Mod for a medium-sized city subreddit, here. I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to be able to keep modding for it, now that apps like Apollo and RIF are dead. It is functionally impossible to mod effectively with the official app (let alone the mobile site).
I'm not quite ready to just abandon the city community I spent so much time assisting - I mean, they're my friends and neighbors, not just my subreddit subscribers. But if they move to Lenny en masse, I'll join them, and say goodbye to Reddit permanently.
Why not get ahead of the curve and start moderating/start a community here already?
The positivity and enthusiasm on lemmy is so refreshing and each community is growing quickly. It’s like the days of Reddit when it was young.
There's already a Lemmy community for the city, and I'm watching it closely to see if it takes off. So far, the signs are good, but the Reddit community is still a lot more active.
Maybe that will change as uses realize we simply can't effectively moderate it anymore.
I would love to start a community for my city here but I honestly can’t figure out how the syntax works to start one. Every time I try to create one I get an error.
When did you try? The devs are stamping out bugs as fast as they can. Maybe you ran into one (or several). If you hit the "Create Community" link at the top, you can build one.
