Hey @BrikoX@lemmy.zip, thanks for making this community! I only just now found it. I'm the guy who was posting daily on villa-straylight in an attempt to grow !cyberpunk (I was identity-disc on that server). I'm still annoyed that just as I got the community to 1k subscribers, the server disappeared. I was really enjoying those conversations too.

Anyway, I don't know if we'll be able to grow this community as much as villa-straylight (that was during the peak reddit exodus so there were more people checking out Lemmy) but I'll post things here if I come across anything. Hopefully we can help make this community more active than !cyberpunk@lemmy.ml. 😜

In the meantime, can I suggest adding [Movie] and [TV] to your post prefixes? And maybe [Question] or [Discussion]? I know things don't really need to be tagged, but I do like the idea of prefixing posts.

After lemmy.villa-straylight.social shut down I picked lemdro.id at random as my new instance. But it seems lemdro.id has trouble federating with this instance so my original reply to this post never sync'd. Now I've created a local account on lemmy.zip so hopefully my posts won't disappear.

Anyway, I'm the person who was trying to grow !cyberpunk@lemmy.villa-straylight.social with an attempt to post something every day, just to keep the community active. I was identity-disc on that instance. And I'm still bitter about the fact that the instance disappeared just as we hit 1.0k subscribers.

So now I'm trying to do the same thing here. Again, I'm trying to post something every day. Not every post will be gold but my goal is really just to show constant activity. I'm trying to post a mix of movies, anime, tv, games, whatever. And I'm trying not to re-use any old posts from villa-straylight.

One thing I don't care about is news articles. Or specifically, what I consider the articles that belong on r/aboringdystopia. I'm interested in cyberpunk as a genre, not the real world going to shit. So I might post news articles about upcoming games or movies but I'm not going to post news articles about whatever stupid thing Amazon did recently that feels dystopian.

@BrikoX@lemmy.zip, I assume you're good with this? I probably could've sent this as a private message but I might as well introduce myself at the same time with this post. And thanks for making this community!
