    I specifically voted for feddit.org with this community in mind during the name poll, because it was more international sounding than the other options.

      If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.

      I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.

        So from that I gather that you personally do not have an interest in moving the community over to it.

          I would much rather someone else takes over moderation, yes. Both because of various federated moderation bugs in Lemmy making it hard to moderate a community that isn’t on your home instance and because I have way to many communities that I moderate already.

          If needed, I would be willing to help with moderation, but not be the main moderator of such a new community.

            To be honest, I didn’t volunteer because it’s a news community with a large audience. Debates can get nasty, and that’s something I try to avoid.

            I guess a lot of other people are in the same case, and why you were the only mod here

              /r/europe became pretty much a Nazi cesspool and I feel on the fediverse it could quickly become a Tankie cesspool. I personally would not have nerves for that either. Would be sad to see this community die if the instance inevitably vanishes though.
