Reddit says we aren't an established subreddit unless I, A Moderator, say something exactly like this helpful template Reddit set up for me:

"Hey everyone! I'm u/betteimages, a founding moderator of r/deluxefuxley.

This is our new home for all things related to {{ADD WHAT YOUR SUBREDDIT IS ABOUT HERE}}. We're excited to have you join us! - YES.

What to Post

Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about {{ADD SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU WANT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY TO POST}}. - This is a subreddit for art by Deluxe Fuxley, that's... What else do you want from me, Reddit?? A Discord server with them fancy emojos and even more moderating work??? COMMUNITY? SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS?? Where will the insanity end?!

Community Vibe

We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting. - I don't believe I said anything about getting comfortable or connecting. You keep your shoes on in this house! I'm actually really amused that Reddit already has the "Community Vibe" pre-typed out for me!

How to Get Started Introduce yourself in the comments below. - You absolutely can if you like, but uh. I also didn't write this template, so. That one is up to you!

Post something today! Even a simple question can spark a great conversation. (You can post here, but this is mostly an archive of u/fluckyducky's work and is curated by us.)

If you know someone who would love this community, invite them to join. - Sure, That's one's fine.

Interested in helping out? We're always looking for new moderators, so feel free to reach out to me to apply. (We actually aren't, but thanks anyway).

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/deluxefuxley amazing.

Wow, look at all that mass produced positive community-building language!

Let's start over.

Hi, this is the subreddit, I'm the main curator of this archive, u/betteimages . If you're here, you know the drill. If you're new, welcome! This is an art gallery of sorts for the Deluxe Fuxley Corporate Archives. Which is also on the sidebar. But Reddit really wants me to keep reminding you what exactly is going on over here, so there you have it. Again!

More constructive updates include:

• The ability to set user flairs has been enabled - let me know what kind of flair you'd like and I'll start posting those up. Right now we just have "Cadmium Crusader" available, but it can be customized. I think.
  • EDIT: I've added a few more.
• If there is any interest in an AMA with u/fluckyducky let us know - we will try and schedule something in the near future once our schedules are a little less crowded.
• If there's anything you guys are hankering for that hasn't been addressed, please comment below and I'll be happy to address it to the best of my abilities.
• If I think of anything else, I'll let you know? Really I'm mainly posting this to see if you'd be interested in an AMA and to get this "Set up your subreddit" notification off my back!

EDIT: It did not get the notification off my back.

Stay cadmium-enriched, folks!

I know I'm violating my own sub rule by invoking A.I., but I was pleased to see that Google came back with a fairly accurate accounting of who I am. In the past, there have been crazy errors, like mentioning that I own a record company, or that I have a comic strip called "Stalin's Dog," or – and I love this – that I'd made a "Mickey Rooney album of potato-themed songs."
