New Comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes at !Lotrmemes@Piefed.social

New comm at !Lotrmemes@piefed.social - a community for posting silly memes about the Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit - whether books, movies, cartoons, series, games, or miscellanea!

And, predictably, this announcement was deleted on the dbzer0 comm by the admins.

  • New comm at !Lotrmemes@piefed.social

    Maybe describe what the community is about and why a user would want to use it, given that not everyone is going to be an existing user?

    I mean, there are 4 words in the post talking about the community, and 476 talking about whatever infighting led up to this.

    My guess is that the typical user here reading the post on !newcommunities@lemmy.world is going to be mostly interested in what the lotrmemes community is about and maybe why and how the new one might differ from the old one.

    • The reason for leaving the other comm is what differentiates the two - you're absolutely right that I failed to describe it though, I keep forgetting that acronyms are not always instantly recognizable lol. Fixed.

      • Thanks.

        Note that if you're "forking" a community, PieFed has a feature --- which I have not personally used --- that permits for replication of the existing community's history. The moderators of one community I was subscribed to on lemm.ee used it to create a new community on piefed.social before lemm.ee went down. I manually reposted history of another (smaller) community that was moving to lemmy.world instead of piefed.social and thus didn't have the replication feature available, and that was a big timesink. Much better to do it via automation, if you intend to do so and it's an option, IMHO.
