A couple months ago, I posted here to let everyone know about the cyberpunk community on lemmy.villa-straylight.social. We were able to get it up to 1.0K subscribers before that instance suddenly disappeared with no warning.
Well, I'm trying again, this time at !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip. Once again, I'm not telling anyone to unsubscribe from this community, I'm just letting you know there are more cyberpunk communities out there on lemmy.
With !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip, I'm trying to focus more on cyberpunk as a genre of science fiction. That is, movies, anime, books, TV shows, etc. I'm not as interested in news articles about how our real world is turning into a cyberpunk dystopia. So come check us out if you're interested in discussing cyberpunk media.
