Yeah…Honestly now that you mention it I never have looked into how they’re structured and if that may play a part in them not doing so. What I do know is that I respect their mission and want to see them stick around and reshape things to allow for more organizations like them to exist rather than get snuffed out.

- Comment on Former OpenAI board member explains why they fired Sam Altman 6 months ago:
A little surprised this hasn’t been discussed more on here…Also this is particularly relevant, if true, given Altman stepping into overseeing safety:
Toner says that one reason the board stopped trusting Altman was his failure to tell the board that he owned the OpenAI Startup Fund; another was how he gave inaccurate info about the company’s safety processes “on multiple occasions.”
Emphasis mine.
- 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. 10 months ago:
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.

Not the person you responded to, but I can try to offer some suggestions. At a glance I take it the community you’re talking about is Invincible, but I don’t see any posts where you’ve tried to direct people to the community.
I’d recommend posting to !newcommunities@lemmy.world, despite it not being new anymore, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca. So far as I can tell, these seem to be two of the larger and relatively more active communities for this.
I’d also suggest subscribing to !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml to keep an eye out for if/when people ask about shows people are enjoying or even just outright for communities for [insert show]. For the latter especially I’d also suggest subscribing to !lemmy411@lemmy.ca, which while not as active is where occasionally you’ll see people explicitly looking for communities, giving you a great opportunity to point them to your community if it’s relevant.
Beyond this, maybe cross-post some of the threads to relevant and/or broader communities, so say cross-post some of your Invincible threads (after a bit of time, so as to not seem spammy, some people browsing can be really picky about this) to other communities. For instance you might cross-post some of these to !casualconversation@lemmy.world or !general@lemmy.world or other instances’ general discussion/chat communities if they don’t have a tv/show community to cross-post to, supposing that it’s okay by their rules.
I’d recommend adjusting them a little to better fit the vibes of the relevant communities you’re cross-posting to for better reception btw, so it doesn’t feel like you’re just tossing stuff at’em. Altogether it’s admittedly a lot, but I don’t think anyone’s ever said community building is a little. Best of luck!

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.
- Comment on Recently started watching the sci-fi mystery Pluto... 1 year ago:
Awards or notable individuals involved in it, or just a poor description, yeah. Thankfully this time it let me see a description that was decent enough to catch my interest. I’ve seen an article about this show but haven’t seen much chatter on it, which is a bummer. I’m hoping it’s more to do with choosing less popular social channels than that the show isn’t being seen.
