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:[email protected] [/c/[email protected]]

    Ah! In that case, subbing now.

    And unsubbing from Lovecraft, honestly, because Lemmy’s not big enough to divide the topic up like that.

          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.
