Sappho and her Friend

Spurred on by this post in 196, I decided to finally create the fedi version of this community.

The community’s about instances of queer erasure by academics and others, mostly humorous in tone.

    Might be nice to have an “Achilles and his pal” community to compliment it ;)

      Eh Sappho lived in Lesbos, Achilles didn’t live in Gaybos.

      Maybe something that’s a more fitting name, like Gaylord and his Pal

        Let’s pick another one. Aces aren’t narcissists anymore than I am when I check myself out in the mirror. Buffalo Bill style.

          Narcissus was put to the death for not sexing anyone. One of his spurned suitors prayed to Nemesis that he should love what he cannot have. Nemesis made him fall in love with his reflection and die.

          The egotism isn’t a character trait, it’s a curse. Narcissus’ only character traits are being aroace, liking to spend time alone in the woods hunting, and being rude AF to strangers who try to rizz a 16 year old boy. Ace icon 🏳️‍🌈

      Why not just put it all in one? Do we really need a community for each specific form of queer erasure?

      Either of those should work.

        Only post is a gay couple. I feel like they already don’t understand the rules.

          A community dedicated to mostly humorous instances of queer erasure.

          Abides by that specific community’s rules. However, I feel “They Were Roommates” would work better for the name of a community for general humorous instances of queer erasure, as “Sappho and Her Friend” makes me expect it’s either lesbian-only or woman-only.

            The original reddit sub wasn’t wlw specific either, but I can change the display name to “They Were Roommates” if people want.

              I also figured it might have been something like that but I didn’t follow the Reddit sub. (Also, it is your community, you can do what you want, but we don’t have to be a 1:1 copy of them if we do not want to be!)

          Feels like you didn’t read the rules then.

Subscribe from Remote Instance

Create a post
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
