If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

I’ve said it another thread but moderators need to be patient with all of the new people. I made a post trying to get some questions answered and was shit on by a mod for not knowing the rules. I couldn’t even find the sidebar at that point. If that is the attitude new users are met with when making mistakes then new contributions will be limited.
I really feel like “rules” for different magazines should be lax at first and just take out the obvious scum or completely irrelevant posts. Ease everyone in. There isn’t even an actual community in most magazines yet because there’s so few people. Let the people come first, then figure out the ins and outs of them.
Absolutely.
The reason many of the rules exist on reddit is to simplify the management of a glut of users in a single community. When it’s small like this, you can afford to be informal until it starts becoming a problem.
I would love to have the problem of a bunch of newbies coming here and flooding communities with questions about rules and stuff. After that happens for a while and starts to get annoying, then you start enforcing the rules a bit more.
Yeah. Good point. There will be some growing pains and mistakes in posting with all the newbies, like me. I think it will be a slower growth than some Redditors will want, but I was there for over 10 years so I don’t mind a little wait. I think it won’t be that long and I’m already enjoying discovering different communities.
I don’t think quality filters are needed yet as any post is a bit of a miracle
There are lots of other pages. Try one of those. Lots of grumpy Reddit mods before too
It’s no different than a store in the mall. If the staff is grumpy go else where.
I’m pretty sure the Fediverse has duplicate topics on each instance.
I’m still learning the terms
