I'm new to Lemmy, probably like most of you. I figured if you were part of the major Reddit exodus, you'd be looking for some of your favourite subs. Feel free to post pics of bikes, ride reports, gear you like or complaints about the cagers. We're not fussy here yet.
The problem I am seeing is there needs to be ONE motorcycles community, I see 3 right now. Too bad Lemmy can't/doesn't restrict duplicates. This will fragment the communities (unless I'm confused). New here as of last night and figuring this out but we should all try to be very careful about duplicating communities at least if I understand what I think I understand.
Was going through my subs on Reddit to try to start subbing to the same ones here.
I'm not knocking you, this is all new... But what makes sense?
Hmm, I didn't see a single one when I searched on Friday, so I created this one. I'm sure one of them will shake out to be the "popular one". What's the bike in your pic btw?
I'm definitely not pointing fingers at you for making a duplicate (just FYI). Just an observation, and honestly should probably be handled at the Lemmy level, if that's even possible. I haven't been here 24h yet I just stumbled on there being multiple "motorcycle" communities when trying to subscribe to stuff.
As for pic, not sure which picture you mean. If you're referring to the screen shot, none of that is mine. It's just.one of the communities.
Looking back at this post from five days ago...when we had 17 subs and now are at 229 as of this comment. That's like, a 1200% increase? Plenty of new posts as well.
I'm in awe of how much growth this community has seen. I was on a work trip for a few days and expected to come back to 30 people, I was pretty hyped... But we're on track for 300 by the weekend!
