Why are you @ing me?
Migration to !Television@lemm.ee
I’m not subscribed is it if you’ve ever interacted with this community?
Yes, probably those comments: https://lemm.ee/search?q=+&type=All&listingType=All&communityId=408863&creatorId=742174&page=1&sort=TopAll
Interesting.
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.
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
“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 (:
Something can violate TOS but go unnoticed.
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.

Fuck off
Eloquent.
A pinned post works wonders.
Not this nonsense.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.
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.
Well it was a great way to put yourself on my shitlist.
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.
The automated migration notification is interesting, I assume it’s everyone that was subscribed to the old one. How does it work?
I was never subscribed
You probably commented at some point
I wasn’t subscribed!
It scraped comments, not subscribers. You commented here before.
I figured! Better way to get a larger audience I suppose. Seems, based on comments, some people were unhappy. I ended up subscribing to the new one though.
Yes, seems like the notification isn’t always welcome by some people. Glad to see it was useful to you, see you there!
You commented here: https://lemm.ee/post/35434394/12784907
I wondered if that was the case.
There’s no way this helps your case lol
It’s nor supposed to help it, just explain
Not very well, given that I’m not subscribed and have no idea why I was notified.
I wasn’t subscribed either but maybe I upvoted something on here before? Not a huge deal but def curious how the automation for that was crafted.
Here’s the script. It’s pretty messy as it was supposed to be a one-off script when football@lemmy.world migrated to !Football@lemm.ee and was modified from sending a DM to just mass tagging people. You can’t get the subscriber list via the API, so you have to check for activity.
Gotcha thanks for sharing. Hope the migration goes well :)
I think blaze needs the good luck more than me. I’m not a part of this community as I don’t watch movies and TV, I was just doing this upon request. Granted me my first ever mod/admin warning though lol
I’m okay. I’m clarifying the admin warning, I’m a bit surprised as last time we didn’t have any issue with !football@lemmy.world
Yeah, it’s not super bad but definitely a bit surprising.
You commented at some point
You’ve interacted with the community, the subscriber list isn’t available from the the API AFAIK
Might be worth adding to the API. This kind of notification is obviously useful but a bit surprising for people who once passed by and left a comment.
I 100% agree, it would be a much better solution and would integrate well with AutoMods. I suspect it’s not available for privacy reasons since it would enable you to scrape every community someone is subscribed to, which people may not want exposed to regular uses. Similar to how you can’t see who/what people voted.
LMFAO
Sweet. I wonder if I can spam everyone on this list with just one reply.
Well. We got Eggs, bacon, spam and spam, not very much spam in that!
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 😄

What the fuck.

Hey @BoozeOrWater@lemm.ee, how’s it going?
Removed by mod
Is the new comm no longer about movies?
Correct. There’s movies for that. It’s split into movies and television.
Thanks!
Nope.
“I’ll take ‘Piss Off Every Lemmy User’ for 1000, Alex.”.
To be fair, on the other side people always complain when community migration is mentioned that “you lose people in the process”
!football@lemmy.world pinned post is similar, people were quite okay to be notified there
“to be fair” you can go fuck yourself. I’m blocking !television@lemm.ee and you because this is honestly a bullshit way to do notifications and the lack of understanding is mindboggling.
Well, sure
To be even more fair, I never partake in the foozeball or the boobtoob communities except to complain about shitty posts.
How the spambot scraped the user list and notified people was not smart and likely resulted in more blocks.
Not sure what boobtoob is, but okay
TIL
