I suggest to keep the slowchats weekly until there’s need for more. (but feel free to disagree here!)

r/belgium reopened yesterday and I made a post inviting people over to our community here. It turned out to be a lot more controversial than I expected but I hope we can build our own community, not as rivals but as (distant) friends.

I am on the /r/Belgium discord and things are a bit complicated there right now. Don’t think all the mods are on the same line but yes everyone is welcome here and they can of course keep doing their thing 🙂

Anyway, summer time! On the plane right now waiting for take-off soooo 😁

There isn’t much I can say.

We created the Discord while the sub was shut, at that point the following people joined:

WC_EEND
CappuChibi
Myself

Since then we have demodded ourselves on Reddit but are still Discord mods. Historicus (historicusxiii on Reddit) is on there now too and is still a Reddit mod. Since this weekend Psy is also a Reddit mod.

I made different roles to reflect the differences, Discord mods and Reddit mods. I assume as the subreddit (or this place) gets more traction the Discord will be used less and less.

Oh and you’re commenting from your mastodon account too! That’s something I haven’t tried yet actually. I know it’s possible, but how is the user experience for lemmy?

Hello, Happy to see that there is an official announcement on Reddit, hopefully we can indeed grow both communities in parallel

I just went through the thread, it went better than I expected. Anyway, people who will come with time, the experience on Reddit is just getting worse and worse.

I hope I didn’t disappoint with my replies 😅 I tried to be friendly and not engage too much with the more hostile comments.

July is starting out nicely, had some days off and there’s no work waiting for me now that I’m back. There’s not a lot of traffic either and I expect it’ll be a lot less busy with questions and projects as well.

Finally time to update documentation and evaluate procedures.
