Follow up from https://lemm.ee/post/57999596 and https://lemm.ee/post/58201093 and

See https://lemmy.world/c/football for an example of what we would like to do.

The moderation team would stay the same. We’ll keep a pinned post here to say we are moving.

We’ll promote it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Impact for people here would be minimal. We can even ping regular posters and commenters like https://lemmy.world/post/24312613

We can always revisit later if needed.

You can vote below about this decision. We’ll see what the decision is in 24h hours.

Vote extended to Monday evening US time. We can then discuss what we want to do then.

      Close a community with 2,500 subscribers in favor of one with 69 in the name of properly branding? To me, why not embrace the most active, worts and all.

      No need to rush this process either. The time table so far has seemed rather accelerated. Give time for casual people to weigh in.

        Subscribers don’t really mean much if there is no activity. As we can see from this poll, there has only been 36 votes so far.

        Most of the people have already moved to !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, which has 2k users per month compared to 531 here.

        How long would you like to keep the poll open? We can at least keep it for 48 hours and review later, I’ll edit the post.

        Edit: active users this week
