Imo I feel like given the size of the community there is too much segregation. All these android related topics should all just be in /c/android until we reach a critical mass that more organization is required. No one will bother to subscribe to all of those with 0 engagement… And plz don’t delete posts we are so small here! As long as it isn’t spam I’m ok with questions etc. here. The rules shouldn’t be the same as reddit as the community isn’t the same (at least not yet).

Totally agree.

Day after day the mods delete questions and force users over to askandroid, a community with only ~250 subs and 8 active users a day.

The main community had about 10 new posts within the last 24hrs. A few questions would not hurt at all (5 within the last 24hrs)

We unfortunately don’t have the ability to tag posts on Lemmy, which would allow people who don’t want to see certain content to filter them out. Similar to memes (which we posted a discussion thread about), there tends to be a love it or hate it opinion on specific questions.

There are pluses and minuses to each approach, but Separating it out means folks can choose whether to subscribe to one or both - with them appearing together from the subscribed view.

I’d also just flag that viewing a community subscriber count from a different instance will only show you the number of folks subscribed from your same instance.

For example, [email protected] has the following: .

I do understand wanting more eyes on any particular question, but it can often be better if the folks seeing the post are the ones who have intentionally subscribed for that content.

[META] Community Vote: Memes - Lemdro.id

Hi all! Welcome to everyone who has moved (and hello to those who have joined prior)! As we move from Reddit to Lemmy and simultaneously read your feedback (we do!), we will be re-evaluating some of our rules to make it less strict of a community. **Question: How often do you want memes here at c/Android? ** Please upvote the comment that you prefer, do not downvote the other options. Thanks :)

The metrics I quoted may not be precise, but they are still representative. How many more subs does android have on your instance compared to askandroid?

That aside: Just look at the post & engagement numbers!

My argument is that, at the moment, the community is too small for so many specific sub-communitites. And this approach sends users into oblivion.

Most of the deleted questions aren’t even reposted in the other sub, and if they are get way less responses.

Yeah, I definitely didn’t mean it as a rebuttal of any kind. It’s just an observation I recently shared with some mods who weren’t sure if things were bugged out or not. One of the many Lemmy oddities!

I do know there are folks who would actively unsubscribe from [email protected] if it were loosened up, but I do take your point. I’m checking in with fellow mods (time zones are tricky) but we will likely be posting up a discussion thread to seek community feedback sometime soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
