@Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml

Multiple people have now pinged you in this thread. We would be interested in hearing your perspective on this.

True, though sometimes all it takes to grow a community is one or two users posting consistently. And in this case, both communities have a similar level of activity.

Not sure if you’ve seen this yet. We would appreciate your input.

Thanks for your input!

I would just like to note that using the algorithm of “posting wherever is most active” will usually result in consolidating to the largest instance, which is not ideal for the health of the fediverse as a whole.

Hydroelectric, I believe.

Paging !crows@lemmy.ml moderator @Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml. I think I messaged you a few days ago, but I’m not sure if it federated.

Would you be open to consolidating this community with !corvids@sopuli.xyz?

Also paging recent contributors @I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world, @Morph9@lemmy.zip, @NightCreature@lemmy.world, and @Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone for their thoughts.

Paging !corvids@sopuli.xyz moderator @johan_kontant@sopuli.xyz.

How would you feel about a potential influx of posters and commenters? Would you be open to adding Mechanismatic to the mod team?

Also paging recent contributor @cm0002@lemmy.world for their thoughts.

This one?

Great! Would you be able to do the following?

1. Lock !xiaomi@lemmy.world by checking “Only moderators can post to this community”
2. Create one final post on !xiaomi@lemmy.world announcing the consolidation to !xiaomi@lemdro.id
3. Rename the community to “[Dormant] moved to !xiaomi@lemdro.id”

Edit: I actually can’t see !xiaomi@lemmy.world anymore. Did you delete the community?

Thanks!

Good idea; Post pinned.

Update: If you are seeing this, we have successfully upgraded to 19.9. About 20 minutes of downtime. Thank you all for your support and kind words.

Thank you for all of your amazing work!

merges multi-instance posts with the same article URL

Are the comments sections merged as well? That would be major benefit, though it presents some moderation challenges as well…

Great post!

Thanks! :)

it’s also possible to ping all members of a community

That tool seems to have had… mixed reception. Seems like the main issue is that it pings every user who so much as glanced in the direction of the community at one point, rather than just subscribers.

lemm.ee could jump to 10k tomorrow

lemm.ee could even jump by 10k tomorrow, and still be in 2nd place :)

It is only 1-5 posts per day. That would not overwhelm a larger community like a maker space that included CAD, CNC, machining, woodworking, laser cutting, metal casting, optics, electronics, PCB etching and assembly, repair, hacking, upcycling, Arduino, and SBC hardware

I’m interested in 3D printing and CAD, but not the other topics. While 5 posts per day wouldn’t overwhelm a maker space community, the other topics would certainly overwhelm my feed, if c/3D_printing were to consolidate with a general c/maker_space.

Consolidating should always prioritize smaller servers in an effort to strengthen lemmy’s resistance against power centers.

An excellent point. I try to consolidate towards small-to-medium-sized servers, provided that they are well-managed. Servers which are very small, especially if they have only a single admin, have a higher chance of shutting down without warning.

Edit: Added a few edits to the OP.

Same. Though I occasionally click anyway, if I’m in the mood.

In Thunder, you can disable display names. All I see is “allo”.
