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 &

Here’s a new community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.
Hope some of you check it out, participate in, and enjoy it!
Yeah, there’s an issue with how communities are federated. If the host instance goes down, there’s nothing which reflects when viewing the community from a remote instance. Local users can continue posting, blissfully unaware that their posts aren’t being federated.
If you can still see your local lemmy.world version of !CosmicHorror@kbin.social, you might want to make one final post there directing any lemmy.world users to the new !cosmichorror@lemm.ee.

Posted. Thanks!
It was being developed in PHP in 2023, so it’s not really a surprise it failed, in hindsight.
If you’re OOTL that’s a dead programming language more common in the Y2K era, and one that’s not remembered fondly at all.
