Those communities already have followers right?

!growthefediverse@slrpnk.net was created less than one week ago

I wasn’t aware, thanks!

Link to the discussion thread: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17908/threadiverse-working-group

@spaduf@slrpnk.net FYI

They use Sah-main branches

Thank you for your feedback!

I would say it’s a different type of growth. A topic that regularly comes up is consolidation of similar communities (the most recent example being !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as the suggested alternative to !privacyguides@lemmy.one !privacy@lemmy.world , !privacy@lemmy.ca , !privacy@fedia.io etc.)

So it’s a type of growth, but more internal than external.

Having two communities seems better as people busy with keeping their communities active aren’t automatically interested in promoting the Fediverse externally, and vice versa.

this community here is thriving

Which one? !fedigrow@lemm.ee , !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net or !fediverse@lemmy.world ?

Same reason there is !fedimemes@feddit.uk separated from !fediverse@lemmy.world , the intent and type of content are different

The issue is that they have very similar names while being different. I edited the post to make it more clear.

No, we want to keep !fedigrow@lemm.ee on its current instance with its current objective.

The question is about the other one, which is about promotion of the Fediverse rather than growth of communities already here

That community is 3 days old, it had 11 posts, it’s still very reasonable to create a meta post about it and point people to the SJW

Unless there is some kind of automatic link forwarding that I’m not aware of. I’m making assumptions about what “Redirect” means based on my knowledge.

If you lock the community and pin the post to the SJW one willing to post will just follow that post to the SJW community

There is a fancier version like what @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev did on !football@lemmy.world

• ping everyone who ever commented on the old community using a script
• configure a bot to lock every new post and redirect them to the new community

But the last point probably overkill for a community that’s 3 days old.

And for the first one, it can be done manually too

Yes, this one or Matrix

@gedaliyah@lemmy.world ?

Oh, it very much is

Sorry to hear

That could indeed be the VPN use.

You could maybe consider

• https://discuss.online/ for an instance based in the USA that defederates lemmygrad and hexbear, similar to what Lemmy.world does
• https://sopuli.xyz/ for an instance based in Europe that also defederates lemmygrad and hexbear
• https://lemmy.today/ for an instance based in the USA that does not defederate anyone (their blocklist is literally empty)
• https://lemm.ee/ for an instance based in Europe that has a very short defederation list (like 4 entries: https://lemm.ee/instances)

LW uses Hetzner, a German hosting company. The majority of people having issues seem to be from NA, which makes sense due to the further distance.

Sounds good, thanks! Feel free to open a brainstorming there here on !fediverse@lemmy.world or on !fedigrow@lemm.ee

Have you been banned? Do you see anything preventing you from commenting, or is it just slow?

Hm, that’s a lot
