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

PugJesus@lemmy.world on 10 Dec 12:58 next collapse

Just some unease about midwest.social’s admins.

In that case. Subbed

Well alright fair enough

What was the problem with !lotrmemes@midwest.social?

Also this older one too - lemmy.world/post/18414833 - i.e. this is a repeated pattern of behavior, not just a series of isolated incidents.

tobogganablaze@lemmus.org on 10 Dec 12:58 next collapse

Why do we need another one?

Nice!

We probably want to inform @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world

Thanks for tagging me. This is a little upsetting. =(

Blaze@feddit.org on 10 Dec 14:06 collapse

The new one looks promising!

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world on 10 Dec 15:04 collapse

Yeah, I like PugJesus and have full confidence.

PugJesus@lemmy.world on 10 Dec 15:45 collapse

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 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.

Blaze@feddit.org on 10 Dec 19:05 collapse

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

Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca on 11 Dec 18:25 collapse

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

Blaze@feddit.org on 11 Dec 18:32 collapse

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: lemmy.world/c/casualconversation)

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

Blaze@feddit.org on 10 Dec 23:51 collapse

If you want you can search for the post URLs in the search bar, that should fetch them

OpenStars@discuss.online on 11 Dec 00:10 collapse

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 discuss.online/post/14197685.

Though at least posts are coming in, now that I’ve subscribed to it.

Blaze@feddit.org on 11 Dec 02:37 collapse

You can fetch comments too using the search bar

OpenStars@discuss.online on 11 Dec 02:51 collapse

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.:-)

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t have any personal beef with the instance but it’s good info.

You’re welcome!

Oh nice! I didn’t know this one existed!

Blaze@feddit.org on 16 Dec 17:49 collapse

Happy to help!

As you can see in a comment below (lemmy.world/comment/13918137), most of the posters now prefer the dbzer0 one compared to midwest.social

negativenull@lemmy.world on 16 Dec 17:54 collapse

Thanks for the background there. I’ve subbed to this new LOTR community!
