Comment on RANT : The thing i miss from reddit is that when a series or movie came out or ended there would be a big discussion threads.

It's a good time to remember all the things we consider the norm from there were nowhere to be seen during the Digg migration. Give it time for the fediverse to find its footing and its own way!

The only thing that concerns me is that lemmy downvotes/bans anyone that doesn’t match their ideology. People suck, their ideologies suck but we have to get past through that too.

  That’s worse on Reddit.

    reddit hivemind started after it got a sustainable amount of users, that can’t be said for lemmy right now.

  Come to kbin, we don't federate downvotes so if the lemmys downvote you, you can't even see it.
  
  Or try Beehaw, they don't have downvotes at all.

Yeah but we’re not talking about niche interests subs, we’re talking about discussions of movies and stuff. They’re really basic, really standard, and really popular things for an internet forum to have. They were a norm long before Digg and Reddit, and they were routinely some of the most trafficked and active posts on Reddit.

You would think that the first communities and the first norms to really take root and grow here would be the most basic. It’s kind of weird how after 7 months there just hasn’t been any real establishment of them.

  yeah, it feels like people here literally only watch star trek. recently i was in a star trek thread where someone asked for any sci-fi that wasn’t brain dead, other than star trek. out of like 10 replied i was the only one to actually give recommendations.

  There was a community like this on another instance with a focus on film/tv called Lemmy.film that had more traction, but unfortunately it was among those early instances that spun up only to abruptly fall away at some point.
  
  If I’m not mistaken I think this community may have been created in response to its loss, but it hasn’t managed to get as much activity for whatever reason. Prior to the Lemmy.film instance going away, its version of this community had around five thousand subscribers.
  
  I think what also may not help is that this community is on Lemm.ee which has stricter limits on media upload sizes, which may get in the way of sharing memes/clips from shows/movies they’re enjoying, if not from other instances then certainly from those on Lemm.ee itself.

    That is correct, but the first community was created was created during the peak of Lemmy users post Reddit exodus, we are now much less on Lemmy as a whole. !moviesandtv@lemm.ee is still the most active movie community in the whole of Lemmy.
    
    The media restriction might play a role, but I don’t remember that many videos upload from the previous version. What was there though, is the discussion threads that we are discussing here. I opened a discussion on them this morning but got that thread removed (see below). That’s a bit concerning to be honest.

    Interesting to note: if you review the mod log, that’s not the first time either. For some reason, a prior meta post three months ago was also removed, as well as an attempt at a discussion thread. Although oddly in both cases they were restored, but looking at them I don’t see any explanations provided, and incidentally they were both from you, I think.

  It’s because lemmy is just 50% of the worst possible political takes, star trek and boomer memes.
