I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

Something tells me that neither one of those communities are going anywhere anyway. No matter what tweaking is done to Lemmy. The one you mentioned is so dead you might as well have made another. There’s already Reddit themed communities that are meant for the same thing really as that’s all most of us want it to do is die.

Does this mean it’s time for /c/watchwatchredditdiedie?

Go for it, I'll subscribe. When that type of community takes off I'll know we've really gotten somewhere haha

Indeed, I mentioned this to OP as well in his post on [email protected] a few days ago

/r/watchredditdie is not going to migrate to /c/reddit communities that are mildly-anti-reddit at best and often have pro-reddit content. I'm hoping they'll be willing to migrate to a /c/watchredditdie one.

Still waiting for you to show us that pro-reddit content in those communities, last time you used an !asklemmy thread

Here you go https://sh.itjust.works/post/13700601. Most of the votes and comments are pro-reddit. And a user there also mentions another anti-reddit thread that the mods deleted for a pretty ridiculous reason.

A major reddit critic posts to lemmy and they get trolled or astroturfed, and their thread deleted.

Regardless, I've done what I can to try to get some communities to move to Lemmy, and they don't seem interested. So I think I give up for now.
