Would anyone have any issue with locking this community, keeping all the posts and comments up, and redirecting to !television@lemm.ee ?
Follow up from https://lemm.ee/post/57999596 and https://lemm.ee/post/58201093 and
See https://lemmy.world/c/football for an example of what we would like to do.
The moderation team would stay the same. We’ll keep a pinned post here to say we are moving.
We’ll promote it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Impact for people here would be minimal. We can even ping regular posters and commenters like https://lemmy.world/post/24312613
We can always revisit later if needed.
You can vote below about this decision. We’ll see what the decision is in 24h hours.
Vote extended to Monday evening US time. We can then discuss what we want to do then.
What to do with this community?
Hello everyone,
As the previous mod went missing, I got mod rights on this community. For full transparency, see the history between this mod and I: https://lemm.ee/post/44845348
So,as you probably know, the "movies and TV" space is quite busy on Lemmy. At the moment, there is, by order of active weekly users, first one being the most active
For movies:
- !movies@lemm.ee
- !movies@lemmy.world
- !moviesandtv@lemm.ee (the one we're in)
- !movies@piefed.social, a new one, see this thread: https://feddit.org/post/8934906?scrollToComments=true, trigger was power tripping from LW mods
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=movies&order=active
For TV shows:
- !showsandmovies@lemm.ee
- !television@lemm.ee (created recently: https://lemm.ee/post/57792851)
- !television@metacritics.zone
- !netflix@sopuli.xyz (seems abandoned)
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=television&order=active
As you can see, it's quite messy, with a few recent communities. You see people from time to time mentioning how the first "multi-community" they create on apps like Voyager is one to get all the movies communities in one feed.
There are a few options we could consider here
Option 1. Lock it down and redirect to other movies and TV communities.
People were already not posting a lot lately, most of the activity happening on the other communities listed above. There would still be plenty of options (at least two on each topic).
A script can be used to ping everyone who posted and commented recently to make sure that people follow through. Example: https://lemmy.world/post/24312613
Option 2. Keep it open
Leave it open, and accept that people may not find the more active communities, and post here from time to time.
Other options - your suggestions
Feel free to provide your suggestions in the comments.
As a note, I'm not offering a "give a new mod team", as any person wanting to volunteer as a mod would we welcome on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee (application post in the sidebar)
