MODERATORS
i think its better to start with a join movies&tv comm, you probably want to grow it fast and managing two new comms may get to confusing/tiring for the mods, plus it will be the mods the main posters there until it gets big enough
since its a general comm, it a good idea to have it on an instance that its federated to most big intances so lemme and lemmy.ml are good choices, with lemee being a bit better because of lax moderation and i think making comms there is easier
Interesting, you have a point! I guess we could start with a common community, but named "movies@lemm.ee" and allowing both movies and tv content.
Having it names like this makes it future proof for when we'll probably eventually split and have television@lemm.ee. If we go with "moviesandtv@lemm.ee", when we'll reach the point where we need to split, that might make things confusing.
Definitely agree
its a good idea to be ready, i think admins can change the name of comms, also you should probably claim the TV comm name even if you arent going to use it at the start just to make sure.
Good point, thanks!
But please only claim it if you really have short-term plans for it. Subreddit squatting has been a persistent problem on Reddit, and I wouldn't want this to be repeated in the Lemmyverse.
Definitely! That's why I wanted another mod with me as well (see comments below). Sub squatting is a plague indeed.
