I'm working on an activism campaign kicking off next week opposing some bad internet bills in the US -- here's the kbin magazine I just set up, and I might set up a Lemmy community as well if that makes sense. Once things get going, we'll be sharing links including information and actions people can take.

Have there been other activism campaigns on Lemmy or kbin, and if so what to learn from them?

Or, any thoughts on what could make an activism campaign successful here?

Do you really need 2 separate communities? Seems like that would just split your fledgling user base.

It turns out that crossposting to Lemmy works better from Lemmy communities. So, a Lemmy community is useful. Since I had already crated the kbin magazine and there's no way to delete magazines (!), looks like we'll experiment to see whether or not having two of them makes sense. Here's the Lemmy community I created, I'm using it for now to cross-post from other communities so that there's a single place to go for everything. [email protected]

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
