Hey! New Lemmy user here. Happy to migrate from Reddit.
I created !Help_Others@lemmy.blahaj.zone so that others can seek and offer help.
I’m still hashing out the details, but this can range from anything to advice to wishlists to loaning/borrowing to fundraisers to literally anything else.
However, I will be putting in measures to prevent scammers from exploiting the community. From what I’ve seen so far, there doesn’t seem to be a auto-moderator, so I’ll probably need moderators to remove posts that aren’t compliant. I also don’t see a tagging/flair feature, so I’ll work on a post title format for future posts.
Since you’re a brand new account, you might not know how problematic their admin is.
If they see you pointing it out, or really mentioning anything negative about that instance, they’ll ban you.
For that reason a lot of communities have been leaving that instance, so starting a new one there is signing up for that.
You’re also almost guaranteed to get a bunch of trolls who will manipulate that admin into doing a lot of dumb shit in any community over there.
If youre ok with a lot of questionable overreach by admins, go for it. But you’ll have more autonomy as a mod literally anywhere else
