Just start posting in !ps5@lemmy.world and be done with this whole migration thing. Posts in your new community will make it to c/all and people will participate and subscribe. !ps5@lemmy.ml is going to continue to exist with new mods and people will continue to post there, and there's really nothing you can do about that. That's just the nature of decentralized communities. Kind of like how c/asklemmy posts are split 50/50 between !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.
I appreciate the feedback, but considering that lemmy.ml is a FOSS focus instance and not a general purpose instance, I don't believe the admins are going to step in and prop it up like lemmy.world did when Android left for lemdro.id. PS5 doesn't really fit in that instance, but I could be wrong. For now, it's still my community, one that I build up over the course of weeks and weeks. It is important to me that I give subscribers a chance to see the change and migrate over. Closing the community abruptly in their face is not something I'm willing to do. If you follow the link to the original post you will see my plan for migration is just to cross post the weekly discussion threads with locked comments and directions on how to migrate to take part in the discussion.
With all that being said, feel free to unsubscribe from the old community and you won't have to see any migration related posts. I won't be posting any new migration related posts in the new community
I'm not subscribed to any communities. I'm seeing all these notices on c/all. This is like the 5th c/ps5 migration notice I've seen in the past two days. That's why I suggested to just start posting new threads in !ps5@lemmy.world and be done with it. Lemmy is still really small, so basically every thread has the potential to succeed in c/all, even for new communities that are still starting out. So !ps5@lemmy.world will grow very easily without having to have this big hoopla about migrations and whatnot.
But I'm afraid to say I don't think your idea is going to fly long term. While lemmy.ml advertises itself as a FOSS focused instance, if you browse local top day for it, you can see that in actuality it's a lot of memes and other more casual posts. And you're squatting on the ps5 name for lemmy.ml now, which could cause issues down the road.
You should either keep both communities active and be the mod of both, or seek out mods to replace you at !ps5@lemmy.ml.
It really depends on what instance you are on. Your all is different from mine. Only one of my posts made it to my all. So I'm sorry you are getting a lot of spam on this. I appreciate the feedback. Yesterday I cross posted the announcement a lot, and today I just posted it on the other community I mod (Nintendo) and once more on the community itself. After this weekend I'll be less vocal about it.
If they decide to take it back, then that's their decision. We will see what happens. For now, it isnt locked, so people can post there if they want, and I'm still the mod. So I'm not squatting, and I will be posting discussion threads there as well. I am just telling users that I will be posting to the new location, and since I post 99% of all content currently, I highly advise that people subscribe to the new location for the best experience.
Well, this is off topic, but c/all for all the popular instances are like 99% the same, save for the occasional obscure community in one of the instances that nobody else is subscribed to. You can confirm that yourself by opening up lemmy.world and sopuli.xyz in private tabs and selecting all with the same sort in both. But I should've also mentioned that I sort by the "top" sorts when I browse all. If you browse with hot or active, then it is a significantly different experience from the top sorts.
But alright, I won't pester you anymore. I apologize if I sounded angry too. I've been having issues with that recently that I'm trying to be more conscious of. I shouldn't have even made my original comment in here, now that I'm thinking of it. That was kind of poor forum etiquette. It's easy enough to just ignore the migration notices. So sorry about that haha. I wish you the best of luck with your communities, though.
That's a fair point on the sorting. I usually sort by hot, so that's probably why I didn't see the same thing as you. And yeah, it did come off as frustrated. But if you've seen 5-6 posts I can see the need to tell me to chill 😂. I'm always happy to talk things out. Glad we are ending this on a positive note. Thanks for the well wishes! Same to you!
