Communities just jumping around all the time. Its getting difficult to keep up.
These are the responsible ones who’ve managed the move well. Others just add a lil disclaimer in the sidebar.
That’s what happens when servers either shut down or instance admins end up being insufferable to the point that entire communities choosing to abandon the instance.
Not sure what would be an alternative solution given how federation works.
The solution is to not treat communities like official and unique subreddits.
On Reddit there’s the PCGaming subreddit. On Lemmy there are more than five. Subscribe to all, or the most active ones, or the ones you align yourself better with… And that’s it, there’s no need to be concerned about which individual post goes on which individual community for a topic, it will federate and others will read it just fine.
The problem with that is that the threadiverse(?) Is still small enough that dividing it in half means you’ve reduced engagement by far more than that. Let alone having 5 different communities with the same tooic. Piefed handles Cross-Posts way better though so it’s less of an issue for me now that it was on Lemmy.
I moved my community by just adding a notice in the sidebar, should I have done it differently? 😭
3 steps.
- Change the name. Add moved to wherever.
- details in the sidebar.
- one final post plus lock the community.
Thanks, I didn’t even know you could lock the community
