Link to the community: !movies@lemmy.world

Edit: for context, I first sent a DM to the single mod asking them if we could consider merging communities (basically my comment below). They ignored me but opened the thread.

My comment

Should we maybe consider merging this one with !movies@lemm.ee ? We have regular pinned posts and movie-specific discussion threads over there, and that community has been more active than this one lately, be it weekly or monthly (1.54k vs 1.32k and 2.92k vs 2.51k). The moderation team has several people, including movie enthusiasts who post there regularly. We had our first AMA a while ago a few weeks ago: https://lemm.ee/post/31335226 And if people ask why we wanted to have a community on another instance than Lemmy.world, the large majority of active communities are already on LW (https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active), it seems better to spread communities a bit.

Reason for removal

Not currently considering this action Maybe in the future.

I guess I’m just a bit sad that they removed the comment altogether instead of letting it there and considering a discussion.

I’ve heard several times that Lemmy should consolidate communities (like what happened with !mapporn@lemmy.world and !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz recently), but I guess it’s easier said than done.

In the meantime, congrats for making this community the most active one!

    Your suggestion makes sense to me. But there is also nothing wrong with them wanting to keep running their own community. It’s just something that has to work itself out over time I guess.

      Fragmentation of discussion when the people commenting aren’t that many in the first place. That’s the main issue for me, and that’s why I’ve been trying to push for consolidation of communities

        I agree. But they can still ultimately do what they want, and that’s a good thing. Just keep working on building an active and welcoming community and things will turn out fine.

          I mean, at least with public modlogs they are accountable for what they do.
