In anticipation of Reddit’s eventual arrival at the end of it’s product life cycle, what do we want to see here in Lemmy.world?

Here’s an image summarizing how Lemmy works

Here’s Lemmy’s Starter Guide post

r/judo had a weekly white belt thread that I think we should carry over. Perhaps we should do other weekly topics? Maybe a technique of the week?

Also is there anything we can do for re-occurring sub topics like nogi, newaza/bjj, self defense, and getting started / first class expectations / club evaluations?

    Mostly we should just let reoccurring subtopics reoccur.

    At least when we’re getting started the more posts and the more engagement that naturally occurs, the better.

      This is what I’m currently thinking. I’m not trying to clone Reddit, this platform has different strengths and weaknesses. I would like to see it grow organically and see how the community develops.

      If we start seeing more regular patterns in posts (whether the same as from r/judo or not), then we can consider “standardising” some things.

        I agree we shouldn’t aim to clone r/Judo. What I’m really interested in what features lemmy has that would be an improvement over reddit.

        I would prefer to see more “sticky” threads for common subtopics as opposed to having a reoccurring post for each.

        But I’m done with reddit. It’s become to over-run with bots, trolls, and bad-faith mods/admins. I’ve already scrubbed everything I’ve posted on several accounts.

          There’s two truisms about moderating.

          1. Any form of moderation restricts what people can say and discourages people from posting.
          2. Floods of low quality posts and trolling discourage people from engaging and posting.

          So if you want to grow the community, you should only bring in moderation to fix problems. When there’s enough people posting that duplicate threads about subtopics are annoying, you can bring in sticky threads, and start removing stuff. But until then it just slows the conversation.
