What was the problem with !lotrmemes@midwest.social?
Also this older one too - https://lemmy.world/post/18414833 - i.e. this is a repeated pattern of behavior, not just a series of isolated incidents.
We probably want to inform @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world
Thanks for tagging me. This is a little upsetting. =(
The new one looks promising!
Yeah, I like PugJesus and have full confidence.
and have full confidence.
I live to disappoint!
Have you reached out to @Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca, the active mod of !lotrmemes@midwest.social, for their thoughts?
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.
I’m incredibly confused about what happened and what I should be doing.
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
Another example:
In terms of actions you can consider doing
- create a meta post on the current community to explain the situation to the members
- become a mod on the new community
- lock the community on midwest.social with a post to the new community (exemple: https://lemmy.world/c/casualconversation)
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.
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
Why do we need another one?
Noice! I can’t see any of the posts except one from today, though now that I’ve subscribed at Discuss.Online others should be able to see it there too.
A…nd now there’s 5 posts and 8 subscribers there from DO, wow it’s growing quickly, keep up the excellent work!:-D
If you want you can search for the post URLs in the search bar, that should fetch them
Ah, even the older ones? Nice!:-)
Except it looks like it won’t ever retrieve the comments for them, boo:-(. e.g. I was going to respond to a comment by egrets@lemmy.world with how “no man can defeat me” for their #1 list item, but I cannot (with a DO account) b/c there are no comments federated from https://discuss.online/post/14197685.
Though at least posts are coming in, now that I’ve subscribed to it.
You can fetch comments too using the search bar
Oh wow thank you. I have definitely tried that before and it failed, but probably there are certain conditions that needed to have been met first, like perhaps the post must already be there and/or the community already have started federating. So this feature definitely would have fallen between the cracks of knowledge for me if you hadn’t said so.:-)
Any particular reason this is being made while another exists? Not saying there’s anything wrong with it, just curious if there’s a reason
Just some unease about midwest.social’s admins.
In that case. Subbed
Well alright fair enough
Nice!
