Update: requested [email protected] :

Hello everyone,

For people interested in movies, you may have noticed that [email protected] is now gone, unfortunately.

The community was quite active, especially with the movies discussion threads, it would be nice to create a new one elsewhere.

As Lemmyworld and lemmy.ml already have most of the active communities, I thought it would be interesting to have this one (maybe two, one for movies, one for TV) on lemm.ee ? In a similar way that [email protected] is a popular community on sh.itjust.works (thanks @[email protected] for posting there)

What do you think?

    i think its better to start with a join movies&tv comm, you probably want to grow it fast and managing two new comms may get to confusing/tiring for the mods, plus it will be the mods the main posters there until it gets big enough

    Interesting, you have a point! I guess we could start with a common community, but named “[email protected]” and allowing both movies and tv content.

    Having it names like this makes it future proof for when we’ll probably eventually split and have [email protected]. If we go with “[email protected]”, when we’ll reach the point where we need to split, that might make things confusing.

    it a good idea to have it on an instance that its federated to most big intances so lemme and lemmy.ml are good choices, with lemee being a bit better because of lax moderation and i think making comms there is easier

    Definitely agree

      its a good idea to be ready, i think admins can change the name of comms, also you should probably claim the TV comm name even if you arent going to use it at the start just to make sure.

          But please only claim it if you really have short-term plans for it. Subreddit squatting has been a persistent problem on Reddit, and I wouldn’t want this to be repeated in the Lemmyverse.

            Definitely! That’s why I wanted another mod with me as well (see comments below). Sub squatting is a plague indeed.
