Fuck Tumblr. Fuck WordPress. Fuck Automattic. And fuck Matt.

Tumblr has some interesting content from users, but the platform is awful and it’s even worse since Automattic bought it. Also, the trend to put the entire contents of the post in hashtags is flat-out stupid and infuriating.

Automatic is a tremendously terrible company, and Matt is an egotistical pile of garbage.

I’m sad that didn’t go to a “porn” site for the extremely religious where they show uncensored women’s ankles.

Granted. You will die in 2026.

The next TED talk was pretty bogus.

AI will never make a good enough translator. It can work for basic translations, but even then it has big failures. Assuming those small things could be resolved (but only to an extent since it could never be 100%), it still will fundamentally never be able to fully replace a person.

It’s not that you shouldn’t do it at all, but something to keep in mind while you take the time to learn the platform. You can create the community and keep it private while you learn the moderator tools.

First, Lemmy is not reddit. They are similar platforms, but they share still drastically different. More importantly, I’m specifically talking about the platform, not the general idea of managing a “community” in the broader sense.

For example, knowing modlogs exist and understanding the modlogs and that they are public. Also understanding how users from different instances interact with other instances. Where to find the moderator tools and information regarding moderation.

It seems you want to run a community entirely off of a mobile device using an app, but none of the apps are really fully compatible with moderation tools. The best way to moderate is via a browser.

There’s just more to running a community than just clicking the create button, deciding on a name, and posting content.

Since you got the answer you were looking for. I’d like to address this:

My doctor said if I have ADHD, that it’s not bad enough to do anything about.

That response is just awful. How would they know? If they knew the bare minimum about these types of conditions, then they would never say anything like that (i.e. masking symptoms to try to ‘fit in’ and such). Otherwise, if they don’t know enough about the subject, then they shouldn’t be acting like they do. A doctor should be familiar with saying something like “let me look into that more.”

Undiagnosed and unmanaged ADHD (and/or autism and general anxiety disorder, which are comorbidities) leads to a drastic increase of the likelihood of developing drug abuse and addiction, and even an increase in mortality rates and decreased life expectancy (link) among other issues.

To be completely honest, I suggest getting to know Lemmy first. Trying to run a community when you can’t even figure out how to create one is a sign that you’ll run into other even bigger walls. It’s definitely like trying to run before you can even walk.

Thank you for using the actual movie art
