This user describes how most of the women-centered communities on Lemmy were shut down due to harassment of their members.

Another user adds "We need a safe space, but most of the women I know on here don’t have the time or energy to moderate it. And there’s so few of us, it feels like it’s not worth the effort anyway."

I was on trollx and it was a nice community. A community with a name derived from two X chromosomes will never be fully trans inclusive though.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a new name?

Femmy? Might be a bit obvious, but that's how I roll.

I feel like community names should be obvious.
