My favorite group pre collapse was r/typewriters — how does one go about creating a sub here and having word of it get out?

Someone had created !typewriters@lemmy.cafe and I could swear it had some content, but engagement was low at the time and I think the creator abandoned it. I can move ownership to you if you're up to it.

Hi @Illecors — so, I found the group you shared the link to and I made a comment there.

I do not see the comment.

Another member of this thread also said they had trouble posting.

We are new to this.

Can you guide us regarding how to use the sub before we begin moderating please?

Hey, I've replied to your post. I see it has a few upvotes, which implies that federation is working.

In regards to another member - he might have trouble initially if nobody from their instance had subscribed to the community, yet. Once subscribed, everything should be fine.

I've also made you a mod.

Thank you — I think I’m still finding my way — but I shall contact you when I’ve got more experience here.
