Maybe it shouldn’t be a thing? Trans Lemmy is so small that I think if anyone is subscribed to one, they’re prolly subscribed to the other, which means seeing the same post back to back?

Should /c/mtf be non-selfie, because the entire point of /c/trans_joy is showcasing happy trans people?

Or am I up my own butt about this?

    This community has always allowed image content. I’ve never really considered changing that. I’m curious what folks have to say about it.

    When I first made this community I made it because I frequently browsed r/mtf and could not find a community on Lemmy that really fit with that.

    I feel really that this community has diverged in some important ways from that subreddit though, and one of those has been allowing images to be posted here. I didnt want this to be a text post only community because I felt that it was good for transfem and questioning folks to have a place to share anything they wanted to. Most of the rules revolve around this principle of protecting a safe space for transfem/questioning people. Some kinds of images are banned. But I hadn’t considered banning selfies in particular.

    I agree, but also I’d rather see a general solution rather than us making specific rules in our communitues. I see doubled crossposts frequently and it is annoying, I’d rather ask for the client or server software to merge them in some way so the problem can be addressed globally.
