You provide very little information so we can only guess what your
problem might be.
My guess is that you transferred a group and the group members as a
whole are resistant to change. Or that you transferred a fairly
inactive group.
Did you discuss the move ahead of time in the old group before making
the move?
I moved a group of over 4,000 members but it was a low activity group
by the time I moved it. It's purpose has run its course. It was about
growing hops and it was formed during a world-wide hop shortage after
a large international hop storehouse burned down. Hop prices went
through the roof, and homebrewers (of beer) wanted to grow their own
hops to save money, and others wanted to get into the hop farming
business to make money.
The shortage was back around 2007, I think, and back then we had over
100 posts daily. Now we have less than 5 in a month. The shortage is
over, and prices have dropped, partly due to many new entries into the
supply chain.
If you moved a group that wasn't active, I wouldn't expect moving to
groups.io would be a magic solution to inactivity. I would actually
expect less activity after moving since some members may not know how
the new platform works, and others won't appreciate being moved to the
new group.
If this doesn't address your question, we need more information.
