Hi there guys, thank you for making Lemmy. A great software, with a potential to have a nice-looking non-web based desktop client! I have created a community on there and I have some questions.

  1. Reddit had a concept of flairs, which were essentially tags you could have put on a post which then allowed for easy search and filter. Does Lemmy have such a feature?
  2. Does it matter on which Lemmy instance I make my communities, except of courset he cases where a given community wouldn’t be allowed on a given instance?
  3. If, for example Kbin offers me better moderation tools for my communities will I bea ble to migrate them?
  4. If yes, will Lemmy users be able to access and use them normally?
  5. Is advertising of your communities allowed on there? If no, are there any community directories where I oculd post my group?

    1. No. It’s been a requested feature for years but as of now it’s not a thing. Hopefully the devs will add it soon enough, with the huge influx of Reddit refugees coming. My team and I are working on an implementation for our modded instance, but I’d prefer this to be handled by someone who knows what they’re doing.
    2. You can only create communities in instances where you have an account. To create communities in multiple instances you’d need multiple accounts.
    3. You’d have to recreate a community over there and start from scratch. No way to port it. I don’t know much about this, though. I have yet to explore kbin (I’ve been on this site for only a week now)
    4. I believe so but again, not sure. Supposedly, from Lemmy you can federate with Kbin.
    5. On there? Idk. But I know !newcommunities@lemmy.world is a thing.
