Hi

Here’s a new community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

Hope some of you check it out, participate in, and enjoy it!

This is the first I’ve seen your instance, hilarious chaos, what’s it all about?

Alice@hilariouschaos.com on 18 Aug 2024 21:29 collapse

Being ridiculous lol funny shit, parody stuff, we also have serious discussions too and we are not extremely political. We’re pretty neutral.

We’ve got a horror community to if you’re interested

!horror@hilariouschaos.com

Sounds cool! Might make an account on it if I find alot of cool communities I like.

Would be good to be in a neutral space, things can get heated sometimes over here.

Thanks for the informative reply!

Sounds like a fun idea for a community!

Did you know about !lovecraft_mythos@lemmy.world?

gytrash@lemm.ee on 18 Aug 2024 19:34 collapse

Yes, I’m a member there. It was during a discussion with the creator of that group that we decided to start this one, as he wants to keep it more Lovecraft mythos orientated without the more general cosmic horror.

CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org on 18 Aug 2024 19:36 collapse

Ah! In that case, subbing now.

And unsubbing from Lovecraft, honestly, because Lemmy’s not big enough to divide the topic up like that.

bionicjoey@lemmy.ca on 19 Aug 2024 11:28 collapse

Why not just sub to both?

CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org on 19 Aug 2024 18:44 collapse

I’m afraid I would spread myself thin. Two dead communities is the worst outcome.

bionicjoey@lemmy.ca on 19 Aug 2024 19:29 collapse

What do you mean spread yourself? If a community doesn’t have activity, there’s nothing to see from it. If you’re subscribed, it’s just more stuff on your feed.

CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org on 19 Aug 2024 19:38 collapse

I comment and post as well. A lot. (Hey, you’re here too, don’t judge!)

Obviously I’m not a community on my own, but for something niche by Lemmy standards every bit of activity helps.

I wish there was no move happening at all, but if OP is telling the truth it has been decreed from up high.

bionicjoey@lemmy.ca on 19 Aug 2024 19:55 collapse

Right, but subscribing to a community doesn’t obligate you to post there.

CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org on 19 Aug 2024 20:00 collapse

I guess. Fine, you’ve convinced me, I’ll sub to both.

Icalasari@fedia.io on 18 Aug 2024 19:49 next collapse

Maybe I'll finally get to drawing some of my cosmic horrors

Mbourgon@lemmy.world on 18 Aug 2024 20:09 next collapse

There’s also !cosmichorror@kbin.social, but that one may be dead.

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works on 19 Aug 2024 03:03 collapse

Well, kbin.social is dead, so any communities on it are also dead.

Mbourgon@lemmy.world on 19 Aug 2024 03:22 collapse

Oh! I’d missed that.

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works on 19 Aug 2024 03:43 collapse

Yeah, there’s an issue with how communities are federated. If the host instance goes down, there’s nothing which reflects when viewing the community from a remote instance. Local users can continue posting, blissfully unaware that their posts aren’t being federated.

If you can still see your local lemmy.world version of !CosmicHorror@kbin.social, you might want to make one final post there directing any lemmy.world users to the new !cosmichorror@lemm.ee.

Mbourgon@lemmy.world on 19 Aug 2024 12:19 next collapse

Posted. Thanks!

It was being developed in PHP in 2023, so it’s not really a surprise it failed, in hindsight.

If you’re OOTL that’s a dead programming language more common in the Y2K era, and one that’s not remembered fondly at all.

Harvey656@lemmy.world on 18 Aug 2024 20:50 next collapse

Neat! I’ll check it out!

datavoid@lemmy.ml on 18 Aug 2024 22:24 collapse

Love the idea - I vote for less listicles however
