I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
By invite.
Not everyone who would find the group a good fit advertises their gender.
Maybe an offshoot private community from the main would be a good idea though.
Not everyone, but bit by bit the community could be built, just as it happened on Reddit. We already have the members of the Women’s Stuff community to start with.
I’m just not sure if Lemmy has private communities in the first place. I’m tech literate in the way all Millennials somewhat are, but by Lemmy standards I’m ignorant. I really don’t know much about the ins and outs of making communities here. If even direct messages aren’t truly private (by the nature of federation), I’m not sure if a private community is possible?
