Hello everyone,

As you may have noticed, I'm trying to revive this community. However, I noticed that is actually overlaps quite a lot with !general@lemmy.world

Do you think we should move there, so that we can have more content and activity on one place?

The hardest part to get a community started is now, when you need to build traction, and I think it makes sense to use the larger userbase of !general (10k subs vs 4k here)

Let me know what you think!

Totally agree with this and I also think Casual Conversation is just a better, more inviting name for the purposes of the community.

If I wanted to start a conversation I wouldn't be inclined to post in a sub called "General", despite the name being technically all-inclusive. Calling it Casual Conversation gives any hesitant poster reassurance that other subscribers of the sub really just want to hear casual small talk.

It makes sense
