    This feels like it should be cross-posted to !minecraft@lemmy.world but I don’t know how to do that? 🤔 Hopefully a few people start looking around for an alternative place to hang out. Even if 0.5% of that sub moved over to Lemmy you’d have a really stong community here!

        Cheers! I since see someone already posted a version of this over there with a slightly misleading headline “Minecraft is leaving Reddit”. So I’ll leave it for now but good to know for next time

      If I understood it correctly you just did by tagging it? At least thats how it worked in another thread coming from mastodon

    That’s pretty significant. Petition them to come here.

    this is pretty significant because this sub is managed by subdivision of MSFT and one of the oldest subreddit. So, I don’t think it is a good look for Reddit
