Read the room, it’s not a “good move”, it’s a dick move against !android@lemmy.world mods who built this community when r/Android was radio silent about us and never helped, it’s disrespectful. It’s only now after they saw Redditors migrating to Lemmy that they thought they should join too, but only by launching a tiny duplicate community because it hurts their ego to let go of their mod positions and join an already established Android community. What adds insult to injury is that they come here and astroturf as if !android@lemmy.world doesn’t exist, hoping to absorb its users.
Yea, I mean, if you’re a mod, go apply to be one at the new community. I think a lot of new communities would welcome the experience the vet mods have.
I modded a country sub and it’s not my business to tell the sub where to go and when to go. It’s their community, they make the decision themselves.
My impression of Reddit and Reddit mods was that everyone was inexperienced, childlike, and toxic. Lemmy, so far, seems like a more mature audience. I rather like the Reddit subreddits moving to their own community, separate from what has been created in Lemmy already. I do not wish to have the Reddit experience over here. I stopped using Reddit for a reason.
Can you explain what the controversy is about? So the /r/Android mods tried to start an Android community on the fediverse but other people got to them first? How are they astroturfing?
- r/Android never mentioned Lemmy before when they could have made use of the blackout to introduce people to Lemmy;
- never mentioned nor helped !android@lemmy.world, and instead preferred to launch a tiny community much later on with the exact same goals and content just so that they can preserve their imaginary mod “powers”;
- waited until !android@lemmy.world grew sufficiently big and until the fear of missing out kicked in to come, and then decided to advertise inside this community for there being “finally” an Android community on the Fediverse, still completely gaslighting !android@lemmy.world here and on r/Android;
- the low effort advertisement in OP’s post pretending that we’re not already on a much larger and well-established Android community:

They still get to moderate /r/android. In the old times of discrete message board communities, there were various Android message board communities before everything started coalescing around Reddit. It’s impossible to have an opportunity to moderate every single community. If they want to create their own duplicate community, they are free to do so.
Hey there, I just wanted to quickly mention that /r/Android mods didn’t make the submission here and we wouldn’t have! OP seems to have gotten that description from the !android@lemdro.id sidebar. In case you’re interested, I posted a bit more context above.
