A few ideas from the top of my head - Flairs that can be allowed to filter content in a community - Major online communites (can be subreddits, or other communities) moving to Lemmy - Reddit removing old.reddit - Reddit banning people using VPNs (already happening, see [!reddit@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/reddit) ) - Lemmy becoming the reference source of knowledge for a certain domain Second point is probably crucial, but I don't see any major subreddit wanting to move here. StarTrek is the exception more that the rule.

Two examples: Saving Private Ryan - Spielberg made the whole main cast go through 2 weeks of "hell week" boot camp. He made them suffer together. Then he flew Matt Damon in on a private jet, put him up in a nice place, and made the rest of the cast fully aware of it. So there was actually real animosity towards Damon for not having suffered like they did and you could feel it in the movie. Inglorious Bastards - Quinton told Eli Roth they were going to shoot the "bear Jew" scene a certain day. He put him in the cave and filmed other things. Only to say they weren't ready for him. He did this I think 2 or 3 days in a row. When Roth finally comes out you can just see in his eyes the craziness and I can't imagine how it must have felt to finally be set free from this literal cage (cave). What other examples do you know?

I remember in Revenge of the Sith, when the actor playing Vader yells "nooooooooo", at what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the trilogy, the theater roared in laughter. Do you have other examples?

tl;dr: [!movies@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/movies) 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 ](https://lemmy.world/post/12820343)about Dune: Part II, I just wanted to share again about [!movies@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/movies). **Why another movie community?** There are a few movies communities on Lemmy, be it this one or [!moviesandtv@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/moviesandtv). 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](https://lemm.ee/c/movies) was created. Our most successful thread so far was for Dune: Part II ([direct link to the thread](https://lemmy.world/post/12466770)), 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.

I'm not gonna lie, sometimes it feels a bit lonely. I try to post on a few generic communities - [!interestingasfuck@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/interestingasfuck) - [!casualconversation@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/casualconversation) - [!movies@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/movies) - [!lego@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/lego) - [!map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz](https://sopuli.xyz/c/map_enthusiasts) - [!comicbooks@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/comicbooks) - [!avatar@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/avatar) Sometimes I can be the only poster for a few weeks. Makes me requestion the relevance of posting at all. I started posting to [!pics@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/pics) recently just because at least my posts are widely seen, and other people post there as well.

Small post to ping a few people who might have interesting insight on the questions discussed in this community.

Probably a very polarizing question. On the one hand, having most of the users and communities on LW causes technical issues (see [this post](https://lemmy.world/post/13967373)), and also gives the LW staff too much power over Lemmy as a whole. On the other hand, with 18k MAU on LW out of 47k (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance History of LW controversial decisions - when they promoted Discord as an official communication channel (https://lemmy.world/post/3478399 - since then they created a Matrix chat) - when they blocked the piracy communities (https://lemmy.world/post/13320356 ) - when they announced they might move from Lemmy to Sublinks (some comments from LW admins were quite controversial: https://lemmy.world/post/13899357 ) - when they forced the media bias fact checker bot and discarded user feedback (https://lemmy.world/post/18775630 - to be fair, they since then removed it from [!news@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/news) , it's still in [!politics@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/politics) ) - when they realized centralization of communities on LW was impacting the ability of other instances to stay up to date (https://lemmy.world/post/13967373 ) - when they updated their rules following a power trip overtake of a community (https://feddit.org/post/2308651 )
