Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.

    Lemmy is super uncomfy for women right now. The women i know are either still on reddit or just gave up on social media altogether.

      You’re welcome to join us on slrpnk.net. We’re a safe and inclusive space, and also we’re defederated from most of the shittier instances by default.

      What reasons are they uncomfy and is there any way we can make women safer here? Not sealioning, being genuine. I try my best to make my instance as inclusive and welcoming as possible and would love to know if there’s anyway I could improve. I honestly would go as far to say there’s a pretty high ratio of women on literature.cafe compared to other small niche focused instances, but I don’t have any actual statistics to gauge from to say definitively.

      Out of curiosity, what changes would you suggest to make it a more welcoming place for women?

        I don’t know why it’s uncomfortable for women here, but I assume they would feel that way whether they revealed their gender or not

        If OP is getting unlucky enough to, idk, encounter a solid stream of sexist memes in their feed or something, “revealing” gender is kind of irrelevant to the level of uncomfy they might feel.
