    Yeah, bothered me during the protests to see people downplaying the importance of mods from those who were upset about their favorite sub being shut down. It’s a thankless job that takes lot of building to get started and exposure to bunch of crap to keep the place nice for its users.

      And harassing the mods for closing the subreddit without bothering to learn why it’s even closed. I don’t understand why people think that these unpaid volunteers owe them something.

      Moderating a large queer sub was easy on Reddit, and getting my own small sub up to an average of 50 upvotes per post wasn’t hard. But on Lemmy I don’t know where to advertise and my trans memes get downvotes from transphobes

            Have a look at !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone, the description is “!egg_irl is for widely relatable memes about questioning one’s gender or being an egg (a trans person in denial) as well as other eggy topics.”

              They’re named after a very popular subreddit that already exists, I want to know if you think I’ll have better luck growing something from nothing

                Depends what your queer community would be about. There are already a few of queer communities over there, so you should probably have a look at see if it’s better to contribute to an existing one or create a new one?
