Hello everyone,

The former mods here have graciously decided to pass over the lead mod position to me so that we can continue to build a great place for PlayStation here on Lemmy. If you don’t know who I am, I am the lead mod over on [email protected] and I have been building a place for PS on Lemmy since just before the Reddit fiasco.

I am very active in the community and post regularly/daily about PS5 and PS news over on c/ps5. My co-mod over on c/PS5 (@[email protected]) is also the lead mod on [email protected] and they have done a tremendous effort building that community large and wide!

All this is to say…or rather ask you all a few questions:

  • Should c/playstation and c/ps5 join forces? Lemmy as a whole is still very small, and I believe having subscribers divided across two largely similar communities is doing us a disservice. A larger community means more discussions, more comments, more everything.

  • Should we remain separate? I know many of you likely joined c/playstation and c/ps5 for different reasons. Merging the communities might not be what you all want.

  • Do you have different ideas from those above? Please let us know below!


The point of this post is to hear from all of you and gather feedback and ideas before any decision is made. Currently, I plan to release a survey to formalize the options and opinions of the community before we do anything. For now, this post is to inform you all of what is happening and see what you all think.


Edit:

Here is a link to the similar discussion post I posted over on [email protected]

    Well, then people joining have a choice, they can see if they they want the one that actual discussions and posts or the dead / spam campaign one. Choice is important.

      That doesn’t sound like much of a choice. Go to where there’s content or go to where there’s spam? I feel like we should just eliminate the spam. It’s not an actual choice, it’s just a mess.
