Why don’t all these communities just move over here instead

I tried to float that idea in a few niche communities. I was downvoted to all hell, two of them outright removed the post :P I think the majority of reddit doesn't care, sadly

Joplin didn't have official support on r/joplinapp. It was a sub created by volunteers but as it grew in popularity it got some semblance of being official. Still afaik this post is the first one by the founder.

So I guess it's only the matter of time before someone out of Joplin community will make the sub dedicated to it to repeat the history

Change doesn't happen overnight. It's hard enough to convince 10 friends to change messaging platform. Imagine trying to move a whole community to a new service.

I have seen all this stuff about "migrating to lemmy" so here I am. But what you'd really need to do isn't just tell everyone to go make a new account, but mirror all the existing content for communities. That's what differentiates "migrating" from "making a new account". Is this possible? Planned? Contemplated?
