Hi guys,
let me be upfront and blunt, just so this issue gets addressed early on.
There are two communities on two differnt servers. feddit.org/c/BuyFromEU and feddit.uk/c/buyeuropean. They significantly differ in daily traffic/contributers and amount of moderators.
One user of feddit.uk is quite vocal about his community being the real deal and puts a lot of effort in onboarding redditors in his community.
Acknowledging the viewpoint and reason ( META Discussion ), I don’t like how he is kind of overstepping placing his solution in any context, like it is the only real deal.
His arguments might be valid in some points, but the style is really poor.
Nonetheless, unmoderated communities without traction fade out by themselves and don’t need artificial accelration.
To be honest it is upto @[email protected] what to do with this community and to see if he wants to step up and put more moderators in place, or not.
I would prefer to have both communities to evolve in whatever directory they are heading, without interfering.
In the end informed people can subscribe to both and decide for themselves where they want to contribute.
Edit: one user, not moderator.
Hello,
Example from a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805
There have been parallel communities existing without a clear winner for a very long time
Communities need to be actively consolidated for people to converge on one community. Examples of closed communities
This is not a case of [email protected] vs [email protected]. The two BuyEuropean communities look very similar, and the instances have similar moderation policies.
Edit: another example from today: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39000941?scrollToComments=true
I would say I completely agree. If we want to create critical mass and be a viable competition to Reddit and co community consolidation seems useful, I don’t think we have the luxury of splintering.
For the buyFromEU/buyFromEurope thing, I would prefer if we consolidated into buyFromEurope as there’s of course a few countries not in the EU like the UK, Norway, Ukraine, etc that we still want to buy from. I will generally prefer buying from the EU but i think the community should be Europe not eu focused.
Thank you for your comment
Nice, … okay. No mod, just a vocal user 👍.
Does this comment better clarify where I come from, or would you like to discuss further?
I did’nt mean that you are a mod of this community, but mistakenly thought you were a mod of the feddit.uk stuff. I mean, you stated your point several times, now let the matter rest, until mod appears, or not. People have their infos and can make an informed descision, no need to advocate any further.
Sounds good, I didn’t think it was necessary to bring this up again as the Meta post is only a few days old
The same discussion evolved around the biking post and I felt it is like a one-sided guerrilla advertisement or a campaign and not relaxed enough.
If this community is abondanware, time will do its work - or other people will take over moderation.
Also, I just checked, I never posted on the biking post. Do you mean the phone post?
Righty right.
People still post to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.film/ has been down for more than a year.
Then feel free to contact server admins after lets say… 14 days of mods inactivity. The account is quite new, and fresh community creators tend to be over ambitious before realizing what moderation means (I inherited a stale community 😂).
That’s the plan usually. Here it’s a bit unique because the subreddit is getting momentum so it makes sense to try to have one consolidated community rather than two parallel.
