I am not sure how to proceed, to be honest.
I had a small community, [email protected] (see lemmy.world cache). It had its issues, like low # of posts and comments made by anyone but me, but I could see people starting engaging bit by bit and if I was to write more, the community would be able to compete with its kbin counterpart. Aaaand bam.
Now I'm thinking of where I could move to. [email protected] is semi-dead and is run by a person who I believe to be a squatter who had occupied a lot of communities and called them "placeholders until the reddit mods evacuate". If I am correct, then I'm not sure if I really like the idea of participating in a community run by a squatter.
Probably I should settle somewhere else.
If the community is run by a proven squatter who is inactive I believe the admins can be contacted to transfer control.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected])).
