Did I heard someone call my name?
@Daryl76679@lemmy.ml for their contributions to several communities
Ello, and thanks for the shoutout! Was there anything in particular you wanted to ask me about?
Hello, welcome here! Nothing too specific, there are a few topics in the community that might interest you, such as "how to deal with being the only one posting to a community: https://lemmy.ml/post/14929885?scrollToComments=true
There might be a few others around, feel free to have a look!
@Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id for their posts on !android@lemdro.id
@Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id as it seemed the previous ping didn't went through
No it did. I'm just confused about what this community is.
Oh sorry, maybe it wasn't that obvious. It's mostly to discuss how to make the communities sustainable, and usually the regular posters are the ones that the main factor.
I wanted to ask you something very specific: do you think that !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id might merge at some point in the future? It seems like having two parallel communities is a bit confusing, as people might talk about the same things in two different places, and post the same content.
I know there were conflicts between the two moderating teams in the past, but I'm not sure that's still the case, especially now that thee communities are a bit less active than just after the API changes.
well, originally the !android@lemmy.world community was shut down since it moved to lemdro.id. the decision to "unmerge" was made by the LW admins and we have no animosity for that but we also don't have any plans for merging since we already tried that.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback! I see, it kind of makes sense from a historical perspective, but I guess it's just confusing for people wanting to ask a question or posting an article seeing two communities which both seem active and with similar rules.
We're certainly not against merging again, but it'll need to be initiated by the mods of !android@lemmy.world with the blessing of the admins there (and I suspect the mods are not open to this). We've already given it our best shot!
Small update a few weeks later: I DM'd the mods of !android@lemmy.world, and indeed they would rather have keep apart from you.
@anon6789@lemmy.world for their constant work on !superbowl@lemmy.world
Lol, it feels strange being invited here as someone not a mod or instance admin, and my original intent was to just lurk silently.
I do feel protective of this space now though, since participating so much more than I ever thought I would, and there are a few names in this thread I recognize for their contributions across Lemmy and I'm very thankful of the work you all have put in as well.
I'll make an effort to follow this community and share any helpful thoughts I have. I think we really have something good here, and I want to see it grow happily.
@Mr_Mofu@lemmy.blahaj.zone for their contributions to several communities
Aw thank you! I have been loving to support lemmy as a whole, feels like actually making a change!
@simple@lemm.ee for their contributions to different communities
@simple@lemm.ee as it seemed the previous ping didn't went through
Oh, hey. I'll check the posts here later.
