The !feminism@beehaw.org community has long since become the largest Lemmy community. In acknowledgement of that, I have decided in consultation with @Gaywallet@beehaw.org to lock this community and redirect.

Personally, I am male and only took on the mod post to make sure Lemmy had a feminism community in the early days of Lemmy, so I’m happy to cede the title to a more vibrant community. If someone wishes to attempt to revive the lemmy.ml community, please get in contact.

    Beehaw defederates too much though. ML is like the central hub. I like Beehaw a lot, and have an account there, but it lacks the broader user base of Lemmy as a whole because of the lack of federation. They need to open to the other major instances IMO. They are great people, and I wish we could all connect freely again. Lemmy as a whole is not much larger than it was when they defederated with dot world. I haven’t been over there in like 6 months, but I miss it.

      I keep forgetting beehaw is a thing. I don’t see anything from them anymore since they defederated. If the community is regularly griefed and brigaded by misogynists. Something I have really no clue about I’m not a regular visitor. I just saw this trending. So correct me if I’m wrong. Moving to some place like beehaw could possibly make sense. It’s a much more isolated safe space environment. But honestly everyone should be feminist. There’s no good reason not to be. Unless you’re ignorant of what it is. And it would be a shame to see less advocacy for it on General instances.

      You have a good point, there is a downside given how much beehaw defederates common instances. I am open to either:

      • Point to both !feminism@beehaw.org and !feminism@lemmy.world
      • Pass off the mod responsibilities for this community to multiple people with the time and interest in reviving it, with preference going to female identifying people.

      Other suggestions are welcome, of course.

        Must be, I only see 109. That’s interesting, it’s not the kind of thing I would have expected to be impacted by defederation. It should just be an outgoing statistic. Though now that I’m looking more closely and comparing to in a browser, it looks like the disconnect has been more thorough than I thought in a few ways.

    Just a gentle reminder that you don’t have final say in that.

    The folks that run the instance do. Afaik, they don’t usually interfere with such things, but a dead C/ is likely to eventually get their attention in one way or another. Might want to drop them a message and see what they say before making any major decisions about what to do with this C/, regardless of what else happens.

    Also, beehaw isn’t really lemmy. They dabble in it. You’d very much want to redirect elsewhere in terms of consolidating communities (which isn’t actually a great thing tbh).
