The PlayStation 5 community over on lemmy.ml/c/ps5 is moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5

Join us and subscribe: !ps5@lemmy.world

Why is this being posted in Nintendo?

  • For those of you that don't know, I'm the original creator of the PS5 community that is now migrating. @slimerancher@lemmy.world is your beloved lead mod and creator of the Nintendo Communtiy. Through the joys of the Fediverse, he and I clicked and decided to co-mod both PS5 and Nintendo together. Since I am migrating my community to a new location, I talked this over with @slimerancher@lemmy.world and he has graciously allowed me to pin this post here to help me with the transition.
  • So those of you with a PS5 (in addition to your Nintendo Consoles) can come join us at our new location. Just click new link and subscribe!

Why is lemmy.ml/c/ps5 moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5? And what will become of the old community?

If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them!

Yeah, I agree with this. I was checking different instances and communities today, and while there are tons of smaller instances, most of the communities are centered around bigger instances.

Fun fact: I joined lemmy.world and started nintendo community here when join-lemmy showed it had 3 users / month, and lemmy.world registrations required approvals. Didn't sign up on lemmy.ml to spread out the load to smaller instances. Didn't know it would become the largest instance soon after that.

I understand and I have no issue with communities existing on big isntances, but moving extablished community is a perfect opportunity to choose a smaller instance as it's easy to convert existing subscribers.

Again, if I had more time to evaluate alternatives I likely would have gone down this path. What I will say is if a migration tool for communities is developed, I will look into migrating again in order to accomplish this goal

And I established on lemmy.ml originally when my only real options at the time were ml and beehaw, and beehaw was more restrictive on signups and didn't allow for community creation. Things change fast.
