!strategygames@sopuli.xyz last post was 28 days ago, the mod hasn’t been active for 4 months, @Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world should we reach out to @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz to redirect the community to !strategy_games@piefed.world?
I’ve done this with a few other LemmyWorld communities I had and could be convinced to do the same here, however, it never works out quite well because you can’t properly redirect the old community to the new one on Lemmy. All you can do is post a sticky and hope people notice it, which means you’ll miss most of the users, or delete the community, which means it just goes poof and so users are unlikely to notice. It’s a problem that could use a better solution since the nature of the fediverse generates a lot of duplicate communities.
@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world and @Elevator7009@lemmy.zip have been the only posters on !strategy@lemmy.world for at least a month.
With both of them switching to !strategy_games@piefed.world, it’s unlikely that !strategy@lemmy.world will stay active.

In my experience, you don’t, I regularly see people telling me they found the new community thanks to the pinned post. That is usually people looking for an active community, stumbling upon the old one and finding the new one thanks to the pinned post.

For !strategy@lemmy.world , @sparky@lemmy.federate.cc what do you think?

I’ll gladly help, but we consider 4 months still bit fresh - mind trying to contact the mod of that community first?

I’m a bit surprised that 4 months is considered fresh, but sure
Hello @Profilename1@sopuli.xyz, Would you consider consolidating your community as explained above?

ok so I am a forgetful idiot and made a consolidation post two months ago and did absolutely squat with it, but you might want to check it anyways
