If they are on board, it would be great if we could make the community migration semi-official.
From past experience, the most effective way to migrate users seems to be to lock the old community and leave a pinned post redirecting users to the new community.
A few of us recently consolidated the electric vehicles communities this way, and I know Blaze has had similar successes.
Have you reached out to @Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca, the active mod of !lotrmemes@midwest.social, for their thoughts?

I’m incredibly confused about what happened and what I should be doing.
Hello @Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca,
It has been a month now, and !lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com is now more active than !lotrmemes@midwest.social (2.94K users / month vs 2.51K users / month).
Would you consider creating a meta post to explain the situation to the community, suggesting them to move to the new community?
You can probably also become a mod there, I guess @PugJesus@lemmy.world wouldn’t mind.
I’d love to give up modding the community entirely. Not because it’s a huge burden, but because I already mod too many communities as-is.
Even better. Maybe you can create a meta post to call for mods?
