Is this the new home of r/minimalism?

3 years ago by Lazycog to c/minimalism

Title.

There is a minimalism community on lemmy.ml but it's not active and the mod has been MIA for a long time.

The mod here seems to be active user and just wondering if I could start posting the same type of content that we had on r/minimalism.

Minimalism was in my top 10 favourite subreddits!

Only one way to start: get postin’

Just worried about posting content that this community was not intended for by the owner/mod.

I was looking for minimalism as a "lifestyle" community instead of art or design style.

It is until the mod says otherwise

currently it has no real purpose other than propagating the minimalist lifestyle and exchanging some views.

I'm hoping we can make this the new community. It's one of the only R subs I miss.

Agreed! Don't shy away from posting and commenting, let's build this community together :)

Any contact from the mod? This c/ is heading in two different directions.

I don't mind the aesthetic posts when the sub is new and small, but eventually I would like to read more about people living with less junk.

You mean the sudden aesthetics posts? I was surprised about that aswell. No message from the mod. Guess we should ping him: !PropaGandalf@lemmy.world (is this how it works on lemmy?)

Yes, it seems that we are already seeing the usual split between the minimalist aesthetic and the minimalist lifestyle.

Maybe it would be worth to decide which content we want to see here and open another community for the other?

Hey yeah, just created the community a while ago and had a busy time until now. I'll try to specify the core aspects with you.

Thanks for moderating! Whatever we go with, I'm just glad we have a place to discuss!

Great! I can help as a mod and some stuff to the sidebar.

I mod c/Oakland but this community is more active.

Hey, I made you a mod. But please remember that this place is relying on the decisions of the users.

But now you are really one of us, one of us happy lemming sounds

In 100% agreement. I'm not the gatekeeper of minimalism and have no agenda. Only hoping to add.

About us

An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.

Rules

1. Be honest with yourself and others.

The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?

2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.

Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.

3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.

In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.

4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.

This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report
