If the mod team sees that you are posting about plans or actually planning a banner that says “Join Lemmy” or something similar, that is fine. If you are posting about an effort that is more along the lines of “Fuck Spez” or a giant penis with a Fediverse logo, we will remove the posts or comments. You can’t plan that here. Lemmy.world admins do not want us over there making the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, and today is no exception.

It’s fine to post funny pictures of what people on Reddit have already done, but we won’t be planning anything like that here.

    Potential former redditor here: You are correct in assuming Lemmy is a “Refugee Camp” of sorts- it’s become abundantly clear with the reprehensible actions of Reddit the company that users are no longer of importance to them. I don’t care about API access, I’ve never used a 3rd party client, but pricing the existing options out of existence with little warning is appalling. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, the actions taken against subreddit moderators is horrendous, and underlines their attitude toward the user base. Comply, or be cancelled. All of this to make reddit “profitable”. Get yo Ferengi lookin’ ass out of here, u/Spez! As for me, I believe I can help grow my personal interest here, mostly by cross posting at first. Perhaps once there is enough people here, I can let Reddit go and wither in cyberspace… sounds like a plan, right?
