Even since lemmy.villa-straylight.social instance which hosted the !cyberpunk@lemmy.villa-straylight.social closed without any notice, it created a vacuum around cyberpunk content. I’m hoping to change that.
I was never an active poster there, but it was one of my favorites communities, so I wish to give it a new home here.
If you are interested in joining and helping with shaping it, message me and we can talk.
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!
Hey! Sorry to join this thread late, but I’m super glad to see you over here! I never knew why the other community died suddenly (didn’t realize it was the instance itself) and I’m really glad you’re still around and that there’s a new cyberpunk spot to follow the old one
I’ll try bringing over some of my previous book recs and maybe a couple panels of art from a rural cyberpunk comic I’ve been working on. Glad to have this community back
That’s great news and I’d love any help you can give! Also, I’m glad you found this new community. Your username is one of the few I actually remembered and was half-tempted to DM you to tell you about this community but I didn’t want to make it weird by begging you to come back. 😀
Welcome, and I’m definitely okay with this.

Real world news is outside this community scope. Cyberpunk is science-fiction, fiction part is mandatory.
Cool.
