I noticed I wasn’t able to find my community on your communities search, because no one on your instance has searched it yet. I’d appreciate if someone could give my instance a search just to federate it on your instance :) And of course, sub if you’re interested in cinematography, movies, behind the scenes, etc.

!cinematography@lemmy.world

If you happen to be a 1st Assistant Camera in the film industry, I’ve also made a community for us focus pullers (but all camera department are welcome)

!focuspuller@lemmy.world

Thanks for reading :)

    Some people say that your instance doesn’t matter, but I wouldn’t want my username to be affiliated with something I’m not aligned with.

    For example, I wouldn’t want my username to be @phloatingman@somehategroupinstance.com

    Having yourusername@instance.com acts like an advertisement for that particular instance wherever you comment on the fediverse.

    So if you had @ShallowFocus@lemmy.film , a reader right off the bat would see that you’re into film and might want to check out the other communities on that specialized instance.

    Whereas @ShallowFocus@lemmy.world it might not be as evident. They might think you’re into photography instead since lemmy.world is more of a general purpose instance.
