I'm sure we'd all love for the coffee community to migrate here, but no one is posting any content.
So here's another photo of my latest latte art attempt.
As far as migration, the r/coffee community is still figuring it's shit out - we'll be going through a weighing responses in the future direction thread middle/later this week, and it'll take some time to implement any outcomes. If the community is indicating migration and if kbin is selected, both of those take time and it will still be a solid interval for people to move over after that - while people will still continue showing up to the reddit community because it has compounding incumbency advantage.
The community did fairly clearly vote for migration - the announcement went up this morning. If I was asked to pick a destination myself tomorrow, this is where I'd point them.
However - I wish it was that simple.
There's going to be some consultation and some more vetting of alternatives, as well as some inevitable longer process of finding ways to make the new space more appealing or alluring so that there's a reason for people to move over. We can't make that community hostile and drive people out, breeding resentment of the new space in advance won't have productive outcomes.
So much of the demographic over there is in that specific space because everyone else is also in that space, and so creating the sort of critical mass momentum that would migrate the community will probably be a lengthy project.
