Hello everyone,

The former mods here have graciously decided to pass over the lead mod position to me so that we can continue to build a great place for PlayStation here on Lemmy. If you don’t know who I am, I am the lead mod over on !ps5@lemmy.world and I have been building a place for PS on Lemmy since just before the Reddit fiasco.

I am very active in the community and post regularly/daily about PS5 and PS news over on c/ps5. My co-mod over on c/PS5 (@slimerancher@lemmy.world) is also the lead mod on !nintendo@lemmy.world and they have done a tremendous effort building that community large and wide!

All this is to say…or rather ask you all a few questions:

  • Should c/playstation and c/ps5 join forces? Lemmy as a whole is still very small, and I believe having subscribers divided across two largely similar communities is doing us a disservice. A larger community means more discussions, more comments, more everything.

  • Should we remain separate? I know many of you likely joined c/playstation and c/ps5 for different reasons. Merging the communities might not be what you all want.

  • Do you have different ideas from those above? Please let us know below!

The point of this post is to hear from all of you and gather feedback and ideas before any decision is made. Currently, I plan to release a survey to formalize the options and opinions of the community before we do anything. For now, this post is to inform you all of what is happening and see what you all think.

Edit:

Here is a link to the similar discussion post I posted over on !ps5@lemmy.world

    Thanks for the feedback. For a little history, before lemmy.world was even a thing I had made a PS5 community on lemmy.ml. The PlayStation community on lemmy.ml was defunct and admins wouldn’t let me take it over. So I made PS5. After that lemmy.world started and someone made c/PlayStation and then I later migrated my PS5 community over to lemmy.world.

    Just wanted to point out that I didn’t splinter from c/PlayStation. But I agree with the overall sentiment.
