      The issue is more about still another new community on LW while the existing SJW could have just been reused

        I understand this point as well. This community was created as a result of several requests in !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world from people who were unable to locate the alternative. I did not see !furiouslyinfuriating@sh.itjust.works suggested or promoted in that community, and I did not find it when I searched. Unfortunately we all know that the search built into Lemmy is not great.

        Hopefully this new community will also raise the profile of the SJW one. I have included the link in the sidebar so that more people can find it. If this community proves unnecessary, I will happily close it and merge with the SJW one.

        I appreciate the work you do in helping to keep the fediverse distributed. It is truly our greatest strength.

            I wish the conversation happened before creating the community, but I don’t agree that locking a community immediately after creating it is the best way to build a resilient platform. Unless there is some kind of automatic link forwarding that I’m not aware of. I’m making assumptions about what “Redirect” means based on my knowledge.

            Is this the best account to reach you by pm?

              That community is 3 days old, it had 11 posts, it’s still very reasonable to create a meta post about it and point people to the SJW

              Unless there is some kind of automatic link forwarding that I’m not aware of. I’m making assumptions about what “Redirect” means based on my knowledge.

              If you lock the community and pin the post to the SJW one willing to post will just follow that post to the SJW community

              There is a fancier version like what @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev did on !football@lemmy.world

              • ping everyone who ever commented on the old community using a script
              • configure a bot to lock every new post and redirect them to the new community

              But the last point probably overkill for a community that’s 3 days old.

              And for the first one, it can be done manually too

              Yes, this one or Matrix

          You created the new community yesterday, it’s still time to lock it and redirect to the SJW one?

          I appreciate the work you do in helping to keep the fediverse distributed.

          To be fair the more I look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active the more I feel it’s a daunting task. And new communities like this one not being opened on other instances does not help.
