DISCUSS THIS OVER HERE: https://lemmy.world/post/41077713

The December edition for the "ElectoramaNews" was published a couple of days ago. This newsletter intends to be a periodic newsletter covering the electoral reform space (pretty much everything covered on electowiki). Condorcet methods, STAR voting, approval voting, RCV/IRV, you name it. Even FPTP gets some coverage. I'm currently planning on publishing it monthly. The first edition of the ElectoramaNews can be found on electowiki:

A video of me reading the newsletter can be found on YouTube:

Future videos will likely be uploaded here:

The genesis of ElectoramaNews: that was the ElectoramaCall, which is a new monthly call happening the third Wednesday of every month. The next call is scheduled for Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 2pm Pacific Standard Time. Email me to RSVP. To get something put in next month's ElectoramaNews, msg me or email me or join the Electorama Discord and ping me.

Deleted community in hopes of renaming it in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

I figured it out (or the software changed in the past year). Clicking on the garbage-can icon restores the community. I wouldn't have discovered that without hovering over the garbage-can icon and seeing "Restore" in the hovertext.

Deleted community in hopes of renaming it (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm a reddit old-timer but a relative Lemmy noob. I created a community called "electionmethods", and then realized that I wanted the name to be "election-methods". I tried deleting the community in an attempt to start over, but the old community remains. I then decided to wait, and hope that the deleted "electionmethods" went away so that I could start clean. I want it to be renamed "election-methods", since I've been running a mailing list since 1996 called the "election-methods mailing list", and I'm hoping to encourage the members of the list to use Lemmy. How do I rename "electionmethods" to "election-methods"? As a bonus, I would love it if "electionmethods" redirect to "election-methods".
