Problem - if you want to recreate a community that has fragmented after reddit exodus, which instance do you choose so that everyone who were spilled all over internet finds a way back together? (lemm.ee)

Can this be instantly achieved? Or is it inevitable that this process of reaggregation into single community will continue for a long time (months or even years)? Let's discuss!

I personally am not a mod of any subreddit. I just had this question arise in my brain.

I think that time will tell which one ends up winning the race.

What I usually do is checking for activity, in terms of recent posts, comments, and whatnot. If both show similar activity levels, I'll just subscribe to both and keep watching for developments.

This should resolve this.

Now I'm wondering if I should try and recreate r/CuratedTumblr here, cause they all just kinda went to either tumblr or discord I think

Please do! I miss looking at Tumblr posts.

... Not enough to actually go on Tumblr, though.

I don't know how to run an instance but I did find a curated tumblr community, but I don't think it's the same people: https://lemmy.ml/c/curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works Also don't you have to pay money to host a server/instance?

Huh, it wasn't coming up in a search for me. I had to try searching for it like three times and the first time I clicked your link I got a server error. Well, I guess the Lemmy servers are a bit screwy right now. Thanks for the link!

I assume that creating a whole server/instance takes some kind of resources and cost, but I think just opening a community is free? I haven't tried it yet though.

You're welcome! It took me a bit to get that link working too.
