Is there a sub for ama’s aka ‘ask me anythings’? If not where do people post them?
You must log in or register to comment.
The [email protected] would be good, as would [email protected] or [email protected]. Also, I am going to gently push back on the idea that you have to make a new community because Reddit has a similar one. An AMA is not philosophically different from the posts on any of several other text-based-engagement communities. If AMA posts start to crowd out the “original” content, then a new /c is warranted, but we just fragmented everything after the APIpocalypse, and discoverability is still a pain requiring steps that shouldn’t be necessary if people just want to communicate.
I forgot her name, but reddit used to hire a woman to manage the ama’s and that made this sub really distinct from the others.
Until they fired her… 🤷♀️
Victoria Taylor :'(
I had to look it up too, but it was Victoria. She was great as a celebrity wrangler to make sure they understood the vibe and would roll with the weirdness. I’m not entirely sure we need a Victoria just yet either, LOL.
She also had a knack for capturing their speaking pattern in her transcribed replies.
Victoria from Reddit.
There’s one at [email protected] :-)

Like, “Why’s your face so stupid?!”

No problem!

They’re called communities on Lemmy, not subs. And if there isn’t one yet, feel free to make one! This platform is young still, and needs people to start filling the void.
I know you’re right, but I’m willing to let the use of sub slide, because we all know what it means and community is such a long word.
And this place is designed to be a clone of reddit so it seems dumb to be bothered by someone using reddit terminology here.
Don’t know if you’re joking but this is not supposed to be a clone of reddit. I’m not bothered really I was just being nitpicky. I mean, of it’s all the same, may as well use the right word.
Then why does it have almost identical features/layout/intentions? It’s for people to switch to.
No it’s not a replacement fabricated for that purpose. It looks similar because the structure is a sensible one that makes sense for its design. It has no relationship to Reddit other than the fact that it’s a good alternative.

It fits what was said then. It is, as you said, an alternative.
Yes an alternative. One of a few but arguably the one with the most potential. It’s just you seemed to imply it was an intended replacement, that’s all. No sweat.
It is common amongst cloned software projects to completely rename a lot of the original software’s terminology.

What a bizarre thing to think.
What exactly do you find bizarre about it? Like how is it not identical to reddit with the exception of federation? Most of the communities here are direct copies of reddit subs and/or places to repost reddit posts.
psst. It’s the federation.
A clone with the addition of federation.

They’re the same thing, it’s fine.
Yeah I know. Was just pointing it out. No big deal.
