I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio "not official" or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they're willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It's like the whole place has imposter syndrome.

We're the adults, guys.

We're here. This is our community now. We broke up with that site, and we are making a new one. Run your community the way you think it should be run. Their communities are not any more official than ours. This is our place, not theirs.

We're the adults. We're the mods. We're the community.

I wonder if they’re creating “temporary” communities to do their part in supporting the fediverse, but perhaps they are unable to volunteer to the degree that is required to mod a community longterm. I’d be curious to hear from someone who’s offering up their community to reddit mods who moderate the reddit equivalent.

I think that's probably what's going on.

I thought of replicating some communities to start them, but I wouldn't be able to keep them going. So, knowing that, I decided not to do that after all.
