Not Just Bikes
An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. Stay on topic
Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. No comment screenshots
Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. No people being hit by cars/road violence
Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
8. No tone policing
We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

You know, there are feeds which just show popular posts. Most of the communities in this feed people would be unfamiliar with if they browsed all/popular.
Hi! Here because this is somewhat popular.
Immediately turned off when the main point of the post is paywalled.
Would love to see this, but all it’s done is make me blacklist your sub-whatever.
Bye!
You should have replied to OP, but yeah, I agree
Sure, but most people don't come into a community they're unfamiliar with and start whinging about posts that are direct links to something created by the subject the community is dedicated to.
Saying a video is paywalled isn't whinging, but hey, you do you
Maybe, but "next time make it clear so I don't waste unnecessary time clicking links" certainly is.
Following the title of the community and its description, I (and apparently other people as well) got the distinct impression this subject to be "alternative urban mobility".
I now understand that it is a fan-community for some bike-influencer instead?
This came as somewhat of a surprise, as there are no obvious indications for it.
And, btw, the gatekeeping didn't help.
What gatekeeping? All I'm saying is people shouldn't come to a Not Just Bikes community and complain about links to a platform co-owned by Not Just Bikes. That's the equivalent of going to !politics and complaining about a link to political news.
Not Just Bikes is the name of a YouTube channel run by Jason Slaughter, focused on good urbanism. It takes its name from the thesis: "what makes cities in the Netherlands so much better than most of the rest of the developed world (but especially Canada and America)? It's not just bikes." In essence, it's about urbanism in all forms. Bikes, yes, but also public transport, density, land use, etc.
Thanks.
The second part is finally a very good example for a reply that is not gatekeeping but actually helpful.
Would perhaps be a good idea to have that exact paragraph be put at the top of the community description.
And regarding the first part:
If stumbling across a post linking to inaccessible content in any community:
Instant reaction will always be leaving a "Paywalled" or similar comment.
That's just basic netiquette to inform other users and give the OP a hint that he might want to do something about it.
