Welcome, everyone, to the Lemmy WetShaving Community.

With the API changes at Reddit, some in /r/WetShaving are considering migrating to other platforms. We presently have a growing Mastodon server at http://wetshaving.social, a Discord server, and an IRC channel. The hope is that Lemmy will become a useful addition to those other opportunities for this community to interact. However, that is ultimately up to the community, and if this isn't working we can try something else.

At the present time this entire thing is an alpha test. I am still working on server configuration. If you encounter any bugs, please message me so I can either figure out what is going wrong, or email our hosting service about it. We are presently one of the only beta testers of Lemmy hosting at knthost.com. They are presently providing us this for free in exchange for beta feedback, and when the beta period ends the cost will be about $10 a month.

Ultimately, once the alpha period is over, the hope is to have a conversation about how we can ensure sustainable self-governance for this community. But, at present, this is all about just getting things up and running and seeing if people want to continue to use this service. We also need to think about Federation, which is the only way for us to gain new members if Reddit implodes. Right now we are private and not Federated.

Things I will be working on in the near term is automating the daily SOTD and DQT posts, putting together the rules, etc. So please just play nice in the sandbox while those things are getting going.

Thanks for joining on this post-Reddit adventure, I'm looking forward to seeing where it brings us.
