Where are you located?
IIRC, Catodon development is currently halted (https://catodon.social/notes/9rl77swzw25jjq7x).
Sharkey I don’t know
There really is a whole *keys forks lore ha ha
Seems like an opportunity!
From the sidebar:
A community focused on discussions on movies and TV shows.
It’s called movies as hopefully at some point in the future we’ll have TV shows split, but as Lemmy still has a small community it makes sense to consolidate both types of content here
I agree to a certain extend, but that brings us to the question of how that content is going to be discovered by people not knowing about Lemmy. With search engines being only a shadow of their former selves, and Reddit shadowbanning Lemmy URLs that’s probably another issue we should keep in mind
Yeah, not the best place indeed
Thanks for the link! I usually just use the Reddit link, I’ve had alternative viewers shut down in the past (e.g. Invidious instances for Youtube) and then people can’t access the content anymore
Yes, I was surprised as well
You do!
To me, FireFish got replaced by IceShrimp. Good looking interface, nice features (Antenna) and regular releases.
IIRC, Blaze (mod here) got banned under similar circumstances.
Hello,
That’s indeed why I opened this community in the first place. For people interested, you can have a look at this post for the details (open the spoiler): https://lemmy.world/post/11446250
I see where they come from, but from a new user perspective, it’s quite confusing to see too similar-looking communities, more or less similarly active, with more or less the same type of content, and not know where to post
[email protected] is more software development oriented, and [email protected] has the typical lemmy.ml spin to it.
I’m not sure how either side would agree to “merge”, since wanting self-governance was the reason the split happened in the first place.
Indeed, but on that point I’m not sure how the LW is currently moderated. The moderators don’t seem that active (it’s a trend I’ve noticed among a few LW communities). If I have some time in the coming days, I might contact them to see if they are still interested in managing that community, or if uniting forces with lemdro.id would make more sense
The newcommunities one in particular didn’t take issue with it? That was part of why I was asking, as I didn’t think they would appreciate posts about existing communities, but if they don’t mind then I take it it’s a non-issue.
Nope, see this post for instance: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/11513256
On the last part, it may not hurt to see if different AskLemmy communities would be up for including them in their sidebars, and maybe featured posts with pointers to Lemmyverse and [email protected] if they don’t have them already.
Yeah, that would be a good one. I’m not sure how to really do it though, I know the [email protected] moderation team applies the rules very literally, so they might just flag any post there as “not a question” and remove it
So currently, just finding a little bit of good visual content (usually accompanied by a link and or mini-review) and posting once on a near-daily basis seems to keep snagging users without having to do anything else.
Thanks for sharing, definitely my experience as well. Usually, if the content is a bit appealing, it will end up in the 3 first pages of Top of 12 hours
Happy to see you hear!
@[email protected] for their work on [email protected] , and the Lemmy promotion on Reddit!
