Is there a sub for ama’s aka ‘ask me anythings’? If not where do people post them?
The !askmeanything@lemmy.ca would be good, as would !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !casualconversation@lemm.ee. Also, I am going to gently push back on the idea that you have to make a new community because Reddit has a similar one. An AMA is not philosophically different from the posts on any of several other text-based-engagement communities. If AMA posts start to crowd out the “original” content, then a new /c is warranted, but we just fragmented everything after the APIpocalypse, and discoverability is still a pain requiring steps that shouldn’t be necessary if people just want to communicate.
I forgot her name, but reddit used to hire a woman to manage the ama’s and that made this sub really distinct from the others.
Until they fired her… 🤷♀️
Victoria Taylor :'(
I had to look it up too, but it was Victoria. She was great as a celebrity wrangler to make sure they understood the vibe and would roll with the weirdness. I’m not entirely sure we need a Victoria just yet either, LOL.
She also had a knack for capturing their speaking pattern in her transcribed replies.

They’re called communities on Lemmy, not subs. And if there isn’t one yet, feel free to make one! This platform is young still, and needs people to start filling the void.
I know you’re right, but I’m willing to let the use of sub slide, because we all know what it means and community is such a long word.

They’re the same thing, it’s fine.
Yeah I know. Was just pointing it out. No big deal.
Thanks
Thanks

No problem!
