@[email protected] created [email protected] to synchronize efforts to promote the Fediverse on existing social media (e.g. that Reddit thread on /r/Technology which got a few people joining Lemmy)

Spaduf wasn't aware of the existence of [email protected] , which is an existing community focused on the internal growt on the Fediverse, mostly between mods and regular posters trying to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed communitied grow.

To avoid confusion between the two communities, we are thinking about a potential new community to replace [email protected], but with a different name.

Potential options we came up with:

What do you all think? Do you have any other ideas for the name of that new community?

Edit to clarify as it seems it wasn't as obvious in the post: the objective is to keep [email protected] with its current focus: growth of communities already here (so more internal), while the new community would be about advocacy and promotion of the Fediverse on other places (so more external).

Having two communities seems better as people busy with keeping their communities active aren't automatically interested in promoting the Fediverse externally, and vice versa.

I would say it's a different type of growth. A topic that regularly comes up is consolidation of similar communities (the most recent example being [email protected] as the suggested alternative to [email protected] [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] etc.)

So it's a type of growth, but more internal than external.
