The community is only as active as regular posters are.
If I or @cm0002@lemmy.world switch to the programming.dev community, over time it will become more active than the dbzer0 version
As I said elsewhere, I'm just tired of not being able to have a single community as an alternative to .ml
Also, it's not about destroying a community, merely locking it. You can reopen it later if issues happen with the programming.dev one
