With more people joining Lemmy and other decentralised networks there is a growing shift to the common misogyny and sexism we find on other social media networks (YouTube, Reddit, etc.).
I think it’s pretty obvious that the reason is that there are even less women here than other places online. What are your ideas on how to change that? Or do you feel it is a lost cause?
Let’s start with a list of women communities on Lemmy to identify mods to get in touch with. I haven’t ventured out far from this instance, so I unfortunately don’t know of any on other instances.
What do you mean with parallel setup? Posts being posted to one automatically appearing on another community?
This has been on my mind this evening and I actually just made a post on !fediverse@lemmy.world with some communities!
@ParsnipWitch@feddit.de I hope that was ok, and I can unlink this post if you prefer
I think ‘sister community’ or “Official Lemmy community for ____” might give a better idea of what I was thinking of. It’s something that I’ve been working on with other mods for c/UBC (my university) and c/Medicine (+ a few others that are still in the works), where communities have the same mods and rules. So the process would include some or all of the following:
I’ve played with the idea of automating posts, but people have concerns about deletion, moderation (ex. what happens if something is removed from one), spam.
Good idea. I went off reddit completely as the enshittification got too bad, but returning occasionally to point out there’s a sister community on reddit might be something worthwhile. I hadn’t realized you were talking subreddits, I thought you were just thinking about connecting between lemmy communities for women.
