Indeed, but then should we have a community for Amazon Prime, Max, Peacock, etc. ?
There is a balance between too generic communities and overspecialized communities. The activity on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee seems to indicate that having one community is enough
Thank you for your comment. !Netflix@sopuli.xyz hasn't been active for almost a month, I'll probably post something there tomorrow to redirect to !showsandmovies@lemm.ee
Because the current Lemmy userbase can only sustain a certain level of community specialization.
People are not going to subscribe to 5 different communities to talk about TV shows.
Cooking communities consolidated a while ago
Until such time that Lemmy’s user growth is at a point that it can support some of the smaller, niche cooking communities, these communities will be locked.

Hello,
Why not join !showsandmovies@lemm.ee ?
2600 monthly active users, and encompasses all TV shows rather than just Netflix
Edit: also, you might want to have a look at the impact of your post about Photon on the Photon dev: https://sopuli.xyz/post/20103052/13493250

Because sometimes a more specific community is better for certain things than a broad sweeping community.

I agree. We first need to get the broader communities with activity before they can branch out. If things are too spread out, it will limit growth

How do you even KNOW about that??? It has no mods, no posts, no users in the last year.

@TheArstaInventor@sopuli.xyz, any reason to remove the post to the !showsandmovies@lemm.ee Best of 2024 post?
