    I use Sponsorblock, enjoy it, and promote it whenever appropriate… but do we really a whole community for that? What do you want to talk about it there?

      Yeah, I don’t see much point in that either. Sponsorblock related posts could be just part of a general YT related community instead. Segregating into some fringe communities is just going to further lower the content easily available, making the fediverse appear even more empty. Other instances will likely never see those tiny fringe communities because they won’t even federate until someone on that same instance subscribes to it.

      hahaha, interesting, thanks for the questions!

      do we really a whole community for that?

      Why not.

      It is just another new community like many on lemmy.

      What do you want to talk about it there?

      People can talk about SponsorBlock and the like.

        I honestly do not get it. Look at the pinned post: “Creating a new community is easy, but to get people on board, you need to create some content.”

        Please, let’s not get into this habit of creating communities without having any clear purpose. It only makes things look even deader than they already are.

          It’s because OP is a tankie — possibly a Russian operative — trying to build as many communities to moderate on lemmy as they can, so they can post propaganda in an echo chamber, ban users for wrongthink, and control the narrative.

          TIL, people follow that rule.

          I try to keep my communities active, not sure you can say that about the others though.
