This is actually the only solution. I've said it before and I'll say it again. All main or no main.
Merge videos and movies
Agree with most of those, but videos is for posting videos, and movies is for film (and I think TV) discussion.
The problem is if you merge books & literature, the literature lizards will feast upon the genre-loving pigeons. Thankfully, we can simply send in MFA students to drive them away, followed by poets, who will simply freeze to death when wintertime rolls around due to lack of funding.
Ah, our hubris back when we thought we were gonna get more of those 160k subs, even though it was a month from ban to standing up this site.
It isn't. There's only c/literature. Also it's a poor analogy
Why do we even have comms if not to be able to make some posts less visible, and is this something that we want? I think all comms should be subscribed by default and to unsubscribe should have a good reason.
I too was miffed when I posted what thought was a great article into c/canada and received no feedback on it, one single upbear and no comments.
If all coms were in everyone's feed then we would not need to merge anything, and if someone really didn't want that topic it could be unsubscribed.
But we're not reddit - and we don't want people isolated or marginalized in little groups, we also want exposure for issues surrounding those groups - but we also want people to use comms. The only way I can see to merge these two things is to have all comms subscribed to all people by default. That is, make them opt outs rather than opt in.
Then comms are for sorting posts, and avoiding certain topics if you really don't want to be exposed to it, but not for marginalizing groups.
Or maybe I'm wrong about the goals of the site and the purpose of comms.
They changed the name of c/books to c/literature. There aren't two separate comms
the only sensible thing here is the politics + electorialism and books + literature
ah,sorry i remembered the comm being pushed and i thought it was new 😅
have you seen the content posted in both comms? smashing them would alineate one or the other. comms doesnt need to compete with main in terms of traffic
