I'm a reddit old-timer but a relative Lemmy noob. I created a community called "electionmethods", and then realized that I wanted the name to be "election-methods". I tried deleting the community in an attempt to start over, but the old community remains. I then decided to wait, and hope that the deleted "electionmethods" went away so that I could start clean. I want it to be renamed "election-methods", since I've been running a mailing list since 1996 called the "election-methods mailing list", and I'm hoping to encourage the members of the list to use Lemmy. How do I rename "electionmethods" to "election-methods"? As a bonus, I would love it if "electionmethods" redirect to "election-methods".
I've been looking for an alternative to Facebook that I could recommend to non-tech-savvy relatives, but I haven't been coming up with many compelling options. I posted on DailyKos ("Alternatives to the 'F-word'?"), but it seems that BlueSky was the only popular option (which is really designed to be an alternative to Twitter rather than Facebook). Do y'all think that BlueSky will become a bona fide alternative to Facebook before the mainstream public gets religion regarding the Fediverse?
