I created this community because it was my favorite on Reddit and I couldn’t find one on Lemmy.

If the mods from reddit want to to moderate this community, I am happy to welcome them. They do a great job!

    You’re not obligated to give up your mod spot for the old Reddit mods. Most of them were “power mods” who moderated dozens of subreddits anyway. There’s no need for that kind of power here, that’s the whole point of being federated. Sure, you can add them to the team is you want help. But YOU created this community, don’t just roll over and hand it off to someone who could have made a community here but didn’t.

      Last sentence is such a key point that needs to get hammered. Users here now get to start fresh instead of coming into an established ecosystem. You’re the one who saw the value in the fediverse, not them. It’s why a lot of people are interacting more and posting. Hell, I don’t even mind “reposts” because they’re not even reposts on this platform.

      I love it. I was a complete lurker on reddit so I’m stoked to pitch in and help recreate this subreddit that I always got a chuckle from. I do want to make space in Lemmy for the people that I assume did a lot of work behind the scenes to create a subreddit we all enjoyed.
