[Discussion] About a more structured movies and TV community (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello everyone,

Opening that thread following the latest discussions on !moviesandtv@lemm.ee.

I am now suggesting to retake this community or create another one that would be more structured, especially

weekly "what have you been watching lately" thread
dedicated threads for shows and TV. Discoverability of those threads would be eased by having a research bar in the sidebar.

What do you people think? Should we use this community, or create another one? If the latter, what would be the name? /c/moviestvreviews? /c/moviestvdiscussions? Feel free to share your suggestions

So it wasn’t that there wasn’t interest in keeping the instance going from the users but if you have a single point of failure (something else we’ve worked to correct) then, eventually, it will fail. It doesn’t mean it isn’t viable.

What I meant is that at the end of the day you need at least two people interested in managing an instance on that topic.

Nobody wanted to do this so far (we barely get enough moderators already, and adminis are even fewer), but maybe this might change in the future.

In the meantime, I guess we're here.

And indeed, I had followed the whole thing on feddit.uk, it's nice that you were able to save it
