Heyy, I just want to say that I've joined the party too!

We're an international network with a sizeable German population. Content is posted in German and English so this place is probably one of the best places to learn!

I'd like to see if anyone would be interested in helping a moderate a community for the purpose of learning german because there's only so much I could moderate alone.

I'd like to have one person who is learning German and atleast one native speaker who is willing to give a hand every now and again.

You don't have to be a linguistic expert to help out, you just have to be familiar with the rules. The rules can be found here: https://dataterm.digital/legal

Any help would be appreciated. This is a hypothetical situation for now but if it's something that the community would be willing to help with, it might be quite nice.

Thanks for reading!

Happy Friday Everyone! You made it to the end of the week!

Would you care to share something about this week? Come chat and unload.

You can freestyle it and talk about anything realated to this week. If you're not sure where to start, here are some example questions below.

• What went well?
• What didn't go well?
• Is there anything you're proud of?
• Is there anything that you are happy or excited about?
• Did you discover or set up any new communities this week?
• Is there something going on in your community that you are excited about?

(My previous post about this, which I was very happy with, got somehow lost in the digital veins of the federated matrix, so here's take two)

Hey there chooms. I had a cool idea that I wanted to lay out for y'all in case it strikes someone'd fancy: a Lemmy community (subreddit) dedicated to anything and everything cyberpunk.

I don't have the time, energy, personality type, or special kind of insanity needed to run any kind of social group, but I do think it would be nova to have a place for like minded 'punks to gather from all around the federated Net, dedicated to the cyberpunk genre and its ideals as a whole.

The ideals being both punk — anti authoritarianism, anti capitalism, radical self expression and freedom, anti traditionalism, and the DIY ethic — and cyber — all the stuff I said before, but high-tech.

A community like this could be a great draw, and is uniquely suited to the underground, corporate resistance nature of the Fediverse. Could be a real draw, especially when the cyberpunk subreddit is little more than an Instagram for pictures of cities at night.

Anyway, that's it, that's the idea.

Hey chooms, I had an idea I wanted to throw out there in case anyone's inspired by it: a lemmy community (subreddit) dedicated to cyberpunk as a whole!

I don't have the time, energy, personality type, or expertise to properly moderate such a community myself, but I do think it would be preem to have a community dedicated to actual cyberpunk. The genre, or anything aligned with cyberpunk ideals... as opposed to the cyberpunk subreddit, which is basically just an Instagram board for cities at night. A good cyberpunk community on the other hand could actually be a great way to draw like-minded 'punks from around the net and create a place to hang out and share stores of fucking corpos over (or being fucked over) and hacking cool tech.

By cyberpunk ideals, I mean actually punk, and actually cyber. From punk, the DIY ethic, anticapitalism, antiauthoritarianism, nonconformism, radical freedom and self-expression. And the cyber part means all that with a special attention to technology — hardware or software — and its uses in service of those ends.

Anyway yeah, I think it could be nova.

I can't find an option for it…

Folks, I need a little bit of your help. We started this little Lemmy instance without thinking much about it - lol.

So my question to you folks, what information are you missing. As I have noticed, our rules are a bit too hidden on this page. I will try to include them in the sidebar. Currently they are on our Legal page.

Is there any other information you need?

Small hint: Even if it's very cyberpunk'ish here, you are of course allowed to create communities or share posts that have nothing to do with cyberpunk :)

Update:

Link to the rules are now in the sidebar!

It's awesome that there's a Lemmy instance dedicated to Cyberpunks! By the way, is there a good Android app available for accessing this instance? Also, how can I connect with other instances on Lemmy? Thanks!

Oh cheesus, here we go!

There are upvotes for posts and upvotes for comments but on lemmy you're not reminded of an overall running karma total. The lack of this count makes me feel like there's a lot less pressure for every post or comment to be an absolute banger, witty, smart or something along those lines.

On reddit I would lurk a lot because I was none of those things but I feel like I can engage more now.

What do you think? Do you think it's a good thing, a bad thing or perhaps do you feel indifferent?
