Subscribers don’t really mean much if there is no activity. As we can see from this poll, there has only been 36 votes so far.

Most of the people have already moved to !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, which has 2k users per month compared to 531 here.

How long would you like to keep the poll open? We can at least keep it for 48 hours and review later, I’ll edit the post.

Edit: active users this week

• !moviesandtv@lemm.ee: 248
• !television@lemm.ee: 247

I’m going to discuss with Skavau and the other mods to find an option that works, we’ll come back to you once we have something

Good point!

Some people will block one of the instances and not others

Lemm.ee has three similar communities, so that wouldn’t really help.

Definitely leave up any existing posts though for future reference.

Oh yes, that was the plan. See what happened to !football@lemmy.world

Different instances having similar communities is a good thing.

In this case it’s the same instances having similar communities, the three of them are on lemm.ee

different communities have different vibes

Not sure if there’s any vibe here as people hardly post

Hello, thank you for chiming in.

My suggestion: work with the showsandmovies mod team to merge the communities, but merge that one into this one and make them mods here.

Any reason why? showsandmovies is much more active by now

FYI, crossposted to !showsandmovies@lemm.ee

Thank you for chiming in!

There’s already !trailers@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is doing a great job. !horrormovies@lemm.ee comes to mind as well, or !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee

Generally though, no need to keep up to many dups.

Makes sense

I think you’re to be commended on your persistence and commitment to this space!

Thank you!

Feel free to crosspost to !showsandmovies@lemm.ee for wider reach

Report, so that mods can take action.

Tip for you: if there hasn’t been a post at least yesterday, it’s the wrong community 😄

Hey,

You posted to the less active community again 😄 https://lemmy.world/comment/14716144

!showsandmovies@lemm.ee is the most active community

FYI, !showsandmovies@lemm.ee is more active.

• !moviesandtv@lemm.ee has 1.33K monthly active users
• !showsandmovies@lemm.ee has 2.12K monthly active users.

Thought process about discuss.online and sopuli as recommendations

There is no ideal generalist instance. If you open the top 20 instances (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/)

• Lemmy.world is too big
• Lemm.ee is federated with hexbear and lemmygrad, something that is not very welcoming to new users (see this thread: https://sh.itjust.works/post/28798607/15305964 )
• sh.itjust.works names contains “shit”, which can deter users: https://feddit.org/post/4255611/2825351
• lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
• feddit.org, is German-centric (sidebar in German first, Matrix chat is in German, meta community is in German)
• dbzer0 federates hexbear
• programming.dev is topic-centric
• blahaj is queer-focused
• discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
• lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
• lemmy.zip is federated with hexbear and lemmygrad
• beehaw is way outdated
• infosec.pub is topic-centric
• aussie.zone is country-centric
• midwest.social is region-centric

I ended up with discuss.online and sopuli.xyz as they have

• neutral names
• long running history
• good downtime
• active admins
• defederate hexbear and lemmygrad

If people have other suggestions, feel free

Thank you for clarifying.

Nice one ha ha
