I would really love to see a /c/moviestvdiscussions explicitly. In an ideal world you’d see more direct support from existing movie/tv communities as most of those mods do not seem interested in the extra work. Otherwise, I feel like direct competition with the larger communities will act to everybody’s detriment. That said, I did suggest this to @Djinn@lemm.ee and it looked like they simply downvoted and moved on, so that is obviously not ideal. On the other hand, a larger contingent making this suggestion may convince them.

Another path forward may be to reach out to !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemmy.ml for links in order to drive traffic here. The former of the two seems to have previously hosted such threads but appears to have stopped (maybe due to the moderation requirements?). If done correctly, this may leave the fediverse more connected while improving the overall quality and levels of content on each community. Given enough momentum !moviesandtv@lemm.ee may find it difficult to remain in opposition to this project.
