, and I just want my niche communities here, all the weird expansion and transformation porn I like, DBD Shitposting, and The Sims 4 troublshooting.. ahh...
Cardinal rule of being a reddit refugee on lemmy: if you want a specific community from reddit that doesnt exist here already, start it.
A bit easier said than done: some don’t have the time and mental space to dedicate to moderate a community.
As soon as some activity starts, people who want to mod will show up.
Do my method: Start it, invite others to mod. Let the passionate ones take over the ones you do not want to keep. It is very, very passive work.
Definitely. Lemmy is pretty collaborative in that regard. Most communities have lots of mods to help balance the workload. That being said, Lemmy is very much a "grassroots platform". Everything we have here we build together. Not any one person is required to become involved in creating spaces here, but if there's a space that doesn't exist yet and you'd like it to then you'd have to start that ball rolling somewhere.
I want my Fandoms and porn here. The niche stuff is the only reason why reddit has any appeal anymore.
Is there even porn on Lemmy? Asking for a friend
Search Lemmy NSFW online, it's there, just disconnected? I still don't understand the different "nodes".
I settled over here when the API Desaster happend. I lost some communities, but I found new ones. Rarley, I have to engage with reddit for troubleshooting, but I treat it like any forum that I am not registered in, get my info and leave again.
You'll settle in and you'll find the places you like here. And then you can always try to start a community of your own and see if it sticks. Many don't, but some do.
I was too, but it was Feb 12-13 I got banned, unjust one of my acc received a 3 day temp ban, but simultaneously it triggered reddit to ban 5 of my other accts site wide, but the ban message never indicated what was the actual violation but the generic" You violated several accounts policies" which made think it was entirely automated
