Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don’t have alternatives on other instances.
Let’s discuss this and see if we can organize together.
I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.
I posted to [email protected] and [email protected] about [email protected]
Someone else and I cross posted all of the content from [email protected] to [email protected] this morning.
I went to Reddit and HN to get content to that community too.
Is it really that stale?
On the other hand, I don’t think defederation is necessary nor useful. Build rather than break.
Hey I applaud your effort, yesterday the top post was several days old and top day was empty on one of the subs, so this is already better.
I’m a bit skeptical if that will be enough though. Active discussion is the meat and the potatoes for me when I go to a tech community, and for that you need more subscribers.
Subscribers come to active communities. Feel free to post there too.
When presented with a choice, people usually pick the community that is the most active and already has the most subs.
But I am definitely giving it a shot.
Right, but when one of the communities has a reputation for authoritarian admins and mods dedicated to spreading propaganda it’s a bit different.
