You can find the rules for this community, and all other communities we run, here: https://ourblind.com/comunity-guidelines/ Lemmy specifics: By participating on the rblind.com Lemmy server, you are able to participate on other communities not run, controlled, or hosted by us. When doing so, you are expected to abide by all of the rules of those communities, in edition to also following the rules linked above. Should the rules of another community conflict with our rules, so long as you are participating from the rblind.com website, our rules take priority. Should we receive complaints from other instances or communities that you are repeatedly, knowingly, and maliciously breaking there rules, we may take moderator action against you, even if your posts comply with all of the rblind.com rules linked above.

This is cool. /r/blind which is heavily affected by #Reddit 's bullshit has created their own instance instead of using a existing instance and creating a community there.

Really proud of them - https://rblind.com/

After everything that’s happened, we wanted more control over our own api and interface. What if we just set up a community somewhere else and then they added an inaccessible captcha? This way we can run our instance to suit ourselves, but still interact with communities in other instances.

@fastfinge Absolutely. It's the best case scenario for your community.

It shouldn't have come to this in the first place though, but Reddit's handling of this situation has been abysmal.

I hope your community can transition quickly and efficiently to the Fediverse and make it bigger and better than before :)

@padraig @fastfinge Can confirm federation is working over here, FYI.

Open protocols mean that while this is going to be a painful transition over the next couple months, we have the potential to end up better off than we were before. While the phrase "no pain no gain" is generally toxic, in this case it seems to be somewhat true.

@padraig @main Just testing to see where this ends up.

@padraig @main Fascinating that replies on Mastodon appear on the Lemmy instance ... if someone using rblind.com can be bothered, could you reply to me to see if that comes through to Mastodon, thanks?

@JonnyT @padraig @main I know, this is such a cool feature of the Fediverse. I love it!

@JonnyT @padraig @main This is the power of Federation! You can also follow their community like a group on your platform of choice! I gave the community a follow today and mostly just lerk.
