    Hello! I was an early member of the GayBros subreddit before it got all toxic and nasty.

    Hopefully it’ll stay chill here on Lemmy

      I like it more than Discord, which a lot of subs have been directing people to. Nothing wrong with Discord - it’s great for live chat and whatnot - but I don’t find it to be a good reddit alternative. Every time I drop in I feel like I’m walking into the middle of a conversation with no context.

      I love the post-and-reply paradigm with threaded comments, so Lemmy feels like a much better fit for me. Makes it much easier to casually browse and consume content, and participate in a more asynchronous manner.

        I find Discord absolutely unuseable for the same reasons as you. I feel obligated to read 300 messages before replying, and I just cannot be bothered.

          I’m glad it’s not just me! It seems like everyone is all about Discord and I just can’t wrap my head around it. Another thing that drives me nuts is that every server has a different set of hoops to jump though before you can see or do anything, and some of them are really strange.

      Still trying to figure it out. Tried the Connect app because it had good reviews, but I got more errors than not. Just started on Jerboa and seems way friendlier. Now trying to rebuild my feed.

      Just like when starting in Reddit, gaybros is my first stop!

      I haven’t noticed much from companies/institutions… In previous years, my gym used to do some pride-month related things, such as adding pride-related messages to the lockers. This year it hasn’t done anything yet.

        I work in K12 so I’m just about done for the summer. Got a nice vacation with the hub lined up for the last week of the month. I’d say, pretty good!

    I need an icon and a banner for this community. Does anyone want to create something?

      The icon could look like a bicep, so other bros know the community is tough. Maybe add a vein.

      What issues with Discord?

      EDIT: Nevermind, I see that someone else mentioned Discord in this post.

    Hi y’all

    Shall we bring back the daily events like MeMondays and FapDayFriday?

        MeMondays was people introducing themselves with a pic and some info.

        FapDayFriday was for posting porn you found recently. Just learned this is a SFW instance, so maybe not feasible here.

        There were other weekly events, but I can only remember those and Tech Tuesday to talk about technology.

          This is indeed a SFW instance, though I would not be against NSFW in designated topics. That would be fine. As long as the sub itself is not inundated with NSFW content.

          I do like your suggestions, though I don’t think we have enough of a community for it yet…
