They used to have 915 users for the last 6 months on the old one, they just reached 937 for this month on the new one, so I guess most of the people interested moved.
!remindme to check their activity numbers 6 months from now and see how they compare. Hopefully it will be higher but I wouldn’t bet on it.
you can just announce that you are going to move, point to the new community, and then post the new content on the new community.
That’s the friction point. Most people aren’t as active as you are and tend to miss those kinds of announcements. Or they see an announcement and they scroll right past. That’s where you lose 90% of subscribers.
I wasn’t subscribed to the dbzer0 meme community, and I don’t expect it to replace the original one. Without knowing anything about what went down, I think y’all should just keep posting in the original community. But I will reluctantly subscribe for the time being, only because I greatly enjoy my LOTR memes and I don’t want to miss any good ones.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just saying that it’s very disruptive and should only be done as a last resort, because many Lemmy communities are fragile as is, and we don’t have enough activity to fill the communities that already exist. Trying to break off communities and replace communities is a dangerous game, and shouldn’t be encouraged to solve minor problems, but only for major, unavoidable problems. People are going to do what they want no matter what I say, but that’s my advice.
