If you're not familiar with r/okbuddyrosalyn, it is focused on parody edits of Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. The subreddit was recently struck with posts removed for unclear copyright claims, and one of their long-time moderators and prolific posters was banned.

I just posted on the subreddit, suggesting they move to !okbuddyrosalyn@lemmy.world. We'll see how it goes.

If you still have a Reddit account, feel free to help out in that thread. There will likely be people who are unfamiliar with Lemmy or the Fediverse, so keep that in mind when replying. We were once newbies too :)

Good luck, OP! Lemmy could use a lot more original shitposts instead of ones found on other sites.

For some reason I was thinking there was already an okbuddyrosalyn on lemmy...

There is!

!okbuddyrosalyn@lemmy.world

We just need more Redditors to know about it.

Ah, that would explain why I thought that lol

My only suggestion is to change the link to a different frontend. The old. one is somewhat unmaintained and at this point a lot of Reddit users might be used to the new Reddit layout and find old. to look dated. I don't use it myself, but some users have brought up issues with it on our instance

You could also instead mention the different UIs and/or link to https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/alternative-uis

Thanks for the suggestion. I've switched the links to the default interface.

Different UIs are definitely a nice feature of the Fediverse, but I don't want to clutter the post with too much info.

.old ftw, but the oldredditredirect extension saves me from so much crap.
