I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.

Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.

I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.

I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.

    That was my first thought after being kind of bummed out that reddit pulled such a dick move. The thought of having smaller communities again is really nice. I was gravitating towards smaller subreddits anyways but a lot of times there just isn’t a smaller alternative or subreddits get a sudden influx of users leading to less discussions and more bad memes.

      Yeah I hate that too.

      I don’t really want to make some official rules list for posting here though. I’d rather keep it self moderated by everyone here for as long as we can. If something is clearly causing negative feedback and people want it addressed we can do that.

      Let’s just cross our fingers that this place stays chill for a while 🤞

        Crossing my fingers as well. Let’s see where this all goes first.
