    Just read the news about Mulsanne and Jeppe. Saw what Reddit was doing to other communities, and braced myself for when it came home. So, off to a new platform until this one gets ruined, then wash, rinse, and repeat.

      I am a mod on RBR sub, we got inserted “old mods” in our group chats and a reddit bot that we cant remove from the group chat. Just saying.

    Echoing a big thanks to everyone here. I’ve been on other platforms since the mid 2000s, and this is the first time in a very long time that I’ve felt that this is the start (obviously not downplaying the efforts of users of Lemmy before…things…happened elsewhere) of something special. That being said, this is not a “mission accomplished” moment - we all have to work together to keep this going. A lot of us are recently coming from a platform where the sheer mass of thousands of users online simultaneously was keeping a reasonable flow of content coming. Keep posting first and third party content, keep asking questions, keep fomenting discussion, and keep being nice and welcoming!

    Just FYI. There are several F1 communities across instances, so be sure not to limit yourself to only one.

      Any other you can recommend, made my account on here today and as of yet I’m not very familiar with how all of this works

        I believe there is a !formula1@lemmy.ml. If you hit Communities and filter by All, then search Formula, you’ll find it!

        Though, you may notice there is an issue with hitting subscribe, it might just say that you’re subscription is pending due to heavy traffic and I read somewhere that it is a visual bug. However, even while pending it will show up in your subscribed list and content!

    Hey all, incoming from Reddit as well. Still not sure how this works. Are there multiple “f1” communities on Lemmy? As in, each instance has it’s own community? If so, this is going to be a hard pill for many to swallow I think :(

    E.g. if lemmy.world/c/formula1 is something else than lemmy.ml/c/formula1?

      I think the lemmy.ml community is distinct. I suspect it will be a case of a handful of communities opening up on different servers, and over time one (or a couple) will “win”.

        Hmm, unfortunate. I’ll just pick the most active one then and hope it get’s cleared up soon. But I don’t think it will be a great experience for most in this way.

        E.g. this one on .world has the most subs, but only 1 mod. The one on .ml looks healthier but has less members… hm.
