Welcome to everyone joining up so far!
Housekeeping & Rules
Reddthat's rules are defined here (& are available from the side bar as well). When in doubt check the sidebar on any community!
Our rules can be summed up with 4 points, but please make sure you do read the rules.
- Remember that we are all humans
- Donβt be overtly aggressive towards anyone
- Try and share ideas, thoughts and criticisms in a constructive way
- Tag any NSFW posts as such
I'm lost and completely new to the fediverse!
That's fine, we were all there too! Our fediverse friends created a starting guide here which can be read to better understand how everything works in a general sense.
As part of the fediverse you can follow and block any community you want to as well as follow and interact with any person on any other instance. That means even if you did not choose Reddthat as your home server, you still could have interacted with us regardless!
So I'd like to say thanks for picking our server to come and experience the fediverse on.
Reddthat "Official" Communities:
- Announcements: [email protected] (Also where you are reading this now!)
- Support: [email protected]
- Community [email protected] (for any & all topics)
Other Communities
Communities can be viewed by clicking the Communities section at the top (or this link). You will be greeted by 3 options. Subscription, Local, All.
They are pretty self explanatory, but for a quick definition:
- Subscription: Communities that you personally are subscribed too (can exist anywhere on the fediverse, on any instance)
- Local: Communities that were created on Reddthat
- All: Every community that Reddthat knows about
All is not every community on the whole fediverse, all is only the ones we know about. Also known as "federated" against.
There is the fediverse browser which attempts to list every community on the fediverse.
Just because a community exists elsewhere, doesn't mean that you have to join it. You can create your own! We welcome you to create any community on Reddthat that your heart desires.
Funding & Future
How we pay for all the services is explained in our main funding and donation post. We are 100% community funded, and completely open about our bills and expenses.
The post may need some updating over the course of the next day or two as we deal with an increased user base.
If you enjoy it here and want to help us keep the lights on and improve our services. Please help us out. Any amount of dollarydoos is welcome!
Good luck on your adventures and welcome to Reddthat.
Cheers,
Tiff

Are you mods doing okay? Your userbase is rising pretty fast. That sounds great, but also stressful.
So far it's not that bad. You can see on the modlog everything that I and other admins do.
Everyone on reddthat has so far been a pleasure to deal with. Even when people post on the wrong communities or accidentally do something that doesn't fall into our rules.
While we might not have the biggest communities (so far) but we all know moderating is a tiresome job.
Which is why we have a special tier on our donation page which I plan to use to help show our appreciation of our moderator's hard work with a small financial compensation.
Might I ask a question what are some good communities to join here?
I suggest browsing the community listing page for all your interests and subscribing away. https://reddthat.com/communities
Otherwise https://browse.feddit.de is a 3rd party which tries to find & index every community on the fediverse. But it doesn't have every community.
