Was looking at the feed here and I see a bunch of discussion thread posts. Would it be better to have one stickied post with all recent discussion threads within it? Feel like it’ll let other posts on the community get more visibility.

I mean what you said is fine too, I’m just throwing out suggestions.

You can easily have

  • NEWLY RELEASED MOVIES OF THE WEEK (list movie names)
  • TV DISCUSSION OF THE WEEK

Then you only have two pinned posts where people can easily find threads instead of like 4 pinned movie posts, even if you do separate the movie and TV community.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No worries, happy to discuss options :)

As I said in another comment, I just had a look at Reddit, they also have a pinned post "What is the Best Film You Watched Last Week? (08/09/23-08/16/23) ", we could do that, but in a dedicated movie community, otherwise we would have to have a similar post for tv shows and I guess that would create a similar issue to what we have now with too many pinned posts.

Long story short, I feel that movies and TV overlap but are not completely the same, and having all of that content together is not the best solution for community growth, as users tend to unsubscribe if they find too much content that is not relevant to them

Sounds good to me!

@kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film , do you have any opinion on those suggestions?

[–] kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At this time, no.

I do suggest though that you kids put down your phones and go outside to play. It's a beautiful day outside! 🌅

When do you think you'll have one? Based on the comments and upvotes here, it seems like a genuine concern from the community.

Pinging @echoplex21@lemmy.world and @simple@lemm.ee as they may have missed it.

About your last sentence, why not both?
