The !feminism@beehaw.org community has long since become the largest Lemmy community. In acknowledgement of that, I have decided in consultation with @Gaywallet@beehaw.org to lock this community and redirect.
Personally, I am male and only took on the mod post to make sure Lemmy had a feminism community in the early days of Lemmy, so I’m happy to cede the title to a more vibrant community. If someone wishes to attempt to revive the lemmy.ml community, please get in contact.
Edit: In response to feedback, see:
Beehaw defederates too much though. ML is like the central hub. I like Beehaw a lot, and have an account there, but it lacks the broader user base of Lemmy as a whole because of the lack of federation. They need to open to the other major instances IMO. They are great people, and I wish we could all connect freely again. Lemmy as a whole is not much larger than it was when they defederated with dot world. I haven’t been over there in like 6 months, but I miss it.
I keep forgetting beehaw is a thing. I don’t see anything from them anymore since they defederated. If the community is regularly griefed and brigaded by misogynists. Something I have really no clue about I’m not a regular visitor. I just saw this trending. So correct me if I’m wrong. Moving to some place like beehaw could possibly make sense. It’s a much more isolated safe space environment. But honestly everyone should be feminist. There’s no good reason not to be. Unless you’re ignorant of what it is. And it would be a shame to see less advocacy for it on General instances.
You have a good point, there is a downside given how much beehaw defederates common instances. I am open to either:
Other suggestions are welcome, of course.
