Who volunteers for the suicide mission of telling the Turks? in c/[email protected]

It might surprise you to learn where the word France comes from

EDIT: Also, interestingly, Paris is named after a Celtic tribe. Celtic isn't Germanic, but normally gets lumped together. Celtic tribes actually predate Germanic ones in what's now France.

I've actually done this tho in c/[email protected]

There's also a suicide mission available for whoever wants to inform the Finns.

Not Invented Here. Basically, reinventing the wheel just so they can have full control of a project.

To be fair, it's not like the bible is any better on women's rights. It's just that most modern Christians (thankfully) ignore large parts of their book. There are plenty of fundamentalist Christian groups that have just as bad, or in some cases a worse, culture of misogyny.

Advice on Creating a Community (self.main)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Barbarian to c/main

Imma preface this by saying that I'm not an admin or mod here, these are just my thoughts & advice on the matter.

You've noticed that a community doesn't exist on Lemmy. I'm going to assume you've checked the community browser, and seen that that specific community doesn't exist. So, you've gone to communities, typed in the name, and are about to hit create.

Well, hold up a second. There's an INSANE amount of community spam going on in lemmy.ml, and it looks like it's starting here to a much lesser degree.

Some questions you should ask:

  1. Are you creating this community just to create it? By that I mean, are you willing to put in the work as the moderator if it does take off?

  2. Is it a niche community of a larger subset that has a thriving community or a completely new category?

  3. Are you willing to regularly post stuff to start seeding comments & advertise it in the relevant places?

If the answer to any of these is no, get your cursor off that create button and go join the bigger communities. It just makes it harder to find communities that aren't 100% dead when half of them are dead-ends created just because 'they exist on Reddit'. Once there are enough people are visiting [email protected], they spill over into [email protected] if they want more focused TTRPG stuff. Once there are enough people on [email protected], they'll spill over to my Shadowrun group. Lots of communities are fractal in nature, and people are skipping a few steps. The userbase needs time to grow and mature.

Please think before you make a community.

I hope it's ok if I cross-post this. I understood that /c/[email protected] is also for TTRPG, and Shadowrun German lore is pretty wild
