57k active users on Lemmy, Casual Conversation seems a pretty common topic, and still there aren't that many people around here.

I posted on [email protected] , we are probably the most populous community with this name.

Maybe it's because LemmyWorld communities do not appear on Lemmyverse.net any more?

What do you think could be the issue?

That's great, you are now a mod!

I was indeed thinking about finding another place where everyone could meet (such as lemm.ee, which is still federated with most of the people, or reddthat.com), but we can probably still wait a few this before moving

Thanks!

I saw you were looking at discuss.online as well, which also makes sense to me.

Just be aware that you will lose a chunk of subscribers by moving to another server, no matter how many announcements you make. That being said, better to make the move sooner than later, if you're going to do it.

Also, although I do think hexbear users are often funny and positive contributors, they're not particularly well suited for casual conversation. Despite wanting to be federated with that server, it's also nice to have the option of spaces where I don't have to worry about being called a reactionary lib when I'm just trying to make polite conversation. Just something to think about. Lemmy.world's aggressive defederation policies are actually a benefit when it comes to a community such as this, imho.

That's a good point. I guess we should probably ask the community what they prefer. I'll open a thread about this later today
