On reddit, stopdrinking seems to be a support network for people who are in the process of quitting drinking, and for folks seeking and giving support for maintaining sobriety. Is that the same goal of this community here?

Something I never found on reddit was a sub for alcohol-free living that was not a support sub – a place for memes, jokes, mocktail recipes, more silly/casual gripes.

What do folks here think about a community like that on Lemmy? I wouldn’t want to overly fragment an alcohol-free community, but also wouldn’t want to use a support sub for that kind of content.

    None of the mods here were mods on Reddit. I’d let them take this over if they came here.

      I think it’s also worth noting that /r/stopdrinking has stayed open throughout the entire blackout period – which makes complete sense, as a support sub that is a lifeline, perhaps the sole lifeline, for many.

      So mods not having to manage two communities, while also giving community to those who want or need it outside of a reddit if it’s no longer a place they want to support, is great. Thanks for making this!
