I’m LadyAutumn and I’m the moderator of this community. I hope everyone has enjoyed their time on Lemmy thus far. This space is very much still developing, but its nice feeling like a transfem community is developing here.

I myself migrated to lemmy from reddit just last week, and created this community initially to mimic the subreddit r/mtf. I used that subreddit a lot, and loved having a place to talk with other people who understand what I’m going through. I knew if I’m going to use this platform long term, that on lemmy I would want a community for transfeminine people.

This space isn’t on reddit though, and isn’t controlled by or related to the moderation team of r/mtf. So things here won’t be exactly the same. I want this to be a community for news, for advice, for trans joy, for discussions and questions, and whatever else we want to have here. I want this space to be community controlled and for everyone to have an influence on what this community is and how it is moderated. That will mean polls and community posts and whenever they come up I’d encourage everyone to participate in them. This is a space for us, and we all should have a say.

Also thank you @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone for hosting the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance that is hosting this community. She’s doing this without any profit motive and has been working hard to keep up with the huge influx of users around here lately. She’s awesome and has already been an active part of this community.

I figured I’d make a post sharing my perspective on this community and what I think it should be. If you have any thoughts or suggestions please feel free to share them. :)
