!reformed@lemm.ee exists to be a place where reformed believers, in a broader understanding of the term, can come together, unified by a clear Gospel witness, to exhort one another, spur one another on intellectually in reformed theology, and discuss doctrine.

Rules (draft)

We probably don't need as many rules as on reddit just yet. But some important ones will carry over.

Rule #1 Deal with Each Other in Love
Rule #2 Keep Content Charitable
Rule #3 Keep Content Clean
Rule #5 Maintain the Integrity of the Gospel and Gospel ethics.

I apologize if this is not appropriate for this community. But, I find the main reason I feel this way is because of my Christian faith. I've gone on Reddit twice this month to check for specific discussions or questions I had. I only ever used Reddit on a third party app, so I was upset but what was happening.

But surprisingly, I feel even more alienated and hated on here than I did on Reddit. Pro Life communities seem to be banned. I think there were one or two at some point, but I can't find any now. This community has very low engagement and content, which I understand.

I'm kinda in the middle politically, trying to let my faith guide my politics, but there doesn't seem to be a place for that here. The people here seem to be further left than Reddit and more intolerant of Christianity.

I think it makes sense. Of course the most "activist-minded" people would leave Reddit. Perhaps the most outspoken people. I left Reddit because dislike browsing it outside of RIF.

I feel myself more and more drawn to Reddit lately. There's obviously still a vast majority of people on there that my beliefs are still hated. But, there are enough people to carve out little communities of like-minded people.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. Apologies if it doesn't fit.

Yes I agree. I don't want to posts about the Bible on Lemmy, because most people hate it on that platform. I have made my decision so there is really no need for me to debate with anyone and that decision is that I as an adult have chosen to believe in God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you want to join other Christians in a closed community, there is the theres.life Mastodon instance, which you can join.

God bless 🙏
