It went pretty well, we are now established on !casualconversation, the activity level seems similar. If we lost people in the process, they were probably not using Lemmy that much anymore, and where probably “ghost subscribers” of the previous community.
By the way, feel to have a look at !fedigrow, you seem to be an active poster, it would be nice to have your opinion on a few topics
I just had a look, unfortunately aussie.zone isn’t federating the community yet, but you can have a look at the discussions here: lemm.ee/c/fedigrow
FYI, this community will be locked tomorrow, feel free to recreate this post on the new community !casualconversation. Of course, you don’t have too if you think the topic has been discussed enough.
Basically, create a new one one the new instance, and tell everyone to move there.
Posts will be kept on the old community, but due to the nature of this community, it shouldn’t be an issue. People are mostly busy with current topics, I don’t really see people coming back often to old posts about what everyone was doing on their week-end a few months ago.
