!CasualEurope@piefed.social, a community with a name more clear and using Piefed features (lemm.ee)

!casualeurope@piefed.social

When this community was started, the idea was to have a !casualconversation@lemm.ee version, but focused on Europe. Yurop was selected as a name to show that it was less serious, but it seems like it still gets associated with https://old.reddit.com/r/YUROP/ , which is more about making memes about the Europeans news than casual conversation.

I have recently opened !casualeurope@piefed.social to solve this. Feel free to join us there, there is already some conversation going!

Where will content be posted now?

I will personally post content on the new community. Piefed has some nice features that can be used, so it's a good opportunity.

What will happen to !yurop@lemm.ee?

Not sure yet, but as the community wasn't that active, it will probably just become inactive. I could also lock it to push people to the new community, but that probably won't be necessary at first.

Feel free if you have any questions

!casualuk@feddit.uk is the 5th most active community of that instance, so I'm not sure it's too ironic for them

Have a nice day too!

It's because everyone just copies the R-site and whatever else comes from across the pond. Like the obedient little supplicants of our cultural overlords that we all are!

But yes, fair enough.
