!mapporn@lemmy.world has been locked down in favor of !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

!starwars@lemmy.world was locked down today in favor of !star_wars@lemmy.world

Are there other communities we should try to consolidate?

Wish Star Wars had its own instance like Star Trek, or at the very least wasn’t on world.

It's fine for now. Hopefully it will change in the future, but let's see.

@Emperor@feddit.uk initiated a discussion about a StarWars instance, but it got removed by the mod for being off-topic.

About the icon, it is now fixed, might take some time to federate: https://lemm.ee/c/fedigrow

I did indeed and I have that and two other posts drafted for !fedigrow@lemm.ee (delayed because of work and improving my crafting flow on here). I hope to get one or two off tomorrow.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fedigrow@lemm.ee

Where was that discussion? How can a meta discussion about the community's future be considered off-topic? 🙃

PS. Good icon.

Look at the modlog, happened a month ago: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1209

Had that happen plenty of times on other communities unfortunately...

Such a shame. Looking at the modlog, the moderator obviously didn't do it maliciously, hence trying to move the discussion to private messages, but ultimately, that kills any traction and prevents the community from coming together to support the idea and discuss important things like funding.

Oh indeed - Mods set the remit of their communities and enforce it. Experience suggests some don't like meta discussions - so it wasn't a post about Star Wars but about something which would be about Star Wars.

Yes, it's a bit Catch 22. Fortunately, @Blaze@reddthat.com has said I can restart discussion here, as it's a handy place to float to float ideas for new instances to see what the interest might be.

Indeed
