MODERATORS
Would you like to moderate too? I have enough communities at the moment, so the objective is also to find other mods for that potential new community
I'd also be okay with creating a new community, but I'm not interested in moderating.
Thank you for your comment!
Sure, no worries, i can
Great! Which instance do you have in mind?
Haven't thought about it, which so you recommend?
Let's see what other people suggest.
Lemm.ee is solid, and there is already !movies@lemm.ee and !animation@lemm.ee there, so that could be an option.
Sh.itjust.works is always an option, but I'm personally not a big fan of the name.
The rest of the top 10 instances by MAU (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/) are rather targeted to a specific demographic (blahaj), language (feddit.org) or topic (programming.dev)
https://metacritics.zone was made for that. I am planning to add soon the functionality to let people create communities by themselves on instances they do not have an account on, but if you want I can create it for you.
Update: created. If any of you wants to become a moderator, let me know.
That can be an option too, but I could see why people might want to choose an instance with a higher number of monthly active users.
Please, not this again...
There are no users in the instance because registrations are closed and I was creating the communities on demand to make a home for the mirroring bots. The idea of these instances is to be a home for groups, not for people, precisely to avoid issues of politics and constant concerns about centralization.
All I am asking now is for you (and others) to try it.
We can go through this again, having the network of communick communities depending on you might be seen as a single point of failure.
I know you have said that there are other people involved, and who could take over if needed, but I could also see why people, seeing instances like lemm.ee, or reddthat.com, well managed for over a year, would be more inclined to use those.
Yeah, we are definitely rehashing the discussion. If you don't trust that I can do a good job enough by myself (despite never having any major outages), the best way to ensure that these instances can have a guaranteed longevity is by having them growing the network. Let us grow the network, and I'll be able to either (a) hire more people or (b) making them attractive for sponsors or (c) letting the community take over and manage it as a separate entity.
But above all, please don't take your personal concerns and attribute them to "other people".

Sorry, missed that comment.
Do you really believe I am preventing other people to post content to the communities hosted on your instances?
All I mean is that I would rather you talk about the things that concern you instead of arguing indirectly by mentioning "other people" that are just abstract entities.
LIke, it's fine if you don't want to contribute to the topic-based instances because of the concerns you stated. But when you say "some other people might think this" instead of being upfront and say "I think this", you create an impossible conundrum for me to solve: as much as I can try to work with you to solve the issues that concern you, I can not find and work with "other people".
Also, even if you don't want me to argue this case with you, it would be easier/better when you are straightforward about it. I'd take the hint and just "agree to disagree" on this particular topic, and move on.
Hope that makes sense.
how about?
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?
Hey, bumping this comment, still interested in moderating a potential !television@lemm.ee ?
Yes, but I can't make a community on lemm.ee without making a user on lemm.ee which is unfortunate. That kinda killed my momentum when I looked into it.
I'll make a note so it doesn't fall off my to-do list.
Hello,
Just checking in, do you know when you think you'll be able to create the community?
I miss the Lemmy film and TV instance. That's the perfect subject for a specific instance to be centered around. Somebody should bring that back.
I miss it too
why are you tagging me *edit - yes, a television community would be fine. but you don't need to tag me in post, I'm a member of this community. if you post it, I'll see it when I come here.
Thank you for your comment.
I pinged you to see if you had any other opinion to share on this initiative, so thank you for this.
yeah just please don't do it again
Noted!
Burying the intent to find moderators in the comments, not vetting those moderators, and pinging known aggressive users into the thread are each gigantic red flags by themselves. But, it may succeed on luck and user effort, despite the quality of work.
Burying the intent to find moderators in the comments
Updated in the post
not vetting those moderators
Wouldn't that happen after potential moderators show up? If you are referring to @jet@hackertalks.com, they have been known for being around for a while, so that's as much vetting as can be done
pinging known aggressive users
~~Who are you referring to? The main criteria was looking at who posted recently about television, and get their feedback.~~
Edit: Removed their ping from the comment.
Edit: had to go through your comment history to find out. Removed their ping from the comment.
Now I've got to remove the comments so I'm not a target. Thanks for the "help".
Perhaps, because of your numerous, large magnitude, elementary, and now combinational errors, you should halt your efforts, seek the help of a small group, and only then go public.
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. - MLK Jr.
so I’m not a target. Thanks for the “help”.
Removed that too.
