Hey all! WomensStuff has moved from lazysoci.al to !Womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone We’re a trans+ inclusive women only community for all things women including fashion, feminism and general female chat. Come say hi!
as someone who just got told to not post there ever again (i was not being mean, i was adding to community discussion), describing this community as “inclusive” is a bit of a misnomer.
Thanks Amazing Awesome and I know you weren’t being remotely mean. We’ve had to be women only because we’ve had so much abuse from the manosphere. We really appreciate nice men though, and I know you were just contributing.
You may want to consider closing the group and making it by approval only. I had commented before not realizing women only posts may have also meant no comments also. Hard to prove who is who online though.
Its a good idea but I don’t think we can do that on lemmy? I don’t want to seperate us too much but it’s something to consider
I don’t fully trust chatgpt, but here are steps it suggested.
Set Community to Restricted or Private During or after creation:
Go to your community page.
Click “Community Settings” (gear icon if you’re a mod).
Under “Community Type”, choose:
Restricted – Only mods can post; anyone can view.
Private – Only approved users can post/comment; content may be hidden from outsiders depending on server config.
🔒 Private is best for a fully closed community.
- Control Who Joins Still in settings:
Enable “Require mod approval to join”.
You can also toggle:
“Allow users to follow”: turn off if you don’t want lurkers.
“Enable posting for approved users only”.
- Manually Approve Members To approve users:
Users request to join your community.
As a mod, go to the mod queue and approve or reject requests.
I think “inclusive” in the context of a women-only community means it’s a women’s space that doesn’t exclude lesbians and trans women (or other LGBT+ folks who feel they belong in a women-only space, like some enbies and so on).
Nope, I dont fuck with that instance
TIL there’s a women’s community. will subscribe!
There isn’t, because you cannot prove a Lemmy user’s gender to enforce this. You can only moderate the content.
Glad to have you!
yay!!
Good for y’all. Sorry youse are having such a hard time enforcing the “women only” rule… Some people can’t take a hint or read a sidebar…
