Basically, title.
I randomly stumbled upon !ich_iel@feddit.org, which seems to be the new home of the former !ich_iel@feddit.de (they even added a last meme on the latter: https://feddit.org/post/22759)
I also had a look at https://feddit.org/c/main but my German is very basic, the most interesting topic seems to be a tutorial on how to migrate accounts from feddit.de to feddit.org
Are we planning to do the same?
I specifically voted for feddit.org with this community in mind during the name poll, because it was more international sounding than the other options.
If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.
I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.
So from that I gather that you personally do not have an interest in moving the community over to it.
I would much rather someone else takes over moderation, yes. Both because of various federated moderation bugs in Lemmy making it hard to moderate a community that isn’t on your home instance and because I have way to many communities that I moderate already.
If needed, I would be willing to help with moderation, but not be the main moderator of such a new community.
To be honest, I didn’t volunteer because it’s a news community with a large audience. Debates can get nasty, and that’s something I try to avoid.
I guess a lot of other people are in the same case, and why you were the only mod here
/r/europe became pretty much a Nazi cesspool and I feel on the fediverse it could quickly become a Tankie cesspool. I personally would not have nerves for that either. Would be sad to see this community die if the instance inevitably vanishes though.
The tankie cesspool is probably !europe@lemmy.ml
Hopefully there will be some people willing to moderate !europe@feddit.org, or !europe@lemm.ee, it doesn’t matter that much in the end
To be fair, the whole sidebar of feddit.org is in German, and specifically mentions being German speaking
It’s presumably mostly taken from the original feddit.de instance. Maybe something to talk to the admins about. Personally I think a European instance makes more sense than a purely German one.
@admin@feddit.org, @BurningTurtle@feddit.org @Ranslite@feddit.org @surprised_pikachu@feddit.org, what do you think?
Is feddit.org a good place for an English speaking !Europe community, or do you prefer to keep the instance German speaking?
I’m an admin. You’re welcome to migrate over to us.
Thank you for your feedback! @poVoq@slrpnk.net FYI
thanks for bringing this up, we’ll discuss this in the team and provide an answer soon
Danke!
I doubt they took that from the feddit.de sidebar
Hi, i am the one who wrote the sidebar. Yes i took the text from feddit.de as a template.
Thanks for the explanation
I clearly meant the standard issue text below that… But since you’re apparently here to look for pedantic arguments I’m gonna end it here anyway now.
Sorry if I came up as pedantic, I thought you hadn’t seen that sentence
