Hello everyone,

I haven't been that active in that community, it probably deserves better.

There are a few questions that should probably be asked:

1. Should we move the community to another instance?

As some of you may know, .ml is a polarizing instance (the reasons why are beyond the scope of this post, but feel free to have a look at https://lemm.ee/post/53735049 for instance). I've seen quite a few people blocking .ml in their settings, so any community hosted here could suffer from that.

2. What potential instances could we move this community to?

There are a few that come to mind

If you have any other you would like to suggest, feel free.

3. Would a potential migration have an impact?

This community isn't that active to begin with, so if have a pinned post here about the new community, lock it, and promote it on a few other places, that should be enough.

Other mods?

If someone wants to jump in as a mod, feel free! I'm the only one left (the two others mods accounts have been deleted), and having other people would probably help.

That's it for now, see you in the comments!

I’ve just joined the community, but I’d be happy to move across wherever. Both of the suggested instances make sense

I'll go wherever the action is, I just want an active community. If people wanna move I'll be there. Lemm.ee sounds like a good bet for more people, I guess, if that's the way people want to go.

Alright so I just made you a mod, so that you can act as a backup if I go missing (shouldn't happen, but better safe than sorry)

Fair enough I felt a little guilty for refusing earlier tbf.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

No worries!

I am ok here. And my account is from here. As long as you do not go to an instance that blacklists lemmy.ml, I'm fine.

literature.cafe makes more sense (as long as that instance isn't going to randomly disappear, which it doesn't look like it will)

Can you or one of the other admins fix the avatar and banner? They appear to be broken/missing.

FYI, I just requested mod access on a local account: https://lemmy.ml/post/25860235
