      I wish the conversation happened before creating the community, but I don’t agree that locking a community immediately after creating it is the best way to build a resilient platform. Unless there is some kind of automatic link forwarding that I’m not aware of. I’m making assumptions about what “Redirect” means based on my knowledge.

      Is this the best account to reach you by pm?

        That community is 3 days old, it had 11 posts, it’s still very reasonable to create a meta post about it and point people to the SJW

        If you lock the community and pin the post to the SJW one willing to post will just follow that post to the SJW community

        There is a fancier version like what @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev did on !football@lemmy.world

        • ping everyone who ever commented on the old community using a script
        • configure a bot to lock every new post and redirect them to the new community

        But the last point probably overkill for a community that’s 3 days old.

        And for the first one, it can be done manually too
