As last time, this is probably useful
On the other side, you still want an instance that will last long enough.
We lost lemmy.film a few weeks back, that was a loss for everyone invested in the main community (about movies and films).
But I agree with you that we should spread about communities across servers. I like lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works, the admins seem pretty chill and really use defederation as last resort.
It’s good to see you around, you guys are doing a great job over there! I guess we’ll probably go with lemm.ee just to have more users able to access the community from their local feed, but thanks for offering!
Is anything good on your side, funding-wise?
Great!
Yes, Jerry is doing a great job with his services. The only issue I see is that with the “infosec” in the name, the domain might be blocked by company firewalls as they would tag it under “hacking”. I know they run a mbin instance, Fedia.io, but I would rather go with Lemmy as Kbin/Lemmy compatibility can be finicky.
What do you think?
i think its better to start with a join movies&tv comm, you probably want to grow it fast and managing two new comms may get to confusing/tiring for the mods, plus it will be the mods the main posters there until it gets big enough
Interesting, you have a point! I guess we could start with a common community, but named “movies@lemm.ee” and allowing both movies and tv content.
Having it names like this makes it future proof for when we’ll probably eventually split and have television@lemm.ee. If we go with “moviesandtv@lemm.ee”, when we’ll reach the point where we need to split, that might make things confusing.
it a good idea to have it on an instance that its federated to most big intances so lemme and lemmy.ml are good choices, with lemee being a bit better because of lax moderation and i think making comms there is easier
Definitely agree
Have a look at my post on !fediverse@lemmy.world , this instance (as well as a few others) went down recently
Update: requested [!movies@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/movies) :

Hello everyone,
For people interested in movies, you may have noticed that [!moviesandtv@lemmy.film](https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv) is now gone, unfortunately.
The community was quite active, especially with the movies discussion threads, it would be nice to create a new one elsewhere.
As Lemmyworld and lemmy.ml already have most of the active communities, I thought it would be interesting to have this one (maybe two, one for movies, one for TV) on lemm.ee ? In a similar way that [!games@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/c/games) is a popular community on sh.itjust.works (thanks [@nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/u/nanoUFO) for posting there)
What do you think?

Learned about this fork from a post about a potential shutdown of Fedia.io, a Kbin instance.
https://lemmy.world/post/6797580
As you can see in the comments, https://kbin.run/ already moved to Mbin.
Interesting to see if that can help with the development of new features compared to kbin being managed mostly by the main developer.

Does anyone know more about this? Seems a bit strange to have all of them going down on the same day

(The site is already down, and my instance wasn't subscribed, so I can't properly link, hopefully the bot will help).

Hello everyone,
Opening this thread as a kind of follow-up on my thread yesterday about the drop in monthly active users on [!fediverse@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse).
As I pointed in the thread, I personally think that having some consolidated core communities would be a better solution for content discovery, information being posted only once, and overall community activity.
One of the examples of the issue of having two (or more) exactly similar Fediverse communities ([!fediverse@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse) and [!fediverse@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse) ) is that is leads to
- people having to subscribe to both to see the content
- posters having to crosspost to both
- comment being spread across the crossposts instead of having all of the discussion and reactions happening in the same place.
I am very well aware of the decentralized aspect of Lemmy being one of its core features, but it seems that it can be detrimental when the co-existing communities are exactly the same.
We are talking about different news seen from the US or Europe, or a piece of news discussed in places with different political orientations.
The two Fediverse communities look identical, there is no specific editorial line. The difference in the audience is due to the federation decisions of the instances, but that's pretty much it, and as the topic of the community is the Fediverse itself, the community should probably be the one accessible from most of the Fediverse users.
What do you think?
Also, as a reminder, please be respectful in the comments, it's either one of the rules of the community or the instance. Disagreeing is fine, but no need to be disrespectful.
It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.
Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren't attracted enough to become regular visitors.
Curious to see at which number we'll stabilize.
Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

I just discovered https://baraza.africa/, which is an African focused instance.
Quite interesting to me as I'm not that familiar with that continent.
https://fanaticus.social/ is interesting to follow professional sports

Hello everyone,
Basically the title.
In my case, I'm trying to address the regularly brought up issue about Lemmy/Kbin only being about memes, tech and news.
Hence, I'm trying to post regularly on
- [!moviesandtv@lemmy.film](https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv)
- [!casualconversation@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/casualconversation)
- [!wholesomememes@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/wholesomememes)
As we all know, growing a community is hard, but I hope that over time they will become more populated.

We are now at 43k, so definitely not maximizing
