I mod the !iiiiiiitttttttttttt@lemmy.world community, I’ve managed to grow the number of subscribers from 360 to 800.

I’m thinking of moving it to programming.dev. Is this a good idea? I made a post asking this and I’m looking for feedback there.

    a community I have.

    Try not to think of it that way. The community is the people who subscribe, post and comment. You don’t own them, you just take out the trash. If they are happy to move then good, if not then don’t force it. And you can always just make a second community on the other instance and hand over the old instance to the people who want to stay there.

    I’d definitely like that as a programming.dev user. I like to see topic-specific instances used for that topic, and to have lots of communities about that topic.

    Can someone please explain what the issue is with lemmy.world? I signed up 2 years ago and haven’t been very active and just recently came back to lemmy in general.
