Discussing the administration, rules, and future of FOSSCAD.io

founded 2 months ago
MODERATORS
 

Welcome to Lemmy. You did it.

As you may have heard, Reddit is updating Rule 7 of its Content Policy on October 9th 2025.
This change bans user-to-user transactions and discussions involving firearms, ammunition, parts, and related accessories β€” including 3D-printing files, suppressors, triggers, conversion kits, and similar components.

As a result, many 2A-related subreddits are being banned or forced to change.
If your community has been affected and you’d like to rebuild it here on Lemmy, welcome aboard.


πŸšͺ How to move your community here

If you’re a Reddit moderator or community member looking to migrate:

  1. Reach out to the instance admins or message the mod team here for setup help.
  2. We can assist in creating a new community, preserving flair rules (soon), and redirecting your members.
  3. Use pinned posts or mod-approved announcements to link your existing audience to the new space.
