Having separate communities with very low activity prevents their growth. Consolidation can be discussed if the mods are okay with it. On the other hand, if there are issues with the instance where the communities are located, then giving a try at another version of the community might help.

I really hope that both !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, being among the most active communities of the instance, won't mind me starting another one.

They currently have more than one-day of delay:

So, it is OK for you to do that but not for others, yes?

Perhaps it is the issue of control? Locking inconvenient subjects, like you just have done in this "your new community"?

This isn’t really the same thing.

I'm the only mod and I have to go, based on the history, I wanted to avoid coming back to a thread full of drama like the ones I linked in that post.

I'm going to find mods in the coming days. I'll also reopen that thread when I'm back.

Are those others providing most of the content on one topic for the whole platform? On top of that, I'm not a mod on !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Sadly.

By "drama" you mean subject inconvenient to yourself?

Your point is?

I'm not a mod on !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Are you a mod to "ask Lemmy"? No? This is why you created alternative community to it?

It's kind of ironic, because I can just use all the arguments people threw at me recently about !buyeuropean@feddit.uk and !buyfromeu@feddit.org

it's fine to have several communities on the same topic
if you don't like it, you can just ignore it
the mod team decided to keep it open, so it's their right

One rule for you and different for the other people, eh?

Locking inconvenient subjects

And unlocked
