freamon,

Please use his full name: Anakin Psycho-Cunt (apparently).

freamon,

My mum is really into recycling, so she’s obviously a big fan of Lemmy’s meme communities, ha ha ha.

freamon,

lemmynsfw has implemented (or intends to) an interesting compromise, in that you can only downvote posts on that instance’s communities that you’re already subscribed to. Ideally, this means that downvotes are for the quality of the individual post, rather than as a reaction to the type of content.

[Long post] Do more or fewer communities lead to increased engagement?

As I watch The Internet look like it’s starting to adopt a new phase (let’s call it federation writ large), I’m watching for signs of both success and struggle. I have some strong opinions of features and functionality lacking in the current suite of UIs that might help adoption, but thing I’ve been thinking about more...

freamon,

Ha, this is me. I did exactly that (with a community for the TV show Andor) and am guilty of the behaviour you describe.

I’ve probably been thinking along the same lines as you and OP though, 'cos I deleted the community a couple of days ago. I realized that if I had something more to say about that show, it doesn’t belong in it’s own niche community, or ‘Star Wars TV’, or ‘Star Wars’, or even ‘Television’. Perhaps a ‘Movies&TV’ comm, although - at this rate - maybe even ‘entertainment’ would be best.

I’m starting to think that instances that limit community creation to admins have the right idea (e.g. Beehaw, or - to use a non-federated example - tildes).

Some instances have started ‘Community Teams’, but I sense that anytime they discover a dead community, their instinct is to find ways to promote it, get new mods, drive engagement etc, whereas I’m more of the opinion that they should be nuked and consolidated (along the lines of what the ‘cooking’ communities have tried to do, I suppose).

freamon,

From ‘Hard Stare’ to ‘Thousand Yard Stare’

freamon,

I haven’t watched much Trek but I thought I’d check out Strange New Worlds (I was Sci-Bi-Curious).
