I was thinking about pinging people who are usual posters in the community, but I guess I’ll wait a few days, the announcement and locking the other community was probably enough for a start.
Didn’t people really hate that last time? lol
I didn’t.
I’m glad the migration went out smoothly!
Good to see you here!
Thanks!
I also like being here. I feel like this sort of comm is what the Fediverse needs the most - politics is important and all, but sometimes you just want to chill and talk random stuff.
Thanks. You might want to remove lemm.ee references from the sidebar.
Good point, I’ll get to that later, it’s not that urgent.
Thanks for all your work mods! This is one of my top communities I really like it here
It is such a great community :)
Hello everyone. How does this community work?
Hello,
Not sure what you mean, it seems like you’re here now. Do you have any specific question?
I am new to this community. It is called casual conversation, so how do we casually converse? Where? Is it in posts or DMs?
Just posts/comments. It’s a place for lighthearted, general conversation, and a place to be friendly.
I’m also pretty new, but I understood it as basically just like random ice-breakers or questions or conversations you’d have with some stranger you just met at the bar.
The sidebar has some simple rules to follow.
Pretty much this, thanks!
Could you explain what migration means in this context? What did you migrate from a technical point of view? I still had to subscribe to it manually, so it looks to me just like a new community?
Here you go:https://piefed.social/post/667045
You still have to subscribe manually to !casualconversation@piefed.social. I did it for most of the insances: https://piefed.social/post/846330
In your case please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar, it should show up the community
The content from the old community got pulled over into this new one on Piefed. Unfortunately, those old posts don’t seem to backfill, so it looks empty when you’re subscribing to it. If you go to this community on its home instance, it looks like all of the old posts are there (didn’t check comments, though)
Not sure if those old/migrated posts will fill in over time or not. I should try manually pulling one in via federation to check.
Yay!
Thank you so much for the work involved.
I don’t always chime in a lot, but this is one of my favorite communities to scroll through and enjoy comments. It always feels casual and comfortable.
Good to see you here!
