Yeah, like I said via Beeper/Matrix

Yeah I totally get ya, and I’m just chiming in with what I’ve seen before and the best people to ask are the subscribers themselves.

Not me a lazy ass mod that doesn’t do anything because to be honest this Fediverse shit is cool compared to weddit or even Colesy and the admins

Just my 2¢

Yoinking a community is never fun. I’ve seen that before.

Booooo, I don’t see no upvotes 😆

Engagement is key ;)

Agreed, and kinda confused why askandroid would need locking because of a FDroid community 🤔

The thing that gets me is I came across forums for Android just before Digg shit the bed, and migrated to /r/Android where things were all cozy with ~1K-25K members.

But as always the Help Vampires took hold, and it wasn’t until the mods realised that peeps submitting screenshots of their battery stats / problems / or some new feature that is limited to an OEM or whatever, they had to then have a clear set of rules and sister communities such as /r/AndroidQuestions / AndroidApps.

Even r/acj (RIP 😖).

I worry even if the numbers are small now, if we consolidate things into a bucket we’re likely to end up in the same situation again having to redirect the noise so to speak and going round in circles reopening it 🤷‍♀️
