I love the concept and actual community content but I wish the community name would have been changed from the Reddit one. Not something I want to point my young kids at due to community name.

Yeah I can see that, but I named it that with the intention to allow people leaving reddit to find some familiar communities to feel welcome. I don't think it detracts anything from it being related to reddit in that regard.

And I also wanted to make sure that we keep it separated from other groups that are more wide topic, so it's just pictures here

I'd be more than happy to rename it something else if the general base would like to.

Yeah I totally get that. I'm sure there is also a small percentage of people that see the name and check out the community looking for aliens with three boobs or three dicks or dudes getting it on with living planets and find something very different.

I agree, I'd be happy to drop all the old reddit-isms honestly
