I often browse /all, come across a post that looks interesting but I have no clue what’s it about, so I check the sidebar - and all I find is “An unofficial Lemmy community for X”, " A place to discuss everything about X", or the best kind, “A continuation of r/X from Reddit”.
Can’t people write just some basics? What is that thing, a TV show, a music band, a sports team, a tabletop game? Sometimes I really can’t tell even after looking at a few posts.
Your community may be of interest to someone who stumbles upon it, not only to diehard fans.
I know sometimes that’s the joke, but most times it would be simple to just use a few words. “Discuss X, a Zimbabwean spy-thriller public theatre show.” There we go, now everyone knows what it is.
Some communities have pinned posts that explain their community in more detail, but I generally agree with you.
Cheers to that username.
not sure which I like more, the squares or @fucker
That avatar really isn’t cool for people with sensitivity to flashing images, please don’t do that.
That’s what we did at !japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz
Which is honestly not a spin-off of r/japaneselanguage because that subreddit was a complete mess. But so was r/learnjapanese. I don’t get the optics of a Reddit spin-off because that’s like tying your community to the expectations and behaviour of a previously community that could will be improved upon.
Your avatar gave me a seizure and I died.
Your profile is hilarious 😂

True 😂 I apologize.
