Is there a sub for ama’s aka ‘ask me anythings’? If not where do people post them?
The !askmeanything@lemmy.ca would be good, as would !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !casualconversation@lemm.ee. Also, I am going to gently push back on the idea that you have to make a new community because Reddit has a similar one. An AMA is not philosophically different from the posts on any of several other text-based-engagement communities. If AMA posts start to crowd out the “original” content, then a new /c is warranted, but we just fragmented everything after the APIpocalypse, and discoverability is still a pain requiring steps that shouldn’t be necessary if people just want to communicate.
I forgot her name, but reddit used to hire a woman to manage the ama’s and that made this sub really distinct from the others.
Until they fired her… 🤷♀️
Victoria Taylor :'(
I had to look it up too, but it was Victoria. She was great as a celebrity wrangler to make sure they understood the vibe and would roll with the weirdness. I’m not entirely sure we need a Victoria just yet either, LOL.
She also had a knack for capturing their speaking pattern in her transcribed replies.
Victoria from Reddit.
There’s one at !askmeanything@lemmy.ca :-)

Thanks 👍
No problem!

They’re called communities on Lemmy, not subs. And if there isn’t one yet, feel free to make one! This platform is young still, and needs people to start filling the void.
I know you’re right, but I’m willing to let the use of sub slide, because we all know what it means and community is such a long word.

They’re the same thing, it’s fine.
Yeah I know. Was just pointing it out. No big deal.
