I was disappointed to see how much hate the mods were getting for taking a stand. Most of it was from people posting. The comment sections were mostly rebuking OP. Most people were saying things like “yeah, lord of the rings is TOTALY about bending the knee to fa face less power /s”.
Image Transcription: Meme
[‘Cast it into the fire’ - a three panel meme featuring Isildur and Elrond from the Lord of the Rings. In the first panel, Isildur’s hand is shown holding the ring between his fingers. In the second, Elrond speaks to him with an expression of distress and desperation, and the third panel shows Isildur responding with a smirk. The words “!starwarsmemes” (star wars memes) has been placed over Elrond’s forehead in the second panel, and the words “r/lotrmemes” (lord of the rings memes) is written above Isildur’s forehead in the third panel. The large text “reddit” in the first panel is placed on top of the ring itself]

Hello there! You are strong and wise.
Damn. Maybe we should get the high ground fist…
Light the beacons!
shakes fist at ground
What if we take the high grond instead?
It really sucks cause that was one of my favorite meme subs.
Yeah I feel like the quality over there of late was pretty good. Haven’t been to Reddit since mid June tho so idk what’s goin on over der atm
Star Wars Memes: “No, thank you! We don’t want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!”
Lord of the Memes: (!lotrmemes@midwest.social) “And what about very old friends?”
Star Wars Memes: (clicks link) “Gandalf?”YTMND… now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long, long time.
I kinda miss it…
I thought I saw a lotr or other meme community here?
Well, it’s not like that’s stopping anyone from spinning up one here.
This community has no affiliation with any of the Reddit subs either. In fact I had pinged mods of all four star wars meme Reddit subs about moving to Lemmy, and neither has even responded.
Maybe the admins went all Trade Federation and disrupted all communications.
That was even before the blockade.

https://lemmy.world/c/lotrmemes@midwest.socialGlad to see it growing. Made it a week before the blackout to have it ready and now the ball is rolling and it’s getting a bunch of users
Hmm seems to be an empty community for me?
I think it depends on when your Lemmy server/instance first discovered it. In other words, I don’t believe a Lemmy server will show posts from a community on another server from before someone searched for “!community@other-server.com” from your Lemmy instance for the first time.
I think. I’m no Lemmy expert.Try https://midwest.social/c/lotrmemes and you should see content.
Meme of the day :)
Great meme kid, now don’t get cocky
I feel the same way about r/mylittlepony.
I feel the same way about r/noncredibledefense and r/skyrimmods.
!noncredibledefense@lemmy.world
!non_credible_defense@lemmy.ml
!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works
!NonCredibleDefense@kbin.social
And I still don’t understand what it even means.
Aw, them too?
Though it’s been kind of peculiar seeing people discussing whether a subreddit is “officially” moving to some place other than Reddit, because aside from a few subreddits where there’s clear corporate backing there’s nothing “official” about any of them in the first place. The only people who claim to be making some kind of “official” decision are a couple of mods, and ironically Reddit’s fundamental position in this whole mess is that mods are easily replaceable.
I would dispute that “easily” part, especially for good mods, but it’s not like the creation of each domain-specific subreddit was some unique event that can never be replicated elsewhere. There are bronies here in the Fediverse. There’s !mylittlepony@kbin.social, !mylittlepony@lemmy.ml, !mlp@pawb.social, probably others I haven’t bumped into yet. They’re all small but they could grow.
