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
- [email protected] 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.
- [email protected] 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 [email protected] and [email protected] 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?

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 @[email protected] on [email protected] ), movies and television, so maybe a dedicated television community is better?
Hey, bumping this comment, still interested in moderating a potential [email protected] ?
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
