Let’s talk about organizing a Belgian community on the threadiverse (the reddit-like side of the fediverse).
Right now, the community isn’t coordinated, there are multiple spaces that popped up after the blackout. There’s this one, there’s @[email protected], there’s c/belgique, I think there’s one on lemmy.ml too?
What do you guys think we should do? How should we reach out? Discuss!
If the moderators of /r/Belgium decide to move here we can ofcourse give them a mod spot too.
On the [email protected] there is not much going on and this community is already linked there as a related magazine. I think the people on kbin will find their way.
Since the /r/belgium subreddit is now private - I reached out to them. Sent a message about what we wanted to do here and that they’re welcome to join here and that a mod status is open too.
Since I see there is interest here in getting some kind of interaction going, I can join the /r/belgium discord later and try to talk to someone.
In the end it’s up to them if they want to do their own thing that’s fine too ofcourse.
Edit: I reached out to the /r/belgium admins on their discord channel and pointed them to this thread too.
So I made an account, so I’m at least here as a user
I reached out to the /r/belgium mods and had a talk with Dakracs on their discord channel. He’s also talking to other mods of /r/belgium and we’ll see from there. The /r/belgium sub is closed currently but maybe they are willing to link to us here. All still open for discussion but we had a good first talk.
So, welcome Dakracs!
Great job!
Welcome!
Welcome! What’s the mood with the other r/belgium mods & users? You reckon there are some that are willing to make a switch?
So far the answers I received were that they were not that interested in Lemmy right now. Not sure if that was only in a modding sense or also a user sense.
Can’t speak for the users, I linked this community so we’ll see how much influx there is.
