!mapporn@lemmy.world has been locked down in favor of !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz
!starwars@lemmy.world was locked down today in favor of !star_wars@lemmy.world
Are there other communities we should try to consolidate?
Wish Star Wars had its own instance like Star Trek, or at the very least wasn’t on world.
As an aside, I also wish this community had an icon, I subconsciously ignore communities without icons.
I mean they’re the same thing anyways. When Spock and Chewbacca raided those tombs from the Nazis with Han Solo, it really forced Darth Vader to admit to everyone that he was HAL 3000’s father. To which HAL 3000 replied “I’m sorry father, I won’t let you do that!”
And then they blew up the sealab 2021.
That’s the cool thing about the fediverse. Anyone can set up a new server at any point in time and host their content. No one is being stopped from doing that.
Oh… Don’t want to pay for money to set up and instance? Oh…. Don’t want to spend the time administering an instance? Oh… one may exist, but it’s not that popular so no one uses it?

It’s fine for now. Hopefully it will change in the future, but let’s see.
@Emperor@feddit.uk initiated a discussion about a StarWars instance, but it got removed by the mod for being off-topic.
About the icon, it is now fixed, might take some time to federate: https://lemm.ee/c/fedigrow

I did indeed and I have that and two other posts drafted for !fedigrow@lemm.ee (delayed because of work and improving my crafting flow on here). I hope to get one or two off tomorrow.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fedigrow@lemm.ee
Where was that discussion? How can a meta discussion about the community’s future be considered off-topic? 🙃
PS. Good icon.
Look at the modlog, happened a month ago: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1209
How can a meta discussion about the community’s future be considered off-topic? 🙃
Had that happen plenty of times on other communities unfortunately…
It came up in our previous discussion on Star Wars communities:
- !swgalaxyofheroes@lemmy.world - active
- !swgoh@lemmy.world - inactive
Both this duplication and the Star Wars ones seemed to happen because the original Mods became inactive and there isn’t an easy way to add in new Mods and/or a reluctance to meddle with someone else’s community (I’ve added plenty of new Mods on feddit.uk so it is doable where there’s enthusiasm).
I suspect some digging would uncover other examples on l.w (as it’s the largest instance) especially as you see a lot of communities started during the enthusiasm of Rexit and then the Mods wandered off and have been MIA for 7-10 months.
Did you try pinging kersploosh@lemmy.world on the inactive community? They locked the two ones I mentioned above so it’s probably worth a try
I have that, we did discuss it with an l.w Admin the other month, so I presume it’s on their radar.
Feel free to remind it to them, sometimes this kind of things fall off the radar
Randomly discussed “privacy” with @ptz@dubvee.org
!privacyguides@lemmy.one seems to be the main one.
!privacy@lemmy.ml is quite active, but people are trying to move from there (see discussions on !fediverse@lemmy.world )
Other active options:
Maybe we should ping the mods and see if they can all agree one on that should be “the one”?
Thank fuck. The -*porn suffix really should have been left behind.
It is both consolidation and decentralization.
Consolidation because !mapporn@lemmy.world has been locked down in favor of !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz, and decentralization because sopuli.xyz is smaller than lemmy.world.
