[Meta] Would anyone have any issue with locking this community, keeping all the posts and comments up, and redirecting to [email protected] ? (lemm.ee)

Follow up from https://lemm.ee/post/58201093

See https://lemmy.world/c/football for an example of what we would like to do.

The moderation team would stay the same. We’ll keep a pinned post here to say we are moving.

We’ll promote it on [email protected] and [email protected]

Impact for people here would be minimal. We can even ping regular posters and commenters like https://lemmy.world/post/24312613

We can always revisit later if needed.

You can vote below about this decision. ~~We’ll see what the decision is in 24h hours.~~

Vote extended to Monday evening US time

The pinned posts seem like a solvable problem: just pin fewer posts. Point taken on different mod teams.

I'm not sure a significant number of people are interested in movies and not TV, and I'm not sure how that's known except perhaps by subscriber counts (but maybe there was a poll I missed?). I would start from the assumption that there's significant overlap, but I have no real way of verifying that.

I'm not opposed to the separation of movies and TV in principle. I'm mainly just concerned about how long it would take to rebuild that community.

I am. I mostly only watch TV. I definitely know lots of people who only watch movies and only care to follow movie updates and discussions.

I mean movies isn't going anywhere, and one of the communities here - moviesandtv despite the higher subscriber numbers is kinda dead.

[email protected] recently had a thread with 274 comments: https://lemm.ee/post/58142821

So there is definitely a population. It is actually a quite popular community on its own on the whole platform with 2.28K users / week and 3.56K users / month. You can see it on https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active, it's in the top 50, and only being dedicated on movies content.

just pin fewer posts

Those are needed to have both the regular discussion thread and the permanent redirection thread to other relevant communities.

I was talking about [email protected], since the proposal is about redirecting to that community.

Rebuilding the community shouldn't take long, as we already have people here. If the content moves and we clearly point to it, people will follow
