Hello everyone,

As you may have noticed, I’m trying to revive this community. However, I noticed that is actually overlaps quite a lot with [email protected]

Do you think we should move there, so that we can have more content and activity on one place?

The hardest part to get a community started is now, when you need to build traction, and I think it makes sense to use the larger userbase of !general (10k subs vs 4k here)

Let me know what you think!

    Couple of thoughts:

    Casual Conversation was a nice community on reddit and it might make it easier for people coming from reddit to find familiar communities in Lemmy. But your point about activity is good, makes it easier to come to lemmy if you see more activity.

    As I understood [email protected] can have also serious and controversial topics and it has way more posts with links, while here the emphasis on posts is to make a text post.

    Not for or against merging to general, just adding my thoughts :)

    Edit: clarification and typo fix.

      Very good points!

      To be honest I have no strong opinion on this, both situation can work. I guess if we keep CasualConversation active, we’ll have to promote it more to gain the critical mass to get regular activity.

      I might also switch to a daily thread as weekly threads tend to be buried under new content (most of the users don’t use “New comments” I assume)

        Thanks!

        Same, I’m open to anything basically. Enjoying lemmy :)

        Now is a good time to try out things, maybe daily threads work better for some people?

        And good point! I also sadly forget to check new comments…
