For any newcomers to fediverse. It takes some time to get oriented and started. During that, initially all joins the same community that is available on the local instance before they get hang of Lemmy.

This nature of fediverse is good, but it also creates multiple communities, thus it disperses out the users.

So the goal is to make this as an official, so that all the dispersed users from other instances have a common community instead of sparsely populated small ones, which in turn limits interactions.

Hope I was able to give you my reasoning behind making this one Official.

And on another note, welcome :)

Hope this gives all of us a common platform to interact with each other more.

Hello and welcome. I took over and setup this community, specifically because I have spent close to a decade participating, to guide/help fellow redditors on that sub. I moved to Lemmy and wanted to give other refugees like me a place they can feel home.

Yeap, I understand what you are referring to. I used to participate there frequently, but when it started happening I kinda moved away from being a participant to just a lurker.

As it goes, you learn from your experience, one thing we are trying our best is, as long as it doesn't break this lemmy instance's rules, we don't interfere.

There should be freedom of speech, as long as its in respectable manner and no personal attacks.

Welcome folks to the Republic of India.
