Hello,
Example from a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805
There have been parallel communities existing without a clear winner for a very long time
Communities need to be actively consolidated for people to converge on one community. Examples of closed communities
This is not a case of !politics@hexbear.net vs !politics@lemmy.world. The two BuyEuropean communities look very similar, and the instances have similar moderation policies.
Edit: another example from today: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39000941?scrollToComments=true
I would say I completely agree. If we want to create critical mass and be a viable competition to Reddit and co community consolidation seems useful, I don't think we have the luxury of splintering.
For the buyFromEU/buyFromEurope thing, I would prefer if we consolidated into buyFromEurope as there's of course a few countries not in the EU like the UK, Norway, Ukraine, etc that we still want to buy from. I will generally prefer buying from the EU but i think the community should be Europe not eu focused.
Thank you for your comment
Nice, .. okay. No mod, just a vocal user 👍.
Does this comment better clarify where I come from, or would you like to discuss further?
I did'nt mean that you are a mod of this community, but mistakenly thought you were a mod of the feddit.uk stuff. I mean, you stated your point several times, now let the matter rest, until mod appears, or not. People have their infos and can make an informed descision, no need to advocate any further.
Sounds good, I didn't think it was necessary to bring this up again as the Meta post is only a few days old
The same discussion evolved around the biking post and I felt it is like a one-sided guerrilla advertisement or a campaign and not relaxed enough.
If this community is abondanware, time will do its work - or other people will take over moderation.
Also, I just checked, I never posted on the biking post. Do you mean the phone post?
Righty right.
People still post to https://lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film
https://lemmy.film/ has been down for more than a year.
Then feel free to contact server admins after lets say... 14 days of mods inactivity. The account is quite new, and fresh community creators tend to be over ambitious before realizing what moderation means (I inherited a stale community 😂).
That's the plan usually. Here it's a bit unique because the subreddit is getting momentum so it makes sense to try to have one consolidated community rather than two parallel.
The sub team just joined Lemmy, by the way: https://lemmy.world/post/26229380
