To their defense, not sure how good all the apps display sidebars

I think the issue, especially on Reddit, was the over-representation of US Americans compared to the other countries.

It gets old quite fast to get called a “surrender monkey” or a Nazi on a regular basis in a space where most of the audience is on the other side and I’m not even French or German.

On Lemmy it’s probably a bit more balanced.

I see. On the other hand, I’ve done it a few times (you announce it beforehand, create the new community, lock the old community with a pinned post) and it’s usually okay. Not ideal of course, but still not a breaking point.

The argument I’ve seen a few times is that “communities should be able to move all of their posts and comments elsewhere, on Mastodon it’s possible”, but it doesn’t seem to be the case from the OP.

Thanks. I guess at the moment people manually redirect using pinned posts in communities and in their old profile bio.
