AccidentalRenaissance has no active moderators due to Reddit's unprecedented API changes, and has thus been privated to prevent vandalism.

Original post from r/ModCoord
For everyone who told us that they’d never taken a single art class and they could mod this place better with their eyes closed… Well, consider this a golden opportunity! It’s going to be tricky doing it with your eyes closed ever since Reddit’s painfully botched rollout of “disability friendly” mod tools in their disasterpiece of a mobile app has caused nothing but crashes and bugs, but you seemed so confident in the many (many, many, many) times you’ve expressed this opinion that we can only assume you know something about modding that we don’t!
Is such a fun line.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !accidentalrenaissance@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Oh damn, that's us!!
We'd wondered where the nearly 1.9k subscribers came from completely out of nowhere!
So, yeah, a lot of people are hating on us for creating one of Kbin and one on Lemmy, but we had our reasons: Basically, neither handled images very well and we saw that these two services did basically the same thing and that typically leads to the weaker project getting cancelled down the line, so we decided our safest bet was just to make one of each, just in case. Better safe than sorry.
We might consolidate them later, but for now just pick whichever you like best. :)
!accidentalrenaissance@lemmy.blahaj.zone for us lemmy folks
...why did they make two comms though when kbin and lemmy work together?
I'm so happy to see this community join us here, especially not being a mega-community with the same icon. We know the one on here.
I feel the more niche communities migrations will have a bigger impact. That something like politics or whatnot wouldn't. Like even Fuckcars is here, because Fuck cars.
For those of you browsing from lemmy.world here is how to access it and stay logged in:

Feel kind of honored. One of the posts that the founding mod pulled over was a pic of my dog.
Their heart was at the right place... But they didn't really understand federation huh. Splitting their communities like that is asking for less engagement and more user confusion. Just create it on Lemmy, interact with it using your Kbin user, and then it will federate and you can still provide the Kbin link if you so desire.
This has been awesome. I’m finding out about communities I’ve never known about but starting with Lemmy to follow. Thanks Reddit for making all of the worst decisions all at once.
I REALLY like it here the most. After a couple weeks, I’m barely missing it over there (I really miss Apollo, not Reddit, thank you to Voyager for providing a similar experience).
Oh this is great news, I've missed seeing AccidentalRenaissance posts

I'm so fucking happy. I went looking for an equivalent Lemmy community only a couple of days ago and there wasn't really anything. But now here are the OGs!
That's the spirit! Get the fuck in!
I'm excited to see Lemmy grow in the next year :)
Subbed! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you!
That is great news to hear!
I wish I could see more subreddits do this and finally make the switch to lemmy. I want reddit to have just a bunch of teenagers and elderly who have no idea what's going on using it. it'll be a big fuck you to spez
Cool! First time seeing it and now subscribed
One of my favorite subreddits
r/AccidentalFuckspezans.
Respect 🤌
Hell yeah, I love their content.
One of the best subs hands down. Sad to see it go but happy that I can subscribe again
Keep them coming
https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/170872/how-can-i-subscribe-to-a-remote-community-on-lemmy this helped my learn something today!
They said lemmy, but moved to kbin
There is already high quality content on the community. Go check it out.

Welcome
More of this please!
Noice, but 2 communities
Bravo! Congratulations for you stance!
It's happening!
Do not worry, I already replaced them!

All I need is the Solus sub to move over here and there is literally nothing on reddit I need; right now, that sub is pretty much the only place to keep up with developments on the OS since it reorganized and de-dormant'ed. Please let it move, please.

Good on you! Thanks for having a spine
Oh nice, they're on kbin
Yes lads!
do I have to subscribe to two? 🙃
First of many
What a back-story!
i'm guessing succinctness wasn't in fashion during the renaissance
Thats the spirit!
good riddance and welcome!
Another victory over the old country!
Test
Has anyone asked the historians if they would consider moving?
I kind of want to be a moderator, but not of the power trip kind.
