Following up on this thread: https://lemm.ee/post/58774156?scrollToComments=true , which was used to announce people that we were moving (similar to https://lemmy.world/post/24312613)

General feedback was negative.

Lessons learned: find a way to notify only subscribers

An admin told me that if this kind of action os coordinated with the community instance admins, they could consider sending a mass direct message, which could then also target only subscribers.

This would require direct database access.

For context, the previous experience was https://lemmy.world/post/24312613

Feedback there was

thanks, I’m sure I only shitposted one time here about football’s cultural atmosphere or game theory/sportsmanship in general.

Thank you for the heads up folks

As a lemm.ee user myself, I approve of this.

I saw the automod tag everybody, and that’s a really nice solution you’ve come up with

I’m also not subscribing to the new one b/c I’m starting to get annoyed with the notion that communities need to be consolidated. That’s not a discussion for this post, though.

From a programming perspective it doesn't make a difference, it's technically simpler sending a DM. The bigger question is how lemmy at large views this method. The football@lemmy.world users might have been an outlier, it seems like a divisive topic based on how some people reacted.

I see.

The football community was probably much smaller, so people didn't mind getting notified

I think by nature if you're not interested in football you won't ever comment on post there, so the amount of false positives in terms of subscribers were likely very low compared to a TV community that sees more c/all engagement.
