Tip: want to post to your own profile/user space? Create a personal community and set it so only moderators can post. (lemmy.world)

For those switching over from Reddit that are interested in this feature, there isn't a direct substitute for this with Lemmy right away. Instead you have to create a community and set it so only moderators (which will be you) can post, and everyone else can only comment.

The plus side to this approach, despite the initial hurdle, is that you can name the community however you like, give it a distinct icon and banner and so on.

That makes a lot of sense! I haven’t done it, but it occurs to me that you could do this, and teach yourself how to run a community, at least on the technical side, in case you want to make one folks can join!
