I dunno if this community will have much interest but we will see lol If you were the official mods of r/virginia just feel to message me
SWVA checking in.
Fifty subscribers as of this morning. That’s pretty encouraging.
SWVA here too :)
Just subbed to your washingtondc community as well. Definitely will miss that and r/nova from reddit. Hopefully both communities take off. Thanks for creating!
Was considering making c/nova but I figured c/Virginia will be kind of a long shot regardless. I hope it takes off too! I loved the community discussions and being able to discuss news around town. Also for transparency: I anticipate having two lemmy accounts by the way, my other is @[email protected] which is where I will be mainly posting when outside of here!
I’m a migrant too! Hoping this place takes off
Given the way other sites have gone I doubt that those that go back once the blackout ends for some subs will be able to tolerate staying for long.
Time will tell. I’m right here with you, trying to get a feel for Lemmy as a replacement for Reddit.
I mean, it’s hard to tell. Reddit has millions of users, and I think Lemmy just broke 100k people across all instances. I’m surprised there’s more than like 5 total people in those 100k people in VA.
EDIT: The community icon looks like it might be broken (at least in Jerboa). The top left side is basically nonexistent. Not sure what’s up with that.
I didn’t see that before - it looks like supposed to be half a seal on the cutout of the state silhouette, but it’s a png with the background color transparent so the seal just looks broken. Given that the icon is usually in a circle anyway, might as well just make the icon the seal like this:
Edit: it would be wrong to paste Huffman’s face onto the bottom dude, no?
Thanks for creating this. I am feeling my way around here.
