As some of you may know, !wholesome@reddthat.com is now more active than this community. Reddthat is a nice instance, and having the community there allows us to spread the communities across the different instances.
As it is usually easier for people to subscribe to only community, we are thinking about creating a pinned post here, pointing to !wholesome@reddthat.com, and lock the community.
If needed, the community can always be unlocked in the future.
Examples of other communities doing the same
I’ve no issue with pinning a post & pointing to another community, but don’t lock this one. It feels antithetical to the idea of the fediverse.
In her defense, Lady Butterfly is the only one who has been willing to step up to moderate this community, and she is well within her rights to leave anytime she wishes, at which point locking the community becomes the only responsible thing left to do? You can’t just leave a community unmoderated - it would instantly become a source for spam that would be spread across the entire Fediverse, as unfortunately happened with many Kbin communities when Ernst fell ill, to the point where people had to defederate from the entire instance to avoid it.
So for her to not lock this community, someone would have to be willing to step up and do additional work, which so far nobody has.

If the reason to lock this community is you not wanting to moderate it anymore, I can do that. Already keeping an eye on a few mostly-inactive comms and log in pretty regularly.
Thanks so much for the offer! I can moderate it it’s not an issue
Alright :)
Please do keep posting wholesome & cozy content, it really does lift the spirits a bit
Absolutely I will, glad it’s helping 😊
How is Lemmy respecting the idea of the Fediverse when more than 90% of the active communities are on one instance? https://piefed.zip/communities?search=&home_select=any&subscribe_select=any&topic_id=0&feed_id=0&language_id=0&instance=&sort_by=active_weekly+desc
Way to completely miss their point
