The community purpose can be changed too! Message or reply if you want to be a mod

The community was started after this post: lemmy.ca/comment/5057563

When Reddit was first becoming popular, were it’s communities and content basically just clones of other websites like Digg?

Someone mentioned how Reddit used to sockpuppet to fake engagement, so here we are.

You can make posts about sockpuppets reenacting real life events using:

Do they have to be current-day events? Or can we recreate moments from history?

  Historical sounds good too, it might be easier and in better taste too
  
  The example post was from the early days of Reddit

Or you could do an AMA, sockpuppeting as someone else.

I’m interested but I don’t quite understand it yet - like an RP community except doing news?

  It doesn’t have to be current news, I was thinking any events might work
  
  I’m also trying to keep this open to see if it affects community growth, open to seeing what people want to do

Why are napkins included with socks?

  Sorry the post was unclear, I just clarified. Doodling on a napkin was an example of post format, to show that it doesn’t need to be very detailed :)
