Hello everyone,
Some context: it is usually agreed here than centralization of communities on Lemmy.world is detrimental to Lemmy as a federated platform (see this post https://sopuli.xyz/post/11972110 for detailed explanations), which is why a few communities have been started to get general topics off LW:
One topic that is still quite popular today is television, and there are basically two options
- !television@lemmy.world which some people prefer to avoid, which makes sense. Also, it’s currently unmoderated except by the Automod bot, the last human bot left a few days ago.
- !moviesandtv@lemm.ee which is known to be managed by a single mod prompt to power tripping mod (see https://lemm.ee/post/30754133)
I am thus opening this thread to see if people would be interesting in opening a television community elsewhere. I’m going to ping the last posters on that topic in the comments.
Edit: the objective here is to find potential moderators for that new community.
See you around
Would you like to moderate too? I have enough communities at the moment, so the objective is also to find other mods for that potential new community
I’d also be okay with creating a new community, but I’m not interested in moderating.
Thank you for your comment!
Sure, no worries, i can
Great! Which instance do you have in mind?
Haven’t thought about it, which so you recommend?
Let’s see what other people suggest.
Lemm.ee is solid, and there is already !movies@lemm.ee and !animation@lemm.ee there, so that could be an option.
Sh.itjust.works is always an option, but I’m personally not a big fan of the name.
The rest of the top 10 instances by MAU (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/) are rather targeted to a specific demographic (blahaj), language (feddit.org) or topic (programming.dev)
https://metacritics.zone was made for that. I am planning to add soon the functionality to let people create communities by themselves on instances they do not have an account on, but if you want I can create it for you.
Update: created. If any of you wants to become a moderator, let me know.
That can be an option too, but I could see why people might want to choose an instance with a higher number of monthly active users.
Please, not this again…
There are no users in the instance because registrations are closed and I was creating the communities on demand to make a home for the mirroring bots. The idea of these instances is to be a home for groups, not for people, precisely to avoid issues of politics and constant concerns about centralization.
All I am asking now is for you (and others) to try it.
We can go through this again, having the network of communick communities depending on you might be seen as a single point of failure.
I know you have said that there are other people involved, and who could take over if needed, but I could also see why people, seeing instances like lemm.ee, or reddthat.com, well managed for over a year, would be more inclined to use those.
how about?
Media.Discussion@lemm.ee
Keeps it general, open to tv, movies, anime etc
General rules:
It seems like there is enough content to distinguish animation (thanks to the work of @darakan@lemm.ee on !animation@lemm.ee ), movies and television, so maybe a dedicated television community is better?
Hey, bumping this comment, still interested in moderating a potential !television@lemm.ee ?
Yes, but I can’t make a community on lemm.ee without making a user on lemm.ee which is unfortunate. That kinda killed my momentum when I looked into it.
I’ll make a note so it doesn’t fall off my to-do list.
Hello,
Just checking in, do you know when you think you’ll be able to create the community?
Thanks for the reminder
