    Good activity on [email protected], thanks to post from @[email protected] and @UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk

    There is some progress on a potential bot, that would help for sure

    Still a bit frustrating to see that the moderation team on [email protected] isn’t doing much with that place, but that’s life I guess

      Happy to have somewhere to post film news - I get a tonne in my feed but there are so many film communities I hadn’t got round to figuring out which to commit to. You helped that choice along.

      In the end, you can only worry about your own communities.

        Yeah, I have a habit of sharing news that only really interests me. That’s why I don’t share everything I come across. A friend and I used to run a website together, and I got quite used to posting the latest film trailers and interesting news that I came across. Although sometimes I found it really hard to post news about films I didn’t really care about. I had to write something to accompany the video.

          Me too - the algorithm offers me a range of film news and I tend to only pass on stutt that interests me but I will try harder to share a wider range.

        We still managed to got [email protected] locked down, so there is an extend of influence we can have even on other communities

          Oh indeed - it’s always possible to reach out to an Admin to try and sort out any issues - they’re quite obvious though, as they have duplicate communities on the same instance.

      What about [email protected]?

        They permabanned me a while back for suggesting pinned posts in the community: https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863

        I provided more explanations in this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/13874713?scrollToComments=true

        Other people have had the same kind of treatment. I even discussed with the lemm.ee admin about this, and he told me that even though he understood I got upset, he didn’t want to interfere with community moderation.

        So we started [email protected]. Still feels a bit sour about this, I guess I was among the top contributors to [email protected]

          Well that’s disconcerting.

            It is. On the other side, [email protected] is now much more active than the other one, so at least there’s that: https://lemm.ee/communities

            As Emperor said, the best communities will survive. I don’t think their type of moderation is the best.

              Do you think at some point it would be worthwhile to start a television community on lemm.ee as well? I know right now [email protected] is for both but eventually I imagine it might be best to separate them.
