I’m mostly thinking about LW communities where nobody posts but which have active counterparts on other instances
My opinion is yes. That existing subscriber base goes a long way towards jumpstarting an active community
Thanks, good to see you here!
Yes! I think it’s a good idea.
I like this because people showing up to those communities might think that topic doesn’t have activity on Lemmy, when it actually does. Assuming the moderators are still active, the abandoned community can stay open to new posts (in case there are issues with the active counterpart).
I personally subscribe to both, so that I can get all the posts, but I post to the community I consider the ‘main’ community
Thank you for your comment!
I did it yesterday in !interestingasfuck@lemmy.world to show people that !interestingasfuck@lemm.ee is there, let’s see how it goes.
I sometimes think that unmoderated communities should be closed, and just be left and locked with a pointer to the active one. In case an issue arises with the active one, they can still be unlocked and used as back up.
