And you could ask for a spoiler free review of an old movie or series or questions about it . Here eveeything like that gets downvoated to hell , doesn’t exist or doesn’t get much reach . I do wish we could intime have things like that .
The population on lemmy is not par with reddit. It takes time but we will get there if reddit keeps on fucking up like it does now.
It’s a good time to remember all the things we consider the norm from there were nowhere to be seen during the Digg migration. Give it time for the fediverse to find its footing and its own way!
Yeah but we’re not talking about niche interests subs, we’re talking about discussions of movies and stuff. They’re really basic, really standard, and really popular things for an internet forum to have. They were a norm long before Digg and Reddit, and they were routinely some of the most trafficked and active posts on Reddit.
You would think that the first communities and the first norms to really take root and grow here would be the most basic. It’s kind of weird how after 7 months there just hasn’t been any real establishment of them.
There was a community like this on another instance with a focus on film/tv called Lemmy.film that had more traction, but unfortunately it was among those early instances that spun up only to abruptly fall away at some point.
If I’m not mistaken I think this community may have been created in response to its loss, but it hasn’t managed to get as much activity for whatever reason. Prior to the Lemmy.film instance going away, its version of this community had around five thousand subscribers.
I think what also may not help is that this community is on Lemm.ee which has stricter limits on media upload sizes, which may get in the way of sharing memes/clips from shows/movies they’re enjoying, if not from other instances then certainly from those on Lemm.ee itself.
The only thing that concerns me is that lemmy downvotes/bans anyone that doesn’t match their ideology. People suck, their ideologies suck but we have to get past through that too.
Be the change you want.
TV shows don’t end anymore - they just don’t get renewed.
Another reason why the episodic format is superior to serialization. At least you’re not left hangin’ when it’s cancelled mid-season.
I reckon the best shows are the ones that are largely episodic with a serialised overarching story. Where you can pick up pretty much any episode and be cool with it, but where watching it all in order provides the best experience and it has a satisfying definitive conclusion.
They have discussion threads at !movies@lemmy.world.
Edit: clarification: that thread was on !moviesandtv@lemm.ee , this community, not on LW
FYI, I posted this discussion today, it got removed by the mod.
I sent them a DM, let’s see how it goes.
@TheImpressiveX seconding this, they’re the largest lemmy movie community. @THEDAEMON are you subscribed there?
Doesn’t help with the TV stuff I guess.
