Why not have a pinned mega thread that points to the discussion threads of the week, instead of pinning the individual threads?
As I said, I think splitting tv and movies content would also solve the issue of having too many pinned posts and content irrelevant for a part of the audience (I like movies, but don't care that much about tv).
Having a pinned post linking to other discussions threads would not achieve that
I mean what you said is fine too, I’m just throwing out suggestions.
You can easily have
Then you only have two pinned posts where people can easily find threads instead of like 4 pinned movie posts, even if you do separate the movie and TV community.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No worries, happy to discuss options :)
As I said in another comment, I just had a look at Reddit, they also have a pinned post "What is the Best Film You Watched Last Week? (08/09/23-08/16/23) ", we could do that, but in a dedicated movie community, otherwise we would have to have a similar post for tv shows and I guess that would create a similar issue to what we have now with too many pinned posts.
Long story short, I feel that movies and TV overlap but are not completely the same, and having all of that content together is not the best solution for community growth, as users tend to unsubscribe if they find too much content that is not relevant to them
Sounds good to me!
@kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film , do you have any opinion on those suggestions?
At this time, no.
I do suggest though that you kids put down your phones and go outside to play. It's a beautiful day outside! 🌅
When do you think you'll have one? Based on the comments and upvotes here, it seems like a genuine concern from the community.
Pinging @echoplex21@lemmy.world and @simple@lemm.ee as they may have missed it.
About your last sentence, why not both?
