      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.

      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

      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

      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?
