Edit: TLDR; please subscribe to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing. This Lemmy community isn't going anywhere, but the daily posts won't be here going forward.

First, I'd like to thank you all for keeping the wetshaving fediverse active with interesting and delightful content! We are approaching the 1000th daily SOTD thread since the inception of the wetshaving Lemmy, and during those 1000 days a lot has changed!

Scrolling through this post it's evident that most of our users have switched to PieFed. In observing this trend, I believe it's an acceptable time to switch things up.

What do I need to do?

Ensure that you are subscribed to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing. You can still use Lemmy of course, as the activity will federate.

Hint for PieFed usersIf you're using PieFed, there's also a Topic that I've built available here. A topic is a group of related communities. You can't edit Topics, but you can use the topic to create your own "Feed" of wetshaving stuff. Just thought I'd mention the option.

What will change?

Daily SOTD threads will begin to be posted to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing in the coming days. !wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social will continue to exist.

Free Talk Friday posts will begin to be posted to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing in the coming days.

When will it happen?

Just as soon as I sit down and make the changes. Ideally you won't even notice since federation is slick and refined at this point. I will make a sticky post on !wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social directing people towards !wetshaving@wetshav.ing when it's done.

Don't like it? Sound off in the comments!

Did I miss something? Any big downsides that I haven't considered? Let me know below!

As I just don't feel like creating a piefed account if I don't have to, I ought to be able to comment over there with this account right?

Took a bit of effort getting my account to "see" the piefed wetshaving community but eventually I got it to.

You can 100% just keep using your lemmy.world account!

The reason why you probably didn't see anything after subscribing to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing is because there's not much activity there (yet). When you subscribe to something using Lemmy, the Lemmy software doesn't really go back in time and show you older stuff.

I just made a post over there if you want to make sure it's showing up in your feed.
