IIRC, Catodon development is currently halted (https://catodon.social/notes/9rl77swzw25jjq7x).

Sharkey I don't know

There really is a whole *keys forks lore ha ha

To me, FireFish got replaced by IceShrimp. Good looking interface, nice features (Antenna) and regular releases.

Indeed! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/alan-rickman-got-tricked-die-hard-fall-1280396/

Unexpected !dundermifflin@lemm.ee

I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it's probably country dependent

There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

Sometimes they are identical and should merge, sometimes due to the specific audience of the instance, it's better to keep them separate.

I wouldn't suggest merging !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@hexbear.net

Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Mbin does support multireddits, but this doesn't seem to be interesting enough for people to switch to it (while Lemmy communities are fully accessible from Mbin)

Sopuli is currently 5 days behind LW: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.world&var-remote_instance=sopuli.xyz&var-remote_software=All&from=now-7d&to=now

Another reason to not centralize everything there

I still see some people posting to their local versions of the Lemmy.film communities

(!movies@lemm.ee for movie and TV shows discussions BTW)

Agree

Question for you: how are we going to attract people to Lemmy communities such as this one if all we have to offer is communities with a few OC posts and nothing else? You need content to attract content, nobody (except I guess "repost bots" like me) likes to post to empty or inactive communities.

Lemmy has a content problem, we all would like to have only OC content here, but that's not going to happen magically.

This picture is a screenshot from Twitter, so it wasn't even "OC" when it was first posted on Reddit.

Finally, comments like you just demotivates people like me who try to keep this community and others active. Quoting the second rule of this community

2 Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Good luck with your community!

Do they have a Matrix or any other chat where you could reach out to them?
