Interesting, you have a point! I guess we could start with a common community, but named “[email protected]” and allowing both movies and tv content.

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.

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

probably too many lobby groups backing them, which pushes them to stay until death intead of just picking a succesor and retiring

lemm.ee federates both world and beehaw and i have seen a few users from there so its probably fine

its going to be cool when hexbear federates with others instances, for like 2 years we have been a small socialist reddit

they are gonna do a whitelist intead of a blocklist like other instances, they will probably federate with lemmygrad and lemmy since they have good relations with the modteam of both, any other is a bit of a hard tell

undefined> The process was very chaotic, and as a result, the fork of Lemmy used for Hexbear.net will likely never be capable of federating with the wider network of Lemmy instances

actually hexbear is currently on Lemmy v0.17.0, when they update to version 0.18.0 they will be able to federate

a month ago it was like around 400-500 online users, today is 2300

I would like to see r/stunfisk, its the main pokeon subreddit of the smogon single battles format, but it would be really cool if the pokemon subs would get together and make their own lemmy instance

its been great, i been posting in the Hexbear instance for like 2 years, i decided to make an account here while i wait for HB to federate with the rest of lemmy
