!television@piefed.social is recovering. Gaining about 15-20 subscribers a day. !obscuremusic@piefed.social about 5-10 a day.

It did, although they were only 6 episodes a season.

Another thing: Why don't creators of threads have the option to admin their own threads? It's their thread! It wouldn't be appropriate for discussion threads (for obvious reasons), but for interpersonal posts and questions, it makes perfect sense for the creator to be able to have control over what appears in the thread to keep it on topic and the trolls at bay.

How do you determine if a threads an interpersonal question and post as opposed to a general topic-related post?

This is more to do with most Lemmy users being shut-in nerds not inclined to sports tbh.

To be frank, in many cases communities were simply picked up by the wrong people who proceeded to not actively feed it with content. So they simply die.

Communities are tied to an instance. How many communities will die because lemm.ee is shutting down? There is a slightly mad rush to migrate communities already.

This is what the Piefed community migration system is designed to mitigate. It makes communities completely modular, allowing a community to move their entire posting history to another instance. As soon as it can pull subscribers automatically, it'll be as if nothing happened.

"The series is set in a nightmarish town in the United States that traps those who enter. The unwilling residents strive to remain alive while plagued by terrifying nocturnal creatures from the surrounding forest as they search for secrets hidden within the town and beyond in the hope of finding a way out.

The series centers on Boyd Stevens (Perrineau), the self-appointed sheriff and de facto mayor, and the Matthews family, new arrivals who soon discover they are trapped along with the other existing residents and must work together to stay alive and find a way to escape."

I suppose I'm misusing "high concept" a bit: "a show's premise that is easily summarized with a clear, unique, and often "what-if" scenario"

Foundation isn't really "what-if" as such. It's basically a galactic empire run by a genetic dynasty called the Cleons. The rulers are all clones of each other: Dawn, Day and Dusk. "Dawn" is the youngest and learning to rule. "Day" is the ruler. "Dusk" is the elder, and the wise advisor. When Dusk dies as the eldest example, they decant a new clone who becomes the next "Dawn" and everyone else moves up an age notch.

It's actually quite different to the books, but the genetic dynasty aspect is one of the more fascinating parts of the show.

I would say yes. It has some warts (mostly in the first season). Are you heavily into high-concept sci-fi?

Well I think it makes sense when you understand just the sheer volume of music made every year, and how people like good categorisation.

Minimal-Synth apparently.

Rateyourmusic is a great source for this stuff btw. It's publicly voted on, and full of nerds.

I find that there isn't the time for a movie to world-build in the way that a TV series can.

From my own understanding of the novels reputation: Babylon Berlin.

For future reference, you can click the url of the songs on bandcamp: https://cyborgoctopus.bandcamp.com/track/discobrain

The days of shows like that being 20 episodes a season are long gone.

There's no way Severance goes on for 11 seasons.

Severance is very much safe from cancellation if that's what you're basing it on. It's hugely successful.

Did you mean to post this somewhere else?

Yes, at a certain point even if the series is a runaway success - you run into issues with actors. Game of Thrones I believe, the main cast were getting completely exhausted by the time it ended.

Some communities seem to be going on as if it's normal. I notice this in the feeds when I find new lemm.ee communities I haven't added.
