Hey I remember a community I liked called Mealtimevideos - not too short, not too long. Just right for lunchtime.

EDIT: https://slrpnk.net/post/2009611

EDIT: found! https://lemmy.best/c/mealtimevideos

Can no longer find this community. Is it

Deleted?
Defederated?
I am banned?

Edit: The creator/mod was banned from lemmy.world following some bot spam, and this automatically deleted the community.

Really would like if we had... discord style bots that would notify of these changes. I guess there is a modlog, but I have never looked at it.

Furthermore, I find this community was... better curated to my tastes (Video essays, urbanism youtube, and infodump videos) compared to the simple "Videos" communities.

Perhaps I'd like a c/Nebula since most of my favorite creators are now on Nebula and youtube is on a downward spiral.

EDIT: The creator / moderator of the instance replied!

Video discussion is the #1 thing I want to do on social media. I love videos and want to talk about em.

Hi it's me, the (banned) mod of !mealtimevideos@lemmy.world.
I'll link my comment from the other post on !support@lemmy.world.

Hi, I was the mod of /c/mealtimevideos, https://lemmy.world/u/PartyCat. This is an alt account.

The lemmy.world admins banned my account for some reason, I think because of something I was testing with a bot account on my own instance that went awry. After starting out here on lemmy.world I've migrated over to mostly using my own lemmy instance now that it is stable.
An unfortunate side effect of that ban is it also immediately removes any communities I had created. I can't even transfer ownership of the community to someone else. It seems only an admin can fix it.

In the meantime, there is now a !mealtimevideos@lemmy.best over on my own instance. However, I would absolutely prefer that the original community gets reinstated, whether I am mod of it or a new one is found to replace me.

This is great news for me! Subscribed!

I hope your community can rejoin the bigger instance if it means Mealtimevideos has better / easier growth.
