Right now on Lemmy we have a bunch of dad-based communities with varying levels of discussion. From the ones I can find, we have:

[email protected] - last few posts were about a month ago. Mod was last active 10 months ago.

[email protected] - last couple posts were about 2 months ago. The post before that was about 5 months ago. Not sure about mod activity.

[email protected] - last post was yesterday, with some other posts in past few weeks. Mod was last active 6 months ago.

[email protected] - last post was a few weeks ago, with a couple months in between posts after that. Mod was last active 10 months ago.

[email protected] - last couple posts were a week ago. With about a month or so between posts after that. Both mods were last active a year ago.

[email protected] - last post was 3 months ago. Mod was last active 2 months ago.

[email protected] - last post was about a month ago, and the one before that was about 4 months ago. Mod was last active today.

To help facilitate discussion, what do you all think about consolidating the dad-based discussion to one of those groups (preferably a somewhat moderated one, which just seems to be fatherverse…) for now?

    I see where you come from.

    That’s why I try to keep both [email protected] and [email protected] active, while they have more or less the same topics.

    Some communities are made to be “Internet inclusive”, some other are more “location grounded”

    I guess sometimes the Lemmy population is not large enough to have “location grounded” communities, so it might be better to merge into the “all inclusive” one

    Last point: as a non-native European, I never really paid attention to the English-speaking social media being very US-centric, hopefully that’s a bias we can correct here on Lemmy.

    Lemmy.world is the biggest instance and managed by a team located (at least partially) in the Netherlands, so that’s a nice change compared to Reddit

      I’m working on it. And there are Canadian and Australian instances doing their bit too.
