Hello everyone,

For people interested in movies, you may have noticed that !moviesandtv@lemmy.film is now gone, unfortunately.

The community was quite active, especially with the movies discussion threads, it would be nice to create a new one elsewhere.

As Lemmyworld and lemmy.ml already have most of the active communities, I thought it would be interesting to have this one (maybe two, one for movies, one for TV) on lemm.ee ? In a similar way that !games@sh.itjust.works is a popular community on sh.itjust.works (thanks @nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works for posting there)

What do you think?

    i think its better to start with a join movies&tv comm, you probably want to grow it fast and managing two new comms may get to confusing/tiring for the mods, plus it will be the mods the main posters there until it gets big enough

    since its a general comm, it a good idea to have it on an instance that its federated to most big intances so lemme and lemmy.ml are good choices, with lemee being a bit better because of lax moderation and i think making comms there is easier

      Interesting, you have a point! I guess we could start with a common community, but named "movies@lemm.ee" and allowing both movies and tv content.

      Having it names like this makes it future proof for when we'll probably eventually split and have television@lemm.ee. If we go with "moviesandtv@lemm.ee", when we'll reach the point where we need to split, that might make things confusing.

      Definitely agree

        its a good idea to be ready, i think admins can change the name of comms, also you should probably claim the TV comm name even if you arent going to use it at the start just to make sure.

      reddthat is a great instance, and I'm glad to see that it's not just a single-admin setup. If you vanished (I hope not!), does the team have the access, knowledge, finance and motivation to continue?

      It's good to see you around, you guys are doing a great job over there! I guess we'll probably go with lemm.ee just to have more users able to access the community from their local feed, but thanks for offering!

      Is anything good on your side, funding-wise?

        No worries! I hope the community comes back around!

        Yeah funding is good. Completely community funded :) Ours is on open collective if you want to see it 😉 (we are completely transparent)

      Thanks for the tag. Yea like you and others here all I would have suggested is lemm.ee. Seems a good fit for spreading the community load while also going for a good and well run instance.
