…and what are we, not people? Fuckers lol
…and what are we, not people?
A negligible amount of.
It is true, but not the full picture - relying solely on Reddit won't be sustainable in the long run for that community.
Some of us are trying to work on it but in the mean time it would be great if people more familiar with Lemmy could help us out by taking initiative.
We’re all running on very little here it’s a trans surgery support sub that’s had one mod doing everything for years & almost none of us from the user base no anything about where to migrate which admins are open to helping etc
I posted a thread in lemmy.blahaj.zone the other day and the consensus was “ask the admin” but also it sounds like she’s on vacation. Some other instances seem to have had discussions with no conclusion
she’s on vacation.
I just asked on the instance chat when she's back. But thinking about it, we could probably already start, I would be really surprised if she didn't allow the community on her instance
Thanks, I’ll DM you some concerns I have I think the admin might want to consider first. But maybe!
I just have to say, HiddenStill is a legend in our community for having made that subreddit what it is today. Changed tens of thousands of peoples lives while receiving virtually no thanks for it.
It’s been a thankless job, full of hate from unsavoury parts of the Internet, and largely handled by one person who has been ridiculously active for the past 8 years.
I have no idea how they haven’t burnt out yet. And I can fully understand that it must feel overwhelming to then have people look to you and expect to do more while having no idea who to trust on this entirely new platform.
Other people have to step up here and earn some respect before pointing fingers. I’m working on it the best I can but I’m at full capacity myself and new to lemmy.
