Post your thread here. Seems counterproductive to create increasingly specific communities when the ones we have are still far from oversaturated.

MODERATORS
Is a community for each series excessively specific, though?
Some of them have very different fan bases (thinking TOS vs Voyager, or anything vs the obviously superior Enterprise.)
With the size of the community here? Yes very much.
It might be worth it if here gets as big as Reddit.
For now, given the size of the user base? Yes.
Will it be forever?
I pray to the Black Mountain Koala, NO.
With a fairly small amount of people, splitting up the fanbase seems counterproductive.
Besides, us lower-decker gotta stick together, unless it's delta shift (who really think Enterprise was the peak)
Excellent points.
This instance and community it doing well, but is far from the half million base on the old place.
The mods have been really positive towards establishing new communities as volumes pick up. Many of us would like to see the one for Treklit (books and comics) split of, but we just don’t have the numbers to make those kinds of communities viable yet.
Also, there’s really benefits to a crosscutting discussion. Things are civil enough here that it’s working.
We see a lot of people here finally becoming persuaded to give shows they’d passed on a try, including Lower Decks.
Cheeky.
I dont think there needs to be a specific community for every series in the franchise. Especially given that Lemmy communities are pretty small even without the fragmentation that would cause
You make a good point.
I am always down for more Cali Class Content. C-CUBERS FOREVER.
There should be!
