A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't disagree with you, but I still feel a certain responsibility to that community. I'd like to start divesting myself of that responsibility, but it'll take time if I don't want to just abandon it.
How about you make a lemmy community or a kbin magazine and officially migrate your subreddit there?
I've considered it, but honestly I'm kind of tired of it lol. It's an older series and so all of the arguments/discussions are just kind of retread endlessly, and I'm not as into it as I used to be. Also there are discussions about making a tv show and I wouldn't mind being as far away as possible once that kicks into high gear. I saw what r/WoT was like when that show came out and I don't want any part of moderating that crap.
Which series? My guess is Riftwar based on that description, but I’m curious if you’re open to sharing.
Not Riftwar, although I did love those books and even had a rogue on Ultima Online named "Jimmy the Hand".
It's a series called "The Chronicles of Amber" by Roger Zelazny. Great series but not without its flaws and never super huge in the public consciousness.
I remember reading Amber it was was a great series that unfortunately didn’t age as well as others from the same era.
Ah, makes sense.
From what I understand of how this whole system works here - you can just host/create your own instance for that community. Make some mod post on your subreddit about how you're migrating the community, if anyone can help host it if you're unable, and if they want to follow over they can.
Yeah it's an idea for sure. I responded to @curiosityLynx a minute ago that I'm really burnt out on that particular series so I think it's probably time for me to find somebody else to take it on and just move on myself.
