Good activity on !movies@lemm.ee, thanks to post from @Emperor@feddit.uk and @UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk

There is some progress on a potential bot, that would help for sure

Still a bit frustrating to see that the moderation team on !movies@lemmy.world isn't doing much with that place, but that's life I guess

Happy to have somewhere to post film news - I get a tonne in my feed but there are so many film communities I hadn't got round to figuring out which to commit to. You helped that choice along.

In the end, you can only worry about your own communities.

Yeah, I have a habit of sharing news that only really interests me. That's why I don't share everything I come across. A friend and I used to run a website together, and I got quite used to posting the latest film trailers and interesting news that I came across. Although sometimes I found it really hard to post news about films I didn't really care about. I had to write something to accompany the video.

Me too - the algorithm offers me a range of film news and I tend to only pass on stutt that interests me but I will try harder to share a wider range.

We still managed to got !starwars@lemmy.world locked down, so there is an extend of influence we can have even on other communities

Oh indeed - it's always possible to reach out to an Admin to try and sort out any issues - they're quite obvious though, as they have duplicate communities on the same instance.

They permabanned me a while back for suggesting pinned posts in the community: https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863

I provided more explanations in this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/13874713?scrollToComments=true

Other people have had the same kind of treatment. I even discussed with the lemm.ee admin about this, and he told me that even though he understood I got upset, he didn't want to interfere with community moderation.

So we started !movies@lemm.ee. Still feels a bit sour about this, I guess I was among the top contributors to !moviesandtv@lemm.ee

It is. On the other side, !movies@lemm.ee is now much more active than the other one, so at least there's that: https://lemm.ee/communities

As Emperor said, the best communities will survive. I don't think their type of moderation is the best.

Do you think at some point it would be worthwhile to start a television community on lemm.ee as well? I know right now !movies@lemm.ee is for both but eventually I imagine it might be best to separate them.
