Blaze
Thank you for posting here!
IIRC, Blaze (mod here) got banned under similar circumstances.
Hello,
That’s indeed why I opened this community in the first place. For people interested, you can have a look at this post for the details (open the spoiler): https://lemmy.world/post/11446250
I see where they come from, but from a new user perspective, it’s quite confusing to see too similar-looking communities, more or less similarly active, with more or less the same type of content, and not know where to post
!android@programming.dev is more software development oriented, and !android@lemmy.ml has the typical lemmy.ml spin to it.
I’m not sure how either side would agree to “merge”, since wanting self-governance was the reason the split happened in the first place.
Indeed, but on that point I’m not sure how the LW is currently moderated. The moderators don’t seem that active (it’s a trend I’ve noticed among a few LW communities). If I have some time in the coming days, I might contact them to see if they are still interested in managing that community, or if uniting forces with lemdro.id would make more sense
The newcommunities one in particular didn’t take issue with it? That was part of why I was asking, as I didn’t think they would appreciate posts about existing communities, but if they don’t mind then I take it it’s a non-issue.
Nope, see this post for instance: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/11513256
On the last part, it may not hurt to see if different AskLemmy communities would be up for including them in their sidebars, and maybe featured posts with pointers to Lemmyverse and !lemmy411@lemmy.ca if they don’t have them already.
Yeah, that would be a good one. I’m not sure how to really do it though, I know the !asklemmy@lemmy.world moderation team applies the rules very literally, so they might just flag any post there as “not a question” and remove it
