It had a few niche communities I would occasionally post to after the Reddit exodus but a couple months later I would post there and get no responses or votes. Going to lemmy.film now gives me an error message. Did they decide to shut it down or combine with another instance similar to FMHY? I am curious if they gave some kind of statement.

I am also curious what happened when I post into their communities now. It still gives me the option and I can see prior posts. How does that work with post federation?


Edit: Is there a good community for lemmy specific questions by the way? I know there are a few AskLemmy’s but some say they are not for support and redirect to support communities but I am not sure if they are specific to that instance.

    You could make a film community or look for an alternative film community hosted in Lemmy.

    Ask Lemmy is for questions.

        I was answering the last part of op’s post… Asking if there is a place to ask question on Lemmy. It would of been redundant of me to suggest “no stupid question”

      I am not looking to fill those niches. I was curious because it was quite popular a while back.

        I had posted there and checked after seeing your post. Sad to see it go.
