With lemmy.film down, where should we host the new movies community? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Update: requested [email protected] :

Hello everyone,

For people interested in movies, you may have noticed that [email protected] is now gone, unfortunately.

The community was quite active, especially with the movies discussion threads, it would be nice to create a new one elsewhere.

As Lemmyworld and lemmy.ml already have most of the active communities, I thought it would be interesting to have this one (maybe two, one for movies, one for TV) on lemm.ee ? In a similar way that [email protected] is a popular community on sh.itjust.works (thanks @[email protected] for posting there)

What do you think?

Oh damn, did lemmy.film shut down? That's a major bummer. I really liked the Movies and TV community.

As Lemmyworld and lemmy.ml already have most of the active communities, I thought it would be interesting to have this one (maybe two, one for movies, one for TV) on lemm.ee ?

That's exactly why I chose to post articles in [email protected] over the movies/tv communities on lemmy.world. I try to support communities in smaller instances by posting relevant content but I guess this is just an inherent risk of lemmy.

Would you like to become a mod with me? I don't expect that much work, movies are usually not a very controversial topic

Yeah, sure. I'd be happy to help out.

I think Lemm.ee would be a fine alternative but infosec.pub may be worth considering too. The owner/admin runs multiple instances across the range of fediverse services (including the popular infosec.exchange mastodon server) so I think the risk of it abruptly shutting down is extremely low.

Great!

Yes, Jerry is doing a great job with his services. The only issue I see is that with the "infosec" in the name, the domain might be blocked by company firewalls as they would tag it under "hacking". I know they run a mbin instance, Fedia.io, but I would rather go with Lemmy as Kbin/Lemmy compatibility can be finicky.

What do you think?

I hadn't considered that but if you think that's a realistic possibility then I wouldn't have an issue resettling on lemm.ee. Either option would be fine. I mostly suggested .pub because I know the infosec family of instances are well run and dependable.

I'm pretty sure I had that issue at some point when I wanted to check a community on infosec.pub and then got that kind of block.

Alright, I just noticed the community already exists, here it is [email protected].

I requested it in [email protected]
