Regarding sublinks and feeling concerned about what is going on with it (lemmy.world)

Right now, I’m feeling concerned and wondering what is going on in regards to Sublinks here, since I have created a community for discussion on koalas about a week ago on here and have started and been doing work on it recently. But now I’m hearing about Sublinks and feeling concerned if I created it on the wrong instance or...

Here is your community viewed from Mbin: kbin.run/m/koalawallawoods@lemmy.world

As you can see, posts are there, it’s possible to comment as well.

It will be the same for Sublinks

Yes

create another post to redirect people to the new community (probably locking the previous community temporarily to ensure that people would go to the new one) on the new instance

Definitely!

To be fair, it’s another level on Reddit compared to here

Don’t lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works have a very low number of defederations?

I also do not personally believe in yet another slicing of the communities into different platforms, and if Sublinks aren’t integrated into Lemmy - requiring new communities or separate accounts - I will not be following along. Of course, somebody else could always take over my communities in that event, but I just wanted to let out my opinion on this.

Sublinks would work th same way as Mbin does. People on Mbin can currently interact with all the Lemmy content in a similar way Lemmy users do.

The reason this effort didn’t work and most of these communities reverted back was the extreme fragmentation and confusing nature of the early Fediverse.

To be fair, when the migration happened, Lemmy wasn’t ready. Federation was still flimsy, and LW was under constant DDoS attack. Lemmy is in a much better state now.

This. I feel like a broken record repeating this over and over again.

Maybe we should start !fediversmemes and post about it in meme form, it might get the message further

The old account is still there if you need to refer to a previous comment.

You “reputation” (in “people recognizing you in comments”) can be the same if you keep the same name and avatar.

There are no karma requirements anywhere on Lemmy.

The one I get is moderators that don’t want to move their communties, but for individual accounts, there isn’t much to lose (and trust me, I have around a dozen alts)
