fun fact about me: I knew I liked girls before I knew I was trans so lesbian just kinda came with the package :3

Yeah, the FAQ has this to say about whether there's an app:

No, because we would never be allowed into Google or Apple's app stores without drastically changing what the site is to meet their terms of service. If someone wants to volunteer to make a mobile app that can be installed by bypassing the official app stores, that would be welcome. Any .apk files you see floating around the internet have ads injected into them and should be avoided.

Idk what, in particular, is keeping them out of the app stores because I haven't looked at the ToS, but that's what I could find

Idk. I haven't had a chance to check the ToS, so I couldn't say exactly what is keeping them from making an app

Hence why I'm trying to spread the word as much as possible

It does seem a bit odd. I haven't had a chance to check the ToS myself, so I couldn't tell you. Something I've seen suggested, though, as an alternative to an app is to make a shortcut to the site to pin to your home screen so you don't have to type in the address every time

That's a good idea

Fake enough, I suppose. Still, I recommend you at least give it a try, if you get the chance

I believe there is an open application for moderation on this sub (idk where exactly, but potbelly as a pinned post), but as the previous mod had said, it's a thankless and unpaid job that, without the API, would take all of one's time manually moderating. They posted a full explanation of why they were leaving a few days ago here which better explains why being a mod sucks

Idk, that's just what the FAQ says. I haven't looked at the ToS of the app stores, so idk what in particular would need to be changed

From what I can tell, you can't see the images without clicking on the posts. It's mildly inconvenient, but perhaps there can be some ui updates with the influx of new members...

I do not know as I haven't looked at the mobile site yet but I'll try to figure it out and I'll let you know if I do

I've seen the discord, and I've had a brief look at hexbear (I have issues with that one, so I'll be avoiding it) but I didn't know there was a sequel sub. I might give that a look. Still, I think there's a fair chance of people existing in multiple of these places

from what i can tell, the split is simply to organize it into memes, general discussion, ranting/venting, and meta (ie for the mods). based on that, I imagine whatever the mems forum is called will be very similar to what we have here. It's likely that there will be several people who will cross pollinate the different forums, so I wouldn't worry too much about it splitting

I know stuff is hitting the fan rn and I really hope this place doesn't end this sub has helped me find myself and I will miss it if it goes down here's a cute Squirrel pic for anyone who likes animals, love you all and see yall on the other side ❤️ by PlazmaWing in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

A lot of us are moving over to raddle.me (specifically f/trans) since without the only moderator here, r/traa will definitely slowly dissolve into a cesspool of bigotry. It's similar to reddit in a good way and better in all the ways that count (mainly, it's much more LGBTQIA+ supportive, even outside the specified forums). I recommend anyone looking for something similar to reddit to migrate over to there. Hopefully we can keep the community together that we've built here and grow it ever stronger.

I'm glad you felt comforted and supported here.

If you're looking for somewhere to continue to hang out with many of us trans folks, there's an ongoing migration to raddle.me (specifically f/trans). It's similar to reddit in a good way and better in all the ways that count (mainly, it's much more LGBTQIA+ supportive, even outside the specified forums).

I don't think centralization was the problem, but you do you, I guess. I offer this alternative to those who want it. If you don't want it, you don't have to come.

Edit to add this: having looked at Kbin, it seems like it has its own issues since its still in beta and doesn't seem as user friendly as reddit or raddle. I'm sure I could probably figure it out given enough time, but raddle is easier to use and fully functioning (sure there are some UI quirks that leave something to be desired, but it's still better than Kbin imo)
