Why not join !movies@lemm.ee ? Most active community on the topic https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=movies&order=active
I understand concerns about fragmentation, but recently, I have been more and more in favour of "why not both" as an approach. Basically: One de-facto "central" community, and many local communities. Main reason being, that this will help the Fediverse grow without losing it's "soul" so to speak. Where - hopefully eventually - there will be those central communities with a reddit-like experience for the topic, and then also local ones, where smaller communities around the topic, without the traps of large, "mainstream" communites, can form.
There are currently around 5 posters about movies on the whole platform
I see where you come from, but splitting a tiny group of posters across different communities doesn't seem the best approach at the moment. Also, it forces people to follow the three communities to see all the discussion happening, that's an issue that's regularly brought up by people criticizing Lemmy
Now that you mention it, there are a couple of us posting regularly on !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world and !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee and I sometimes post to !martialartsmovies@lemm.ee , !badmovies@lemmy.world , and !cultfilms@lemux.minnix.dev. If you add them all together you have a pretty vibrant community.
Maybe we should do that thing where we link to each other's communities in the sidebar, like a "movie ring" or something?
something like this perhaps https://piefed.social/f/movies
