I created a Lemmy community for Sexual Assault Survivors. Now, I need advice. What are the rules and ressources you want to see in my community, Lemmings ? (lemmy.world)

I'm a french feminist guy. I created a safe space for all Survivors and their loved ones, exactly like r/rape on Reddit. BUT, btw, not EXACLTY. r/rape is pretty wild and had bad moderation. r/SexualAsssault is ALSO weird and sometimes wild. r/MenGetRapedToo is too little to become one day a first-class resource on Reddit.

So, I want make my Lemmy community useful for all users. What are the things you want to see in it ? I've already decided to add links and ressources redirecting to RAINN.org, hotlines, and other useful helps. What can I do After this ?

I don't think you need to keep the naming structure the same as Reddit, especially if you don't need to keep any official connection to the subreddit moderators and you disagree with how they ran things

If you're looking for names, perhaps "sexual assault support"? Or just "sexual assault", and ignore whatever went wrong with the subreddit

You can also link to related communities once you find ones that align with what you're trying to do. For example, !mensliberation@lemmy.ca sounds related to what you have described

    Ok. Hmm hmm. Sexual Assault Support sounds greate, so I'm probably going to rename the community description.

    I saw your community link, but... Typically the type of content you can't post on my communities. This is sexist. As a man I was assaulted. Both genders are victims.

    Yea I thought of that name because that's the phrasing used by the organization at my former university, which I know has done good work. In case you find any helpful resources, their website is here: https://www.amssasc.ca/

    I'm sure there are many other excellent organizations out there.

    Typically the type of content you can't post on my communities

    Yea that's my bad, I haven't kept up with that community since subscribing to it a few years ago. It looks like the discussion in that community has gotten less focussed and shifted towards discussing areas of controversy. I agree it's not the kind of stuff you'd want for your community.

    When I first subscribed to it, it was closer to what they still have in their sidebar:

    This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.

    All the more reason why your new communities will be helpful :)
