Hey folks, I thought I should pop in and make a quick post given the surge in signups at lemmy and the rapidly growing subscriber number of this community.
First of all, when I created it I didn't really put any thought into the future, I just wanted to hear and talk about disclosure news. For that reason, I did not attempt to define any rules or guidelines. As it stands, with about 700 subscribers, we still don't have enough engagement to really be concerned about moderation. It also helps that most people seem to be fairly well-behaved on lemmy so far, but that may change soon as reddit refugees continue to flood in. If it becomes an issue I will define rules and gather moderators as needed.
Secondly, if you see posts in other UFO/UAP communities that are missing here, perhaps you would consider cross-posting them. I certainly miss plenty of things.
Finally, thank you to everyone who has been posting valuable content here! We are currently the top UFO community on the lemmyverse as far as I can tell, and I hope that we can continue to spread knowledge about what is ostensibly the most ridiculed topic in recent history in a sane and reasonable way.
For all that don't want to open Reddit, there's an instance archiving posts to lemmy (lemmit.online) you can follow and crosspost to other communities !ufos@lemmit.online
When I view the community through the lemmy instance I'm using, I'm seeing no posts there. I guess this is a problem related to vlemmy but just putting it out here if someone else is having the same problem and is confused https://vlemmy.net/c/ufos@lemmit.online
edit: now it shows the reddit threads there, so probably as I understand vlemmy hadn't seen them yet (as no one in vlemmy had been accessing the community yet) and it took it some hours(?) to sync the stuff from another instance.
