Comment on Community cleanup

I realize that lemmit.online is reviled for creating noise with high traffic subreddit reposts, but I want to supply another perspective. My city subreddit is one of the communities you’ve disabled already. It’s a small city, with few subscribers on Reddit. There is no Lemmy community for my city, and no one even posts to the Lemmy community which exists for my state. So, no, I’m not going to create a Lemmy community to talk to myself. The loss of the lemmit.online community for my city means that I’ll need to use Reddit, and if I’m going to be there anyway then I might as well just give up on Lemmy rather than have to use both.

No problem, as far as I’m concerned, all suspensions are negotiable. Which one was it? I’ll re-enable it straight away.

Thanks. It’s lemmit.online/c/Boise. IMHO The tiny subreddits with very few posts that don’t cause front page Lemmy noise are the most important to retain, because Lemmy does not yet have the userbase yet to support its own niche communities.

Voila:

I understand your argument, and fully agree. There’s over 800 communities that I have to check though, so mistakes will be made.

Totally understand, and thank you. I’m frustrated with the folks attacking lemmit.online, not you for providing the service. Much appreciated.
