When this community was started, the idea was to have a [email protected] version, but focused on Europe. Yurop was selected as a name to show that it was less serious, but it seems like it still gets associated with https://old.reddit.com/r/YUROP/ , which is more about making memes about the Europeans news than casual conversation.
I have recently opened [email protected] to solve this. Feel free to join us there, there is already some conversation going!
Where will content be posted now?
I will personally post content on the new community. Piefed has some nice features that can be used, so it’s a good opportunity.
What will happen to [email protected]?
Not sure yet, but as the community wasn’t that active, it will probably just become inactive. I could also lock it to push people to the new community, but that probably won’t be necessary at first.
Feel free if you have any questions
Memes and jokes on their own are fine, the issue is that they tend to just be about politics and news, and attacks towards against countries under the pretense of humor. https://old.reddit.com/r/YUROP/ is definitely mostly that.
It’s personal, but news and politics are everywhere on Lemmy. I just wanted a place without them.
If other people want to take over [email protected], and make it closer to the subreddit, that’s an option too.
