I liked the community that had built up and wanted to help that continue.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Because people will choose convenience over their vey own survival.
I just use Threadiverse and Threads can go piss up a rope.
Now there’s an argument to be had. I ave tried Mastodon and Firefish and found the latter to be far superior, feature-wise. I think Iceshrimp will be the *key fork that will finally the big breakout hit, especially with the Iceshrimp.net rewrite.
The best thing for on-boarding are topic-specific instances, it makes picking one much easier.
Mastodon isn’t even the best micro-blogging service on the Fediverse.
What would be the incentive for people to do that?
It’s all going well - everything is fully-funded and ticking along nicely.
We did it for feddit.uk, worked out fine - the main hassle was contacting the AWOL Admin. Then it was a matter of starting the transfer of the image files and going off to do something Interesting.
And PieFed and Mbin are also sort of “Lemmy” (though neither in that graphic that I saw:-).
It is quite an old graphic.

Give Mods and Admins the ability to move posts to another community.
Help promote longer discussions by using the sidebar to display comments initially sorted by “New”. Give options to filter comments by Community, Local, Subscribed, Mod View or All.
There is already Lemmy NSFW which, I am led to understand, has more boobies than you can shake a stick at.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Probably some mundane explanation but still…
As a community grows in popularity, it often shifts from hosting insightful discussions to attracting memes, funny, and low-quality content.
Seems the simplest thing would be to start a parallel memes community. So, for example, if it was an issue on !movies@lemm.ee we’d look into a movie memes community and those that don’t want memes can just block it.
You can bridge the two now.
