If they are on board, it would be great if we could make the community migration semi-official.
From past experience, the most effective way to migrate users seems to be to lock the old community and leave a pinned post redirecting users to the new community.
A few of us recently consolidated the electric vehicles communities this way, and I know Blaze has had similar successes.
The admin of the midwest.social banned someone for what seems like a strange reason, behaviour which is usually qualified as “power tripping”. People usually dislike that behaviour, and consider avoiding such instances, which is why PugJesus created the new community: !lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I dunno, it’s like, the instance admin has the right to trim the instance in a manner that cultivates the community they want to see. I’m legitimately not looking to start drama. I just don’t want to post on the midwest.social lotrmemes sub now. That’s the great thing about the Fediverse, decentralization and such.
If they want to make the migration, not only is that cool, that is amazing and not only will I happily mod the other comm’s mods, but step down from modding myself because honestly I mod too many communities as it is. But I’m not looking to make a case for abandoning the other lotrmemes sub, and I imagine most people will not have much interest in admin drama.
Have you reached out to @Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca, the active mod of !lotrmemes@midwest.social, for their thoughts?

I’m incredibly confused about what happened and what I should be doing.

It’s up to you.
Anyway, if TPM stops posting on the old one and focuses on the new one, that should be enough to bring people over
