Hello and welcome r/India Reddit Refugees to Official India community on Lemmy
I moved to Lemmy and was missing one of my favorite sub.
After missing it, I decided to create and make it available to others like me.
Welcome all and let’s create a healthy environment for discussion and sharing tips.
Just noticed the “official” word in the description.
How and why is this the “official” community?
What/who is officiating the community here? Or is it just wordplay? Or is it the goal?
For any newcomers to
fediverse. It takes some time to get oriented and started. During that, initially all joins the same community that is available on the local instance before they get hang ofLemmy.This nature of fediverse is good, but it also creates multiple communities, thus it disperses out the users.
So the goal is to make this as an official, so that all the dispersed users from other instances have a common community instead of sparsely populated small ones, which in turn limits interactions.
Hope I was able to give you my reasoning behind making this one
Official.And on another note, welcome :)
Hope this gives all of us a common platform to interact with each other more.
So ‘official’ here means more of ‘primary’ or ‘preferred’, and less of ‘authorised’.
As long as the reasoning is noble and not misleading, I am good.
But the reasoning also ensues having a dedicated instance. Is that the eventual plan? Or is that something for later and/or someone else to worry about?
Also, thanks for the welcome! :-)
I hope to play a part in making this community be more active. Already made a post to understand what kind of content flies here.
