Comment on we need more users
moopet@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoPruning is a bad idea imo. Old communities here (like on reddit) can be great resources for solutions to technical problems, for example. And weird one-off communities that have like 2 memes from a decade ago can be really funny when you get linked to them.
Perhaps a notification-type nag, a tab of “communities you used to use but haven’t posted to for a while” but with a snappier title, alongside “local” and “all”.
Just to give you an example, I help mod a community called !askusa@discuss.online where we wanted to open up a space to discuss topics of interest to people in the USA, yet remain a safe space away from politics.
What then is there for us to talk about, these days, that does not involve politics?!?!? (this btw was the topic of my 2nd-to-last post, six months ago now)
I do not need a nagging reminder to help me realize what is happening here… :-(

and now PieFed supports moving posts! piefed.social/…/piefed-1-5-is-released-move-posts…
So Piefed admins/mods could consolidate communities by moving the posts before deleting the community
