Fediverse

The dude in question included their intention to move stuff in their application for an account.

Well apparently there was some sort of miscommunication.

Also lack of content is an issue on lemmy right now. We need more people posting.

I don't agree with this for a couple of reasons. Reddit didn't go from good to bad because of a lack of people posting. I think I'll let this comment by the reddit OP speak for itself: "Ultimately, it's up to the server admin(s) to allow you on their server, and being 'too corporate', 'kind of spammy' or 'dry and uninteresting' is enough of a reason to turn you away." I have never in my life heard of a community being banned for being dry or uninteresting, so that leaves...

Like I say, I've had admins say to me (more than once now that I think about it) that a community would be better placed on a different server. I said ok gotcha and moved it. If it's unanimous among server admins that your stuff doesn't belong on their instance, that's absolutely a you problem.

He also conveniently refuses to identify the communities he's trying to migrate, claiming he doesn't want to draw "negative attention" to them. Honestly it sounds like the system is working as designed, and better than I would have expected.
