MODERATORS
 

Hello everyone,

Following my last post here (https://feddit.de/post/8157862), I start the discussion about a laid-back community for Europeans on lemm.ee (it's a large server, well managed, and with a European domain name).

The idea would be to have an alternative community to !europe@feddit.de, which seems to be quite focused on news and politics.

We can change most of the things in the future, but one thing will be set in stone: the name!

What do you think it should be? I'll add a few suggestions in the comments, feel free to upvote and suggest your own if you have any!

I knew someone would bring that up ha ha

I mean, it was a pretty fun community on that site, I'd love to have it on lemmy, too

europeans@lemm.ee

I like this one because it will be easier to distinguish from the existing Europe communities, and also put the emphasis on the people

[–] albert180@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean you could also post different things here. It wasn't meant to be only News and Politics πŸ˜…

[–] Blaze@discuss.online 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I do, as you may have noticed, I try to post maps and "light" content here every other day.

But the think is that I just want to take a break of news, and !europe@feddit.de is going to have them, of course, that makes sense!

Hence the proposition of this new community

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I can post some light content too. I'm not sure dividing the community is the best, as lemmy is quite small already and I think anything europe should fit here, but if you create something I'll probably be there too. Unlikely that I'll post too two different communities with similar content though.

[–] Blaze@discuss.online 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you, always good to have active posters interested in a new community!

[–] albert180@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, that's a good point. Reading too much news can make you really miserable some days.

[–] HowRu68@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Seems @Alberto180 doesn't mind to have lighter content posting here. I think that the question is whether people would like it to be intertwined, or keep like a focus for political discussion here.. Also don't know how that works a critical minimum of users for a Cty to take off, but maybe you can have them as part of the" same whole" too;like part of Europe.de and viceversa..

@Blaze I think a separate one called Yurup for memes/ Yt and occasional bla bla, would be nice.

ADD: we could have a a poll? proposal:

  1. keep it here
  2. separate
  3. if separate (but maybe together) is an option what name?

I don't really see the need for a poll, I'm going to create it anyway, if it fails, it fails, but it's not like !europe is lacking content at the moment with the amount of posts people create here everyday (which makes sense, it's the 6th most active community of Lemmy after all: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active)

Allright, didn't catch that bit. So then no need for a poll like you said. I thought you were discussing this option. So keep us posted indeed.

[–] Blaze@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

The poll is for the name!

[–] Blaze@discuss.online 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lso don’t know how that works a critical minimum of users for a Cty to take off

Don't worry, I'll promote it everywhere, and I think with the number of subscribers !europe@feddit.de has, we should be able to gain a nice amount of people quite fast

[–] albert180@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Write a small post when you've done it and I will stick it :)
