Hello everyone,

!askandroid@lemdro.id was initially created to avoid getting !android@lemdro.id to get overwhelmed.

Last week, !askandroid@lemdro.id has 4 users, so it seems like activity pretty much halted.

Should we close it and redirect to !android@lemdro.id to consolidate activity?

Like I said over on Matrix, this is the bit that would bother me

I think the one thing to take into account is if !android did grow to silly levels (I joined r/Android when it was at ~1000 users) when you have 2 million users you do need a degree of a separation

Help vampires while I like to try and help, thereā€™s too many of you šŸ™ˆ

The day we get there Iā€™ll happily be in favor of segregating

Well yeah, but like I also said over on Matrix this post of yours should really include the prior ROMā€™s youā€™ve used/problems you encountered to spark more discussion?

Itā€™s a bit of a cul-de-sac of a post to be honest.

I could say ā€œI donā€™t use any, so Iā€™m curious what the community thinksā€, but that doesnā€™t really add value
