About us
An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.
Rules
1. Be honest with yourself and others.
The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?
2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.
Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.
3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.
In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.
4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report

MODERATORS
Hey all,
This is the place where you can share your ideas, improvements, whishes or general feedback regarding this community.
Update 1
the people here have agreed to dedicate this community to the general discussion of minimalism.
I'm trying to make everything as transparent and democratic as possible so you can really harness the freedom of the decentralized internet with its main strength: the community.

Oh hey, its you! Nice to have you here too. I see potential for the minimalism community on both reddit and lemmy. As I've seen from the information thread on the subreddit, most are unaffected by the API changes and don't really care much. However, reddit's actions, and especially the CEO's, show that they care very little about the community and are mainly in it for the money. This is highly dangerous for a forum that lives solely from the contributions of the community. Lemmy offers a resistant and open alternative to this.
I would therefore suggest that the community here on lemmy will be for those who have already migrated or are still looking for an alternative and as a fallback solution if something even worse should happen on reddit.
My personal ambition here on lemmy is to take full advantage of this freedom and create an extremely user-centred environment. For the moderation and to get this community running a bit, I still need a little support. So if you feel like it, I can make you a mod here, without any obligations, except of course to serve the community ;) If you want to support my effort, you can make a note on the subreddit about this second community (https://lemmy.world/c/minimalism) for those who are interested..
In any case, I am very much looking forward to a great collaboration with the community and with you!
