Fuck is this spam.
Hey, please not that it’s against lemmy.world TOS (and probably against the TOS’es of some other instances) to do this. So if you are planning to do this when moving a community, please don’t.
I now know why it is against ToS. It confused me when I got the notification. I never get a mention usually on Lemmy.
Don’t you get a notification when people reply to one of your comments?
Not a mention, just a notification. I got a mention. I am on jerboa and boost for Lemmy btw.
Hey,
Wait a sec, how is that against the ToS? We did a while ago on https://lemmy.world/post/24312613 and did not get any issue
Something can violate TOS but go unnoticed.
“I did it before” is not a valid argument for something not being against TOS.
It breaks rule 3 and 5.1 of the Lemmy.world TOS.
I clarified it on the Lemmy Defense matrix channel since then. I’ll try to get this added as a feature, be it on Lemmy or Piefed, let’s see how it goes.
Yea that would be great (:
Sweet. I wonder if I can spam everyone on this list with just one reply.
You can’t. You have to
@everyone in a reply to do that.Replying to the actual comment would have been a start too. Damn decaf coffee. Evil stuff.
People will scroll up and see the can anyway 😄

Well. We got Eggs, bacon, spam and spam, not very much spam in that!
Fuck off
Eloquent.
A pinned post works wonders.
Not this nonsense.A pinned post can be unnoticed by a large amount of people.
Sorry for the one notification, but at least now we’re sure everyone who interacted with this community is aware of the move.
That makes no sense. The decision to close this community was made in a pinned post. If that’s not enough engagement the community shouldn’t have been closed.
Well movies and TV was dead anyway, but it had (has) 2.5k subscribers. There’s no way to actually gather up enough of those people at all without some kind of mass ping. Which would annoy people all the same.
Either that’s enough engagement so that’s what they should have done instead of spam thousands of accounts or it’s not enough engagement and they have no reason to spam thousands of accounts. You can’t just decide to start spamming because you want more users in your new community.
It’s done now. It was just supposed to be pinging those who weren’t aware, but had previously interacted on here. It can’t scrape subscribers, so can only go by comments on here.
You’ve just described spam. Mass unsolicited messaging.
There’s no native way to inform people here of community migration at scale. It’s just a notification that is somewhat targeted.
Well it was a great way to put yourself on my shitlist.
How exactly does it work wonders? It never shows up in the feeds of people
I have no problem seeing pinned posts.
Most people won’t see a pinned post if they’re not actively browsing that instance at the time. Sure, some will, but not many depending on the community size.
