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 don’t see the current situation with the communities as being too bad for now. 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. So if lemmy.world is down then it is immediately more noticeable in comment/posting activity compared to if only its communities were down.

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