I already posted to anotherserver/c/books and no one ever saw it.

Posting anywhere but biggestinstance/c/biggestcommunity is functionally the same as not posting at all.

And of course, the owners of biggestinstance/c/biggestcommunity believe in everything you don't believe in and they really don't like you in particular.

Welcome to new reddit, same as old reddit

Did you promote that community on [email protected] and other promotion communities? Did you actively post on your new community, to attract users to your new one?

I'm going to take two examples I personally had

I'm not a fan of having all discussions on LW, so even if [email protected] was the most active one, we decided with a few others to start animating [email protected]. It is now the most active community on that topic.
I like the show "the Office". [email protected] is the historical community, but as some people are not fans of lemmy.ml, we moved to [email protected], which is now the most active community on this topic.

I guess that shows that community takeover is possible, and does not need additional tools, just some time and dedication.
