This is a great question. One thing that we’re trying to balance is keeping the feel of the original subreddit while also getting the full utility out of the new Lemmy format. I think that our hope is that people who are interested in traditional wet shaving will find !wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social and get the full experience there: SOTD thread, DQT, weekly threads (once I get that bot to start working…), etc. However, some members have suggested that we could have more specialized communities that may not get as much traffic but could be a good resource if people want to see more specialized content. So, for example, @iamsms@sub.wetshaving.social set up !de_razors@sub.wetshaving.social for more specialized DE razor content.

I think it’s all a work in progress at this point. I could see the benefit of /c/askwetshaving but I’m worried it would kill the DQT thread, which has been an important part of the community culture.

That’s understandable. One thing I really like about Lemmy is the ability to browse my home feed by new comments. Finding that really makes it easier for me to keep up on things in the community.

Welcome, great picture!

I’m not sure I ever tried the e-bar.

So happy to hear that! Our group came from a Reddit community and we were worried if we would find any new members if we moved to Lemmy. Great to hear that you were able to find us that way. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Happy you’re enjoying it! If you’re interested in exploring communities on other Lemmys, I posted something over in !ws_server_announce@sub.wetshaving.social about how to easily find communities across the Lemmyverse.

That’s cool. I created an account on Lemmy.ml as well, but it’s cool how you can really be on any server and it doesn’t matter. Don’t get me wrong, there are problems, but it’s working better than what I expected.

A good app would fix it for sure.

It was too cool when I saw your post from another instance, I couldn’t ignore!

[–] merikus 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven’t tried that one, what’s it like?

[–] merikus 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

How is it working for you?
