I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community
I think it is very well explained. You don’t need to go to other instance to follow them.
They are just merging with another community for convenience.
I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.
Also, you can create your own community in any instance you want.
Send me a link please. I’m kinda slow learning lemmy.
“I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.”
first off I’m not? I’m just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone’s input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.
Second, it’s not convenient to just close a community without anyone’s knowledge and punish the users who don’t want to move so suddenly.
“I’m not upset, I’m just using the same words upset people use”
You don’t have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.
Part of the beauty of Lemmy is fracturing intentionally into smaller instances. The content is no less accessable to people who want it, and it’ll hopefully provide a better, more reliable experience by being off lemmy.world on a smaller instance.
I believe many are trying to help reduce the load in lemmy.world, where most new users (including myself) started.
Kinda just sounded like Lemdroid was a better fit for them. I’m already subscribed, the fediverse is awesome.
I don’t agree with their decision but I understand their reasons. Probably the new instance is more suitable for the community, however they were growing in one of the biggest Lemmy instances. I think the best they could’ve done was to ask the community. Despite of that, I expect the android community to continue growing as it was before moving.
I can understand that instead of the others commenting, but I don’t really agree with the idea of them arbitrarily deciding they can do whatever they want with the community and punish the users who weren’t aware of that and don’t want to move and or check to another place.
Seems a bit barbaric and awkwardtheturtle esk imo to just do a bunch of stuff without asking the community if they’d like to switch, they just decided “no we’re going to close and you’re gonna like it” essentially lol
Maybe Lemmy isn’t for you.

If you don’t like the way they run their community, you’re free to start your own or even your own instance, that’s the beauty of federation
“we’re keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers.”
ah yes because locking the entire community without anyone’s knowledge and consent first isn’t totally insane and like a certain other platform we left from
They don’t owe you anything. Their reasons are very clear. Feel free to subscribe to the other channel.
