Edit: for context, I first sent a DM to the single mod asking them if we could consider merging communities (basically my comment below). They ignored me but opened the thread.
My comment
Should we maybe consider merging this one with [email protected] ? We have regular pinned posts and movie-specific discussion threads over there, and that community has been more active than this one lately, be it weekly or monthly (1.54k vs 1.32k and 2.92k vs 2.51k). The moderation team has several people, including movie enthusiasts who post there regularly. We had our first AMA a while ago a few weeks ago: https://lemm.ee/post/31335226 And if people ask why we wanted to have a community on another instance than Lemmy.world, the large majority of active communities are already on LW (https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active), it seems better to spread communities a bit.
Reason for removal
Not currently considering this action Maybe in the future.
I guess I’m just a bit sad that they removed the comment altogether instead of letting it there and considering a discussion.
I’ve heard several times that Lemmy should consolidate communities (like what happened with [email protected] and [email protected] recently), but I guess it’s easier said than done.
In the meantime, congrats for making this community the most active one!
This community has been created to avoid overcentralization of Lemmy.world.
Also, if the LW community was actively managed I wouldn’t mind (I regularly post to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] which are on LW), but they still don’t have
Consolidation of communities is an issue that is regularly brought up on Lemmy, so that’s what this whole suggestion was trying to address.
That’s fair. So no one wants to close their community, let’s just move on then.
Indeed, which is what happened (and to be honest, the much bigger drama on [email protected] completely erased this one)
