This site seems a bit dodgy, it’s telling people that Reddit’s 3D printing community has “relocated” to some random Lemmy site that seems dead other than one person just filling it with posts simply titled “balls”.

View on HN

Most of those things seem to be true. The 3dprinting mod did endorse those 2 alternatives, and they seem to be the mod of one of them, they also seem to be doing a terrible job moderating the instance they created, and the users of r/3dprinting seem to be spamming it because they disagree with how the mod handled things, and I'm guessing the mod didn't get buy-in from the users of the sub before trying to migrate.

I don't think that necessarily makes sub.rehab dodgy, they are accurately communicating alternatives both mod-endorsed and not.

That instance was from one of the mods, they posted about it here on HN a couple days ago too. They got roasted hard on r/3dprinting, but it's "official" as it can be. Personally moving to an instance that doesn't involve the mods (of any subreddit) is a benefit.

The 3dprinting communities on other Lemmy instances are plenty active though.
