Many thanks to @Vittelius@feddit.de for creating this!

We are hoping to make this the new home for questions in, for and about Germany, in English.

Be nice to one another as we figure stuff out along the way.

Thanks!

Thanks for creating this. Found the way over as well now.

I was a regular in /r/Germany for 11 years. I hope this here will be somewhat of a replacement.

Wir haben noch nicht mal ein offizielles Deutschverbot hier ;-)

Ah, das wollte ich auch gerade fragen :D Aber prinzipiell soll es hier mehr in Richtung r/AskAGerman gehen als r/German (das Sprachlern-Sub)? Oder ganz was anderes? :D

Naja eine Fusion aus askagerman und Germany irgendwo. Ich hab so richtig nie verstanden, wo der Split herkam.

Und sorry für die späte Antwort, ich benutze normalerweise einen anderen Account, wollte nur mit einem lokalen die Community bei feddit registrieren.

Hi, running away from Reddit Germany! They deleted my farewell post because the mods didn't want the users to say goodbye to their peers.

Hallo! Is this an okay place to ask German language questions as well? Ich lerne…langsam.

[–] h34d@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You might try these communities instead: https://feddit.de/c/deutsch_lernen https://lemmy.world/c/german . From what I understand this one is more for English language news and discussion about the country, Germany.

Edit: Just saw that a mod further down said they don't want to necessarily separate discussion about the country Germany and the language German all that much as long as the community is small, so for now you will probably be fine asking here as well if the language-centric communities above are less active.

There's also !deutsch_lernen@feddit.de on this instance.

[–] godless@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Oh certainly, we don't discriminate ;-)

They don't allow hyphens in usernames, so I had to ditch the life ;-)

Care to join the mod team?

Right? That's why we are here, after all!

Hallo and Hello. /r/AskAGerman sent me here. I think I noticed one or two familiar usernames already.

[–] Mica@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wanted to say "hi" because you sent me here :)

[–] agrammatic@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

We've got one! :D Hey, welcome. I hope we get a nice, if small, thing going here in parallel.

[–] JetpackJackson@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this going to be similar to what r/Germany or r/German was like?

[–] godless@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

For the time being I don't want to separate them all that much, given that we have only a handful of users. The initial thought was to make it a mix of Germany and AskAGerman (where language requests were not explicitly discouraged).

But once the userbase is large enough it certainly makes sense to branch out into a separate language channel and maintain this one as a discussion forum for, with and about Germans/Germany.

!wiki

Hmm, some work to be done still 😀

[–] godless@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

I'm not much of a developer unfortunately, and there's no automod right here... Nor is there a wiki system. But I'm sure that will come over time. Until then we'll just have to make do with an off-site wiki somehwere.

Hey all, glad to see some familiar names here. This is my first time posting something and I’m hoping this works as my account is on lemmy.world rather than on feddit.de. But apparently that doesn’t matter? Curious to see if this can get off the ground.

[–] godless@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Correct, it doesn't matter on which instance your account is registered, they all interact with one another. Since we are expecting a major influx of users in the next 12-24h it could however mean that individual instances are overloaded, while others work just fine, so I guess in the next few days we all need a little patience :-)
