Is there a need for a television community that is not on lemmy.world? (sopuli.xyz)

Hello everyone,

Some context: it is usually agreed here than centralization of communities on Lemmy.world is detrimental to Lemmy as a federated platform (see this post https://sopuli.xyz/post/11972110 for detailed explanations), which is why a few communities have been started to get general topics off LW:

One topic that is still quite popular today is television, and there are basically two options

!television@lemmy.world which some people prefer to avoid, which makes sense. Also, it's currently unmoderated except by the Automod bot, the last human bot left a few days ago.
!moviesandtv@lemm.ee which is known to be managed by a single mod prompt to power tripping mod (see https://lemm.ee/post/30754133)

I am thus opening this thread to see if people would be interesting in opening a television community elsewhere. I'm going to ping the last posters on that topic in the comments.

Edit: the objective here is to find potential moderators for that new community.

See you around

how about?

Media.Discussion@lemm.ee

Keeps it general, open to tv, movies, anime etc

General rules:

Encourage others
No Ad hominem attacks
Stay on the general topic

It seems like there is enough content to distinguish animation (thanks to the work of @darakan@lemm.ee on !animation@lemm.ee ), movies and television, so maybe a dedicated television community is better?
