Side note: I was thinking of creating a PubTips community here (one of the few subreddits I’ll actually miss!), but I guess if this community takes off at all, it can encompass both publishing- and writing-related discussion.
Please do! It is the subreddit I miss most. I can’t believe how supportive and helpful it was. Truly one of the small communities I’ll mourn the loss of. Has anyone contacted the mods of PubTips to see what their plans are? Sending them a message is the first worthy reason I’ve seen to break my personal Reddit blackout.
Please feel free to do so and report back! I kind of feel like the PubTips mods should have right of first refusal on moving to Lemmy before a “competing” community is started.
I DM’ed them and they said while they understand the protest, they have no plans to move the community anywhere. It’s simply beyond the bandwidth of their moderators.
Thanks for reporting back! Yeah, I suspected as much given that it’s been pretty much business-as-usual over there. Oh well. Now that you’ve given them right of first refusal, you get to create a competing community. 😄

Entirely understandable, but damn. :/

PubTips is the first thing I searched for on Lemmy. Its too valuable to not pursue.
What was it?
