Whats the best way to take action for me as a single user? What kind of posts should I focus on making? Ive heard of fetching reddit posts, maybe I could do that if theres like an easy process to do so, I’d happily feed some communities I like with posts from the silicon valley mafia platform to this platform!

Also whats the name of this platform? I registered under feddit org, is the umbrella term called fediverse? Accroding to wiki then this(fediverse) should be linked to platforms like pixelfed and mastadon too, is it? How do I see content from them or in what way are these platforms interlinked with this reddit styled one?

      Yeah, as much as I support there being women only spaces here, especially around here where it seems like the only way that women are going to be able to have any spaces here is by brute force, I am unfortunately not a woman. And I don’t want to invade or force my way in. So just to repeat, I absolutely support and respect there being communities where women can mingle with each other without asshole men popping up every five minutes to shit on them.

      What I’m hoping for is that once communities like [email protected] are able to get a foothold and thrive and more women are actually comfortable around here, we’ll start seeing more communities that deal with things like skin and haircare and jewelry and thrifting and cool styles and shit. Because clearly most men aren’t interested or else those sorts of communities would be popping up already. So this place needs more of a woman’s touch first lol.

      Not complaining or being sour or anything. I have faith that it’ll get to the point where these communities don’t need to be gendered anymore but I’ve seen the way people around here can be so I also think it’s necessary for now.

      “Women’s Stuff” is such a fucking brain-dead name for content about skincare and hair. I’m a man, yet I also have skin and (some) hair.

      Is there a community like /r/skincareaddiction? That place was (probs still is tbh) the bomb for affordable/effective products, honest product reviews, and evidence-based recommendations from cosmetologist members.

          There’s no way I can position myself as a knowledgable person or gather useful resources when I only used the subreddit for beginner recommendations.

          I wouldn’t even be suitable as a mod for such a community because I don’t have the education or experience necessary to determine when a poster is making a dangerous recommendation (such as recommending a certain amount of retinol or using certain chemicals in a DIY mixture, especially as it relates to a daily routine).

          When it comes to topics that have the potential for injury, it’s important that these communities are moderated by people who know what safety looks like. Same reason that a mod of an electrical community should understand basic electrical safety.
