Did you document this on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
I don’t, but I also moved all the communities I mod off LW
So you don’t support the LW announcement?
Posting daily to the community is fine, starting to use an third party tool to schedule seems too much.
I’m lucky that usually I’m not the only poster in communities, so content gets there at other times as well
Feel free to crosspost to !AskUSA@discuss.online
I usually post 3-4 posts at the same time to my communities because it’s quick and easy. Not sure if setting up scheduled posts is worth it
Great news!
I got it using Obtainium
Feel free to call power tripping mods out on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I’m okay with the tradeoff
The Lemmy Web UI has an autocomplete function for communities names
There’s typically a surge of posts which attracts users from /all and /new, but those users eventually filter out as the content slows down.
We’ll see!
Most people aren’t going to follow power posters to the ends of the earth, they’ll simply engage with the content that is most readily available to them, and they really don’t want to bother with splinter communities and moderation drama.
There’s definitely several factors at hand. If only a few power posters move away, then the old community will probably stay prevalent. If there’s no more content, it will die. You mention All and New, and those are definitely where people see the new communities. It’s not the end of the world, some users might not even notice the community change and just vote/comment on the top posts of the day, wherever they are.
But there is indeed the network effect. !linux@lemmy.ml is still the main Linux community, even though !linux@programming.dev and !linux@lemmy.world exist.
As a side note, !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today are not moving for fun or to avoid power tripping. They are moving because the instance of their old community is closing.
So it’s rather nice to see them successfully moving that way, as unfortunately it will probably happen again in the future for other instances
!remindme to check their activity numbers 6 months from now and see how they compare. Hopefully it will be higher but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Why do you want to check in 6 months? They moved 3 days ago, up to that point they were still posting on the old one, so the 6 months activity for the old community is all the activity there was. Or am I missing something?
Without knowing anything about what went down

You can have a look and assess whether that was “major” enough. But that’s the way activity works on Lemmy: the people posting are free to go to another community whenever they want, and when they leave, the old community usually dies.
