On a serious note guys welcome to the new chessbeginners community. I have 0 experience moderating communities whatsoever but I just wanted to get a foot in the door and set up a Lemmy equivalent for the chessbeginners sub in case more shenanigans with Reddit happens. For beginners do feel free to post any questions, and for the rest, well, try to be helpful ;)

Have fun.

Thank you, and welcome to the community. Right now it’s pretty barren in here but if and when actual beginner posts start coming in I do hope you can continue to help out!
