You can migrate your subscriptions in the settings (import / export as a JSON file, easier to do on a computer).
You would lose your comments and posts history, but you can refer to the old account on your new account so that people curious would know it's you. Also, if you keep the same name and avatar, most of the people wouldn't notice.
I had a quick look, no post for 2 days, the two post of todays are reposts from someone who posted them to !linux@programming.dev too. The mod hasn't been active for a month.
And having a community off LW for a change is nice, this is like hitting two birds with one stone.
Especially the derogatory use of the word „tankie“ is unacceptable imo.
Not a fan either.
I‘d prefer if people started debates and tried to find common ground instead. For the reason of decentralization I would like less popular „versions“ of the communities to thrive.
Are you on !fedigrow@lemm.ee? That's a topic we discuss quite often there
privacyguides does seem to have a decent number of active users,
I agree, that's what I mentioned in that thread. But still, we might want to see if the instance is still managed, or if it will go bust like lemmy.film or iusearch.fyi
In the first case, having the community on sopuli.xyz rather than lemmy.world is a step towards decentralization.
There is a certain level of consolidation to be had to that community are active enough to survive. Otherwise you have plenty of inactive communities. Ideal from a decentralization perspective, but lacking as discussion spaces.
Also, I’ve just posted in the meta community about this, generally poking around the issue and what happened and how better administration might be possible.
