There was one comment that was derogatory, but in hundreds, that's pretty low

they’ve still only gotten to around 20% of their original subscriber base.

Not sure that's relevant. They used to have 915 active users for the last 6 months on the old one, they just reached 937 for this month on the new one, so I guess most of the people interested moved. Subscribers numbers are inflated as a large number of accounts aren't active anymore.

Major communities (c/memes, c/greentext, c/news, even something like c/eurographicnovels) cannot be quickly rebuilt in such a manner, you inevitably have to start from scratch.

Why not? The main issue with the first version of a community is to get enough people in the same place. Once this is achieved, you can just announce that you are going to move, point to the new community, and then post the new content on the new community.

It even happens now with !lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com which was created after some powertripping by the admin of !lotrmemes@midwest.social. In this case, it's a bit different, as both communities are still open, but the fact that most of the people who posted to the old community switched to the new is enough to give the new community 2.85k monthly active users, while the old one only has 2.72k.

No need to transfer the old content, give the votes, and all of that. People just want to be where the new content is posted.

It's definitely better to have the existing mods onboard than to try to compete with the existing community, which is why I asked you.

Not sure if you ping went through, so I'll ping @Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world too.

Still a bit surprised you guys don't have discussions regarding the community, that's usually how we do it in the ones I mod, but you do you.

Stop trying to be unique, you’re not.

Seems a bit abandoned: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/16308848

Why not go to Discuit and their 194 weekly active users if you want a fully centralized initiative?

As much as federeation gets criticized on Lemmy (and to be fair, it brings some issues), the numbers still show that Lemmy is the most successful Reddit alternative. By far.

and that takes a long time to build back up.

Can be done in a few days if you warn the community beforehand and keep them informed where to go.

!sideoftheroad@lemmy.today is a good recent example from !sideoftheroad@possumpat.io

Have a look at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

A few threads mention LW mods powertripping

It is very concerning that most active communities are in LW or Lemmy.ml.

Any plans to move !asklemmy@lemmy.world to another instance?

Why? It's still there, just under the old account

I'm European. I still prefer not to qualify 300 millions of people as idiots.

I definitely don't. Better for my mental health.

exclusively European phenomenon, yes?

Definitely mostly European, but Japan imperialism still happened

Seems like you added precisions in another comment, so at least now people reading this have the full picture.

As far as I'm concerned, the picture was correct for UK, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands. For other countries, I was hoping other people could jump in, as you did.

No idea who that is
