Welcome to Lemmy. You did it.
As you may have heard, Reddit is updating Rule 7 of its Content Policy on October 9th 2025.
This change bans user-to-user transactions and discussions involving firearms, ammunition, parts, and related accessories — including 3D-printing files, suppressors, triggers, conversion kits, and similar components.
As a result, many 2A-related subreddits are being banned or forced to change.
If your community has been affected and you’d like to rebuild it here on Lemmy, welcome aboard.
