I’ve been kicking around the idea for a while of moving to another instance for a while for two reasons:

  1. We’re primarily on lemmy.ca because there was already a skeleton community here (around 80 subscribers pre-July migration)
  2. I believe that whose local feed we’re on has a significant impact on the overall tenor and level of interaction here.

This post is definitely not intended to suggest we’ve had any issues with lemmy.ca, but it always seemed like an odd fit. So my question to y’all is this: If you could choose any instance to have an outsized effect on this community, which would it be?

    I enjoy a lot of communities on lemmy.world, but I’d recommend against moving a community into it. Centralizing more communities there doesn’t feel productive, and I don’t think it would help with user numbers.

    If you do want to move, slrpnk is cool and I think this community could succeed there. Personally, I think the best solution would be to promote this community around the Fediverse regardless of if you stay on this instance or move to another one. Places like !communityPromo@lemmy.ca and the other ones listed here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032.

    Thanks for thinking about these things and for working on the community!
