    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.

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

          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.

                    To be honest, neither Hexbear nor Lemmygrad has caused any noticable issues for lemm.ee. I recently compiled some stats for lemm.ee rule breakers by home instance, and as you can see in this post (in the “Administration” section), neither of those instances even made the top 10.

                    In general, mods haven’t complained about those two instances either, and the stats for community bans by independent community mods are more or less very similar. If any users creates issues in a lemm.ee community, then the community mods are free to just ban those users, regardless of what instance their account is hosted on.

                    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

                    Preventing such situations for lemm.ee mods is actually one of the many reasons we don’t want to use defederation as a moderation tool on lemm.ee - we rather use site bans etc. Too much collateral damage with defederation, especially when dealing with larger instances which probably have vastly more innocent users than problematic ones. We reserve defederation for more extreme cases, like spam instances & CSAM.

        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.

      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.
