Hey there. If you are bored and have some spare time, how about creating a post that brings in a favourite piece of DD (due diligence) - be sure to credit the original author :)

Or how about messaging a MapleApe on the old site and letting them know about the ‘lemmy-verse’ lemmy.ca/c/gmecanada/, for a good start?

A cheap and quick way to move DD over here is to just post the original DD’s title, with a link to the Ape-Historian’s mirror of the original (https://www.apehistorian.com/) or a direct link to an archive.is or similar page capture in the post body.

EDIT: Love that lemmy lets one edit TITLES after posting. Already beats reddit for that alone! (OK, automod filters would be nice too.)

    I agree, migrating the apes is key. It’s tough to point them in the right direction with all the brigading rules. Are you aware of any other communities popping up outside of Reddit? I like the idea of decentralization but it definitely makes it harder to find all the communities.

      I know there’s a company discord https://discord.gg/gamestop but I’ve never really settled in with that platform very well. It feels too hectic for my old ass.

      I think there was a GMEJungle discord but I’m not seeing it anymore. Maybe taken down?

      We need a stronghold that won’t dump us the second shit gets real. Hopefully Lemmy can be that.

        I was in the jungle discord for awhile but I’ve never been a fan of that platform.

        I’ll keep an eye out for more options around the fediverse and share them here if something pops up

          Wasn’t aware, but that tracks. It’s a lot of thankless work.
