    This English speaking “[email protected]” was always a bit out of place on a primarily German speaking instance. The same would be true for feddit.org, I guess. Maybe we should just depreciate this community and see if another English speaking Europe community takes over? As long as it isn’t the one on lemmy.ml (which has major moderation issues), I think I would be fine with that. I only stepped up moderating it on feddit.de because it was very active at the time and the previous mod stepped down.

      I specifically voted for feddit.org with this community in mind during the name poll, because it was more international sounding than the other options.

        If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.

        I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.

      This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

        I agree. This one is definitely the most active one.

        @[email protected], maybe lemm.ee can be an option? The .ee domain name suggests its’ European, and all of the communities are English-speaking.

          You can pin a message to a new one, and lock the old one down, that works for most of the people

            In that case mods should do that ASAP, to give enough time to people to notice it before the server shuts down.

            Also should probably create the new community, lemm.ee doesn’t seem to have one already.

                  The community on lemmy.ml has the problem that there are some very persistent users that constantly post pro-Russian propaganda or similar mis-information to it, and the lemmy.ml admins refuse to appoint a new mod and seem to be generally fine with that. I certainly wouldn’t want to moderate a similar community where Hexbear and Lemmygrad users have full access to like they would on lemm.ee. if fact I wouldn’t even be able to as my home instance is defederated from these instances and thus such posts would be invisible to me.

    The size of this community alone shows the need for it. That said, feddit.org seems like a good new home for it since .org is a language neutral tld and the server is german AND English speaking after all.
