There are two fairly active communities with almost identical topics:

The community on ml is named "crows" but its scope includes "crows, ravens, and other corvids".

Taking into account the community names, overlapping topics, instance size, and other issues with ml, might we consider consolidating towards sopuli.xyz?

Paging !corvids@sopuli.xyz moderator @johan_kontant@sopuli.xyz.

How would you feel about a potential influx of posters and commenters? Would you be open to adding Mechanismatic to the mod team?

Also paging recent contributor @cm0002@lemmy.world for their thoughts.

Paging !crows@lemmy.ml moderator @Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml. I think I messaged you a few days ago, but I'm not sure if it federated.

Would you be open to consolidating this community with !corvids@sopuli.xyz?

Also paging recent contributors @I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world, @Morph9@lemmy.zip, @NightCreature@lemmy.world, and @Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone for their thoughts.

I am neutral and will post wherever is most active

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for your input!

I would just like to note that using the algorithm of "posting wherever is most active" will usually result in consolidating to the largest instance, which is not ideal for the health of the fediverse as a whole.

While true, nobody really wants to post to a dead community either, you know? Sort of a self-perpetuating problem.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

True, though sometimes all it takes to grow a community is one or two users posting consistently. And in this case, both communities have a similar level of activity.

@Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml

Not sure if you've seen this yet. We would appreciate your input.

@Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml

Multiple people have now pinged you in this thread. We would be interested in hearing your perspective on this.

I support any comm moving off .ml due to their ongoing behavior

lol at people still remembering this :D

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What is it? I'm missing that reference 😄

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

Do a web search for "jackdaw is a crow". 😉

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yup, lets move it all to sopuli.xyz.
