Hey! New Lemmy user here. Happy to migrate from Reddit.

I created [email protected] 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.

Aww, thank you! I already posted 2 resource/guides that are widely applicable.

Please reply to them with feedback or create your own posts!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!

I hope you join! The community is new, but I'm already working on stickied posts of resources. Expect another post in the community within 2 hours.

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
