Hi
Here’s a new community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.
Hope some of you check it out, participate in, and enjoy it!
Maybe I’ll finally get to drawing some of my cosmic horrors
Did you know about [email protected]?
Yes, I’m a member there. It was during a discussion with the creator of that group that we decided to start this one, as he wants to keep it more Lovecraft mythos orientated without the more general cosmic horror.
Ah! In that case, subbing now.
And unsubbing from Lovecraft, honestly, because Lemmy’s not big enough to divide the topic up like that.
Why not just sub to both?
I’m afraid I would spread myself thin. Two dead communities is the worst outcome.
What do you mean spread yourself? If a community doesn’t have activity, there’s nothing to see from it. If you’re subscribed, it’s just more stuff on your feed.
I comment and post as well. A lot. (Hey, you’re here too, don’t judge!)
Obviously I’m not a community on my own, but for something niche by Lemmy standards every bit of activity helps.
I wish there was no move happening at all, but if OP is telling the truth it has been decreed from up high.
Right, but subscribing to a community doesn’t obligate you to post there.
Neat! I’ll check it out!
Love the idea - I vote for less listicles however
Sounds like a fun idea for a community!
There’s also [email protected], but that one may be dead.
Well, kbin.social is dead, so any communities on it are also dead.
Oh! I’d missed that.
Yeah, there’s an issue with how communities are federated. If the host instance goes down, there’s nothing which reflects when viewing the community from a remote instance. Local users can continue posting, blissfully unaware that their posts aren’t being federated.
If you can still see your local lemmy.world version of [email protected], you might want to make one final post there directing any lemmy.world users to the new [email protected].
Posted. Thanks!
It was being developed in PHP in 2023, so it’s not really a surprise it failed, in hindsight.
If you’re OOTL that’s a dead programming language more common in the Y2K era, and one that’s not remembered fondly at all.
