I want to add a community that is essentially the Lemmy version of an existing subreddit (r/mcmansionhell). Is this allowed?

    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…
