As some of you may know, !wholesome@reddthat.com is now more active than this community. Reddthat is a nice instance, and having the community there allows us to spread the communities across the different instances.

As it is usually easier for people to subscribe to only community, we are thinking about creating a pinned post here, pointing to !wholesome@reddthat.com, and lock the community.

If needed, the community can always be unlocked in the future.

Hello,

Piefed currently merges comments of crosspoats which is awesome and lemmy could in the future.

The issue is that at the moment, Lemmy still does not support this, and there's no clear timeline on when Lemmy 1.0 will release ( https://voyager.lemmy.ml/ shows it running, but it still seems like it's being tested)

instead of just letting each community grow and fade out on their own.

The other issue is that communities tend to not fade out on their own if they have a high enough amount of subscribers, even if those are not active users. The two !wholesome communities here are a bit of an example

  • LadyButterfly has been posting daily on the Reddthat one for weeks
  • The LW one is still used by people, either unaware of the Reddthat one, or thinking that they will have a larger audience on a community with more subscribers

There are communities where the instances have been shut down for years, but people still post there because they show a high number of subscribers: https://lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film

Lemmy.film shut down 2 years ago, posts made there never federate anywhere.

Finally, everyone is still able to create their own community on a topic if they wish to. Past experiences just show that usually there's poster burnout happening after a few weeks being the only poster on a community, and that it's usually easier to join an existing community.

Poster burnout is regularly discussed on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people interested.

Or like me they subbed to more than one of the same community across instances. It shouldn't be a competition.

Then the community fades away and that is what I would prefer to happen instead of formally closing and moving. A post about the prolific posters switching over worked well for the migration to piefed as far as I can tell.

It's not a competition, it's about keeping an activity level in one place. It's indeed easier to stay subscribed to several communities, but once you start posting you always double guess which one you should post to ( https://lawsofux.com/choice-overload/ ).

Then the community fades away and that is what I would prefer to happen instead of formally closing and moving.

As I said, it never really fades away. There was a post on https://lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film this week (https://lemmy.world/post/36120606?scrollToComments=true ) , that person will probably never get any comment there because it's not federated, but they have no way to know about that.

Then if someone shows up to give the platform a try, they have a look at a community like !lego@piefed.social that barely has any posts, when !lego@piefed.social has activity daily. They think the platform is dead, and leave.

Depends on the community. !movies@piefed.social is indeed more active, but you still have people posting to !movies@lemmy.world because they think it has a bigger audience. Same for !lego@piefed.social and !lego@lemmy.world. The only ones where there really a move were the communities on lemm.ee, as the instance shut down.

I know you've probably gotten this feedback a lot, but this whole crusade of yours of trying to reduce decentralization on Lemmy is really counterproductive. If Lemmy users wanted centralization they wouldn't be on a decentralized protocol.
