[Meta] !movies@lemmy.world mod removing comment suggesting consolidation of that community with this one as their moderation community is spread too thin, thankfully modlog is public (reddthat.com)

Link to the community: !movies@lemmy.world

Edit: for context, I first sent a DM to the single mod asking them if we could consider merging communities (basically my comment below). They ignored me but opened the thread.

My comment

Should we maybe consider merging this one with !movies@lemm.ee ? We have regular pinned posts and movie-specific discussion threads over there, and that community has been more active than this one lately, be it weekly or monthly (1.54k vs 1.32k and 2.92k vs 2.51k). The moderation team has several people, including movie enthusiasts who post there regularly. We had our first AMA a while ago a few weeks ago: https://lemm.ee/post/31335226 And if people ask why we wanted to have a community on another instance than Lemmy.world, the large majority of active communities are already on LW (https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active), it seems better to spread communities a bit.

Reason for removal

Not currently considering this action Maybe in the future.

I guess I'm just a bit sad that they removed the comment altogether instead of letting it there and considering a discussion.

I've heard several times that Lemmy should consolidate communities (like what happened with !mapporn@lemmy.world and !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz recently), but I guess it's easier said than done.

In the meantime, congrats for making this community the most active one!

Maybe, yea ... I don't know if the mods there would be happy for it to become a general community discussion/promotion space ... but I've thought from the beginning that that was coming as a natural evolution anyway. There should at least be a sibling community for discussing communities (though perhaps on a more neutral instance given that lemmy-world have banned some communities AFAIU?)

I posted there in the past following the !moviesandtv@lemm.ee drama, including links go the modlog and everything, the mods let the post untouched:

We can always give it a try and move if needed.
