Is it okay to essentially copy a subreddit to lemmy?
I want to add a community that is essentially the Lemmy version of an existing subreddit (r/mcmansionhell). Is this allowed?
You're viewing a single thread.
Okay, thanks everyone!
You can also post it on- new communities ,or one of those other thats similar so more people will see it
So is there a way to view this on kbin or do I always have to view it on sh.itjust.works?
you should be able to view it wherever you use lemmy. they're all federated
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
This should work after searching the URL straight from kbin... but searching it right now gives me a 500 Server error. Seems like it's having technical issues.
I think It's because someone from Kbin needs to subscribe to it first. I just did that and the link works now. Though federation doesn't work retroactively, so the existing posts aren't showing up.
I've been getting 500s all day so it's most likely the server not being able to keep up with the Reddit migration
400s errors are server side. 500s errors are your side.
Other way around. 400s are client errors, 500s are server errors.

Hah, thanks. Am a potato.
Awesome. I see no issue with it… only thing I’d add is that it would probably be morally encouraged, when it comes to subs with creative/non-obvious concepts to 1) allow for the mods who created the original to mod here if they want and 2) stay true to the original idea of the sub. As a homage to the mods and users who fostered the original community.
I want to do that! Should I just message them directly?
What I've seen some magazines do is simply have the magazine's explanatory text say that "this is not the same team from r/whatever from reddit, if that's you and you want to mod here just reach out" or something. Though I imagine that makes more sense if the sub stayed privated on reddit, if they're still reddit mods and just gave into reddit pressure I'd just tell them to stay there...
I tried posting from Mastodon and it worked although the title didn’t come through quite right.
I saw I think <:3
If you can change the title through lemmy, to have the "CityName, StateName - Tag" format, that would be really helpful!
