Hello everyone,

The former mods here have graciously decided to pass over the lead mod position to me so that we can continue to build a great place for PlayStation here on Lemmy. If you don't know who I am, I am the lead mod over on !ps5@lemmy.world and I have been building a place for PS on Lemmy since just before the Reddit fiasco.

I am very active in the community and post regularly/daily about PS5 and PS news over on c/ps5. My co-mod over on c/PS5 (@slimerancher@lemmy.world) is also the lead mod on !nintendo@lemmy.world and they have done a tremendous effort building that community large and wide!

All this is to say...or rather ask you all a few questions:

  • Should c/playstation and c/ps5 join forces? Lemmy as a whole is still very small, and I believe having subscribers divided across two largely similar communities is doing us a disservice. A larger community means more discussions, more comments, more everything.

  • Should we remain separate? I know many of you likely joined c/playstation and c/ps5 for different reasons. Merging the communities might not be what you all want.

  • Do you have different ideas from those above? Please let us know below!

The point of this post is to hear from all of you and gather feedback and ideas before any decision is made. Currently, I plan to release a survey to formalize the options and opinions of the community before we do anything. For now, this post is to inform you all of what is happening and see what you all think.

Edit:

Here is a link to the similar discussion post I posted over on !ps5@lemmy.world

My completely unqualified opinion:

The main community should be the all encompassing community. Because whenever a more niche community gets excited for the next game or whatever in line, say like the battlefield series, either the sub is going to want to talk about it or everyone has to move to another place.

Playstation should be the main place, while ps5 just has a post saying please go join the Playstation community. Then just have everyone tag what console or whatever they want to talk about.

Everyone's too divided now. Let's not divide ourselves even with the things we all love.

Great feedback. I believe tags are in the works for Lemmy as a whole. Once it is available we can utilize them to help with filters and to categorize content.
