I'm a reddit mod trying to restart my sub on lemmy & I had questions for the admins here.
I'm a mod from r/TheArmedGayAgenda subreddit it's for lgbt+ firearms owners, we're working on our own lemmy instance but I was curious if we'd be welcome setting up a community here?

You're more than welcome to do so! If you're inclusive, this space is for you, doubly so if you're queer :)
I am just disappointed because I first read LGBT+ firework owners, and imagined a community dedicated to creating some truly fabulous firework displays. Alas. :(
They're is [email protected] if you're just looking for firework art. Looks like it's not very active yet though.
Do it
Welcome! I'm nobody here, but yes, absolutely!
Small world! I am also a nobody!
Your post doesn't have any down vote. It says a lot !
Welcome to the fediverse !
Downvotes are disabled on this (lemmy.blahaj.zone) instance. 😉
That said… I’m personally quite anti-gun, but I accept there are plenty of queerfolk who feel differently. Hopefully Lemmy will soon allow users to mute specific communities so I won’t see this group’s content in my Local feed. But my dislike doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a safe and welcoming place for their discussions, so I still wouldn’t downvote this even if I could. 🙂
You can block the community once it's created and you'll never see it again. Which is what I'll be doing, since I have no desire to see the promotion of murder weapons or even more usdefaultism in my feed.
Oh thanks! I mistakenly thought that feature wasn’t available, I must have gotten it mixed up with something else. I’ll take advantage of that, too.
You might have mixed it up with instance blocking on a user level. That's what's not possible atm.
You can't block a whole instance yet, may be what you're thinking of.
Yep, same. I'm anti gun myself, but this is a space for queer folk, and if other queer folk want to talk guns, there is space for them to do so
I don’t like guns either but as long as they promote safe storage, training, and good safety then cool
i'm a faggot who hates guns and i would love to see y'all set up shop here! doo iiiit
Sure! We welcome all of your gay guns, your homo howitzers and your flaming throwers!
GayKs
And LesbiGuns...
Would love to join!
Wouldn't an alien be the opposite of an American, and therefore not entitled to your constitutional rights?
Not according to SCOTUS!
Firearm ownership is based
I’m on kbin, plus the cis het thing going on, and I say do it. People are here, which reddit has been missing for years.
I set up a version of LiberalGunOwners a week or two ago; as far as I'm concerned, you are more than welcome. As Operation Blazing Spear sez, armed queers bash back.
I'll join. I don't own a gun, but I'm an old lesbian trying to decide if my arthritic hands would tolerate the discipline of learning to shoot.
I can give you some pointers if you would like. Definitely do not let anyone talk you into a snub nose revolver, old fudd gremlins like to tell women to get small revolvers & their snappy & really bad options all-around. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have & I can point you in the right direction.
I'll gladly join
thats oddly specific!
It's a thing.

I think that it's partly because gun rights get associated with social conservativism in the US, because that's just how the political parties have happened to align for their political advantage. The Dems have a big contingent that object to firearms, and the Republicans a big contingent that has a problem with homosexuality.
If the particular combination didn't cross lines of political association, I don't think that it'd be such a big deal. Be easier to find groups who wouldn't hassle someone on one point or the other.
