That could be said for the original run... and the movies... and the Comedy Central run... maybe that's just what the show is... 🤔
Seriously though, I think people forget how niche Futurama was/is. It has always been a minimum of good, but only appealed to the hardcore nerds way into science, sci-fi, animation, and occasionally fantasy.
So, I am an r/calgary member. I recently made my way to lemmy.ca through the announcement on one of the Canadian subs. I suspect the people who would be interested in joining lemmy.ca could be reached through other means than posting in r/calgary.
Because, r/calgary has always been a hot mess of a sub, even when reddit was relatively new. It's such a bipolar sub.
The large conservative base will never let someone post something they think will rock the boat, so it's best to reach people through different subs. I suspect r/Alberta would be far more open to the idea of jumping ship.
