Hello everyone,

The former mods of c/playstation have graciously decided to pass over the lead mod position to me so that we can continue to build a great place for PlayStation here on Lemmy.

I have posted a discussion post to the c/playstation community members which you can find here: https://lemmy.world/post/5350313

I am proposing a few questions to subscribers of Playstation and PS5:

  • Should c/playstation and c/ps5 join forces? Lemmy as a whole is still very small, and I believe having subscribers divided across two largely similar communities is doing us a disservice. A larger community means more discussions, more comments, more everything.

  • Should we remain separate? I know many of you likely joined c/playstation and c/ps5 for different reasons. Merging the communities might not be what you all want.

  • Do you have different ideas from those above? Please let us know below!

The point of this post is to hear from all of you and gather feedback and ideas before any decision is made. Currently, I plan to release a survey to formalize the options and opinions of the community before we do anything. For now, this post is to inform you all of what is happening and see what you all think.

Many of you are also aware that we previously migrated from lemmy.ml to lemmy.world. I did that migration unilaterally because I felt the community was being threatened. I do NOT intend to merge or migrate this community again without direct feedback and direction from c/PS5 subscribers as I do not want the community to lose faith in our leadership. Please let me know your thoughts below.

    Thanks for shepherding all this. Combining them seems to make sense as it builds a potentially stronger centralized user-base and should save a little on resources (your time and sanity).

      Lmao, sanity is definitely a limited resource 🤣. When we migrated from Lemmy.ml to world, I didn’t think we’d be considering a merge down the line. But the overwhelming opinion appears to be for a merge.

      Just to be clear, if we do “merge” it would just mean that my posting effort would shift to c/PlayStation. C/PS5 will stay open for the community to use if they wish, and I will remain a mod. But weekly threads and regular posts from me would shift from ps5 to PlayStation. So the community should “merge” there in order to stay up to date.
