  Hello,

  It is indeed good that there are a few communities on the same topic.

  At the moment, we have (sorted by weekly activity: lemmyverse.net/communities?query=movies&order=act…)

  • !movies@lemm.ee
  • !movies@lemmy.world
  • !movies@hexbear.net
  • !moviesandtv@lemm.ee
  • !entertainment@beehaw.org
  • honorable mention for !movies@kbin.social but kbin.social is down now

  The hexbear and beehaw communities are a good example of what you mentioned.

  On the other hand, do we really need the !movies@lemm.ee, !movies@lemmy.world, and !moviesandtv@lemm.ee, on instances that are all federated with each other, and leading to a fragmentation of discussions across three places?

      I see it more as a problem that most of the users are registered on one big instance like lemmy.world, because here the users are the ones who produce the content and not the platforms.

      Yes, that’s another issue altogether but very valid indeed.

  Yea generally I agree, you kinda need the options to exist before things go to shit.

  But when it comes to communities it’s pretty easy to create new ones and advertise them whenever something goes bad. That’s basically what happened with this one after lemmy.film went down. And plenty seem to find the community fragmentation annoying, or at least used to say so. I’m not sure where the balance sits, but at least talking about the possibility of trying to organise better probably makes sense.
