I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio "not official" or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they're willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It's like the whole place has imposter syndrome.

We're the adults, guys.

We're here. This is our community now. We broke up with that site, and we are making a new one. Run your community the way you think it should be run. Their communities are not any more official than ours. This is our place, not theirs.

We're the adults. We're the mods. We're the community.

I have several subs that I mod that the other mods want to remain open. I get it. I really do. So I keep notifications on and mod as needed but spend my time here.

Everyone opening a commujity is as “official” and legitimate as anyo ither community on any other platform. The userbase decide how succesfull it will be but besides that, unless you own the IP hour bulding a community around (like if your the game developer or something) I feel like “official “ is a weird way to describe a Community
