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 [email protected] and [email protected], being among the most active communities of the instance, won't mind me starting another one.

For the delay between LW and aussie.zone: https://aussie.zone/post/17712350

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"?

Locking inconvenient subjects

And unlocked

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.

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

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 [email protected]

Sadly.

By "drama" you mean subject inconvenient to yourself?

Are those others providing most of the content on one topic for the whole platform?

Your point is?

I'm not a mod on [email protected]

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

I'm not a mod on

And a lot of other communities where I regularly post

Do you see me creating communities alternative to those?

It's kind of ironic, because I can just use all the arguments people threw at me recently about [email protected] and [email protected]

  • 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?

Coming back to

Are those others providing most of the content on one topic for the whole platform?

Also, feel free to comment under each of my posts to promote [email protected] or [email protected] , I wouldn't mind.

And definitely not ban people over it.
