tl;dr: !movies@lemm.ee is a complementary community mostly focused on discussions rather than news
Hello everyone,
As I did a few weeks ago to share the discussion thread about Dune: Part II, I just wanted to share again about !movies@lemm.ee.
Why another movie community?
There are a few movies communities on Lemmy, be it this one or !moviesandtv@lemm.ee. They are mostly focused on movies news, but don’t have much discussion threads about current movies.
On top of that, as Lemmy doesn’t have unique URLs for posts, there is no way to just have a megathread pinned with links to discussion threads, as those would only work for people on one instance.
Which is why !movies@lemm.ee was created. Our most successful thread so far was for Dune: Part II (direct link to the thread), and we hope to have other insightful discussions about movies in the future.
Some time ago someone expressed that one of the things they were missing from Reddit was being able to go to a discussion thread after having watch a movie to read other opinions on it, we are trying to fill that gap.
Have a good day.
just had a glimpse and there are also tv shows discussed? why not just move the discussions to the other communities, like moviesandtv? so we get a much larger community to interact with, instead of scattering all across.
Hello,
The moderation team of !moviesandtv@lemm.ee didn’t really want managed discussion topics on their community. I suggested them a while ago and got permanently banned.

Seems strange though, !movies@lemm.ee should work
