All seems abandoned without following.

    Everyone wants lively communities, yet few people are willing to post.

    Lemmy isn’t big enough to have 1% of users be able to provide content to a passive 99%. If you want more of something, you need to make it happen. People naturally slowly become more willing to engage when there is activity, but there need to be people making a conscious effort to be the early adopters. If you want posts, make posts. It does much more good than asking why there are no posts.

    Lemmy has a fairly small userbase so there aren’t enough users for anything remotely niche. You’ll want to subscribe to the biggest movie communities you can find rather than communities specifically for horror movies.

    Note that there are often different versions of the same communities on different instances. That’s by design but often throws new users off. Subscribe to them all.

      I would prefer to consolidate these communities, but I know it’s not my call. Thankfully that’s happening somewhat organically.

    I don’t think the community here is large enough yet to support such niche topics in most cases. Better to have an active horror community to begin with, then split off of we ever get enough traction to warrant it.

    I think The Evil Dead is the most consistent horror franchise. Like Alien and The Exorcist have incredibly high highs but the lows are abhorrent.

    Edit: misread your question lol

    I think that the movies sub is a good place for horror. Yes, there are other genres there but we’re in a golden age for horror films with A24 cranking out bangers. Horror always does well at the box office so you can pretty much be guaranteed a thread for each new release.

      You may have misread it, but I agree with you. Evil Dead is one of the most consistent horror universes out there. Army of Darkness is definitely my favorite. Give me some sugar, baby.

    Isn’t there a monster movie one? There a movie community. I’m sure there are some horror fans there. Broader categories can include niche topics while benefiting from the participation of a larger audience.
