Hey there. If you are bored and have some spare time, how about creating a post that brings in a favourite piece of DD (due diligence) - be sure to credit the original author :)
Or how about messaging a MapleApe on the old site and letting them know about the ‘lemmy-verse’ lemmy.ca/c/gmecanada/, for a good start?
A cheap and quick way to move DD over here is to just post the original DD’s title, with a link to the Ape-Historian’s mirror of the original (https://www.apehistorian.com/) or a direct link to an archive.is or similar page capture in the post body.
EDIT: Love that lemmy lets one edit TITLES after posting. Already beats reddit for that alone! (OK, automod filters would be nice too.)
Welcome! Please spread the word (via reddit DM or comments) to get apes over to the lemmyverse as a backup space. Mods from the old place could set up similarly-named communities easily, it’s a ‘green field’ right now…
