A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics,
art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc. “cosmic horror… is a subgenre of horror
fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and
incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock… themes of cosmic
dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on
humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks
associated with scientific discoveries… the sense that ordinary life is a thin
shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely
contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance
and powerlessness at the cosmic scale…” - Wikipedia For more Lovecraft &
Mythos-inspired Cosmic Horror:

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.
Ah! In that case, subbing now.
And unsubbing from Lovecraft, honestly, because Lemmy’s not big enough to divide the topic up like that.
Why not just sub to both?
I’m afraid I would spread myself thin. Two dead communities is the worst outcome.
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.
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.
Right, but subscribing to a community doesn’t obligate you to post there.
I guess. Fine, you’ve convinced me, I’ll sub to both.
