Cut it out with deleting active posts cuz you deem it "ooh it goes into this other community"
You are being dipshits and you know it.

Put a bit more nicely: deleting and removing popular posts with lots of engagement is a much more harmful action than a post in the wrong comm, especially if the original comm is cth, because it's a catch-all.
If people are enjoying and interacting with a post it should stay up, the whole point of this website is enjoying and interacting with posts.
Instead of deleting, can't mods just comment that future posts should go wherever? Or is it possible for mods to migrate a post from one comm to another? That would really be the best solution. But deleting something with high engagement is just going to dampen engagement and feels like a "take my ball and go home" use of mod permissions

Exactly, I had said it before, it's fine to want posts in their respective community, but if it already is doing numbers, you lost

Quick everyone engage with this post so RNAi is extra annoyed when this one is deleted too!
Honestly Lemmy just needs to add a move feature. It's no good having stuff in the wrong comm but it's also no good deleting stuff with lots of engagement. Someone with some development chops go build the move feature into Lemmy so everyone can win

The Lemmy issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2345
From the discussion, implementing it would take some work
From the discussion, it sounds like cross-posting to the target comm is the solution
Making a new post loses the activity of the old post, even if it's a cross-post
Look out, if this gets too much traction it will get deleted too, as a joke
It's really disappointing and shows that not much has been learned
