And I'm just going to copy paste what I put in another posts about crossposts

My personal stance on this is that

If rules, moderation policies and admin policies are similar, there should only be one community on a single topic while we have a userbase below 100k

This allows for !politics@lemmy.world and !politics@hexbear.net to coexist, as there is a reason for them to (different moderation policies). It's similar for !climate@slrpnk.net and !climatehope@lemmy.world, as those communities have different principles and perspectives on their topic.

This suggests to consolidate communities like !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemm.ee

Another recent example is

These three communities have similar rules, similar moderation and admin policies. They should be consolidated. And I know this is a very controversial topic, but I made a longer post recently on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for people interested.

In summary, my main argument is that

  • even though subscribers can potentially subscribe to all communities on a topic
  • posters are only going to post to one community, because they want the conversation to happen with the most people in one place, which is not the case if you crosspost as the comments gets splintered across the different communities

To take a recent example

As a member of both communities, I find it a pain to have two similar communities even more so when both post the exact same content because it creates more noise in my feed and because it forces me to waste my time and energy deciding where I will read said duplicated content and maybe post a comment. The solution is obvious: I will unsubscribe from one (for the time being, I still follow the two communities).

There is a natural tendency of "one community emerges as the main one" on several topics

If one community does not emerge as the main one, it's usually because two or more regular posters maintain both communities active by posting to their preferred community.

So, my suggestions are to consolidate similar communities. This single decision will not make this platform similar to Reddit. On Reddit, you had no way to complain about power tripping mods, there were no public modlogs, and discourse criticizing the mods or the admins would get silenced.

Here, we have !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and recent examples have shown that the community can actually resist power tripping: https://feddit.org/post/7025680/4263481.

If the mods of the consolidated community start to power trip, document this on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and reorganize on the alternative communities. If not, stay on that one community, to foster more active conversations and posts.

That's the theory we encourage on !fedigrow@lemm.ee, feel free to join us there to discuss this further.

You need to ask mods of the new communities to configure them to only allow their target language.

Most of the communities on jlai.lu only allow French.

At least the !BuyFromEU@europe.pub admin said they would contact the mods of !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, hopefully some consolidation can happen: https://europe.pub/post/514

There are some amazing sneaker brands from Europe. Few of them are :

Adidas (Germany), Puma (Germany), VEJA (France), Salomon (France), Diadora (Italy), Karhu (Finland), Gola (United Kingdom), Superga (Italy), Hummel (Denmark), Munich (Spain)

Adidas and puma is obviously my fav but there are many others.

Please share your fav European brand for our sneaker heads :)

What European email services do you use?

Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.

I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Seems like the admins would be open for cooperation https://feddit.nl/post/30482662/16071294

Seems great!

You may want to maybe start a dedicated community and/or Matrix space, it might be easier to organize than here

Nice!

Would you consider adding more mods to existing communities like !BuyFromEU@europe.pub ? !buyeuropean@feddit.uk is already here, maybe that mod team can help the europe.pub community?

Doesn't seem enrolled as I had to manually fetch the comment above

Net withdrawals from North American and US funds totalled SEK 13.7 billion, banks and households combined. This is the highest figure since 2010, when data started to be collected.

At the same time, net deposits in Swedish funds totalled SEK 22.7 billion - another record high, according to TT.

  • ‘It is clear that Swedish households have reacted strongly to the new US administration's turbulent policies, which so far have included trade wars and actions that have turned a lot of what we previously took for granted upside down,’ says Stefan Westerberg, private economist at Länsförsäkringar, which has compiled the total equity fund savings in Sweden, both among private savers and banks, during February.
