I was also thinking this the whole way through 😄

This episode was so much fun!

I'll admit, reading the premise ahead of time (by accident because Liftoff app doesn't do spoiler tags yet oops) had me worried as I find a lot of attempts at "humour" in modern Trek tend to try way too hard and are just uncomfortable to sit through. But this was genuinely funny! Turns out Ethan Peck has great comedic timing, and Pike's background antics and reactions were fabulous. The dynamic between T'Pring's parents was a bit stereotypical but also extremely relatable.

Also really liked what they did with Nurse Chapel in this episode. Her pain and desperation helped balance the episode and make it something more than just funny hijinks. The feelings of regret and survivor's guilt, the desperate need to fix something that wasn't even your fault, grief over losing (at least partially, in this case) someone you love. So many complex emotions shown on screen at once, all by one character, and entirely believably, was not something I expected from a "haha funny Spock" episode.

I used to get told off for doing this at a call centre job because it was too informal. Definitely would not fly in a first contact situation!

Yay! I picked Liftoff because it was so much better looking than all those other harsh black apps. This is very happy news to wake up to 🥳

On desktop it does look like you're viewing other people's saved posts, but it's actually always just showing your own. The app you're on maybe has the same weirdness.

Given that one of those resignations talks about Beehaw like it's a separate platform entirely, I think it's just some good old fashioned misunderstanding. Looks like they've set up separate user accounts on Lemmy and Kbin too.

You guys are replying to a 2 year old comment. Very curious to see if they've quit by now!

I use it for chatting about game dev and fibre crafts mostly, plus live convos around big events like the Super Bowl or Eurovision. Not sure what it's like for other topics but it's plenty active in those! Even randomly ran into someone irl from the #Eurovision feed, that was pretty fun :D

Sorry I should've been clearer there. I was specifically asking about the process for communities hosted on sh.itjust.works :)

Although as someone who enjoys being both comfy AND snug I have to say your instance name is marvellous!

Select "undetermined" and "english" in your profile language settings. Plus whatever else you speak, obviously.

Well I started using Lemmy in early June, so that was a change.

Don't really see many people there chatting in Lemmy threads so that's not a noticeable difference. Really the only thing is that some of the ex-Redditors decided to go with Mastodon instead so between them and the new Twitter meltdown at the same time we had a decent amount of new people.

Mastodon is, for the most part, pretty good about educating new users on the culture but obviously for it to stay that way we all need to take part in it, so one weekend in particular I was basically hopping between answering "how do I find communities?" threads on here and "why should I bother with content warnings and alt text?" threads on there for two days straight!

People have mostly settled in both places now, though.

All joking aside, yes you should absolutely lead with this.

Speak for yourself, I've given up and gone in a bubblebath.

You can see the instance while actually commenting as long as you remember to scroll up. But for people with multiples in the same instance it could do with being a lot clearer that's all.

(no shade, love the app, dunno why I feel I need to make this disclaimer but here we are)

This would be very useful. Or at the very least an indication of which account you're about to comment with would definitely save some embarrassing miscommunications

I didn't really do Twitter but was big into Instagram for a while until the whole thing started with them pushing reels, so honestly Mastodon is more of a replacement for IG in my particular case. I can upload images, so there's no real need to keep a separate Pixelfed. Pixelfed users who just want to see images can in fact follow people on Mastodon, and just get their images. I can also follow people on Pixelfed and see them in my Mastodon feed. So that covers all the bases really.

Still use Discord plenty, never really had a problem with it although I do use it for its intended purpose rather than trying to turn it into a forum which is where a lot of servers seem to go wrong.

Don't use FB, although I understand Friendica is the main replacement software for that.

Been considering looking into PeerTube but it seems best for very short videos just due to file storage. Mine tend to be more around the 15-20 minute mark on average so not sure that would work.

feddit.uk is all primarily UK stuff, I think there are Australia and NZ instances too.

Personally as a British person I hope to avoid as much UK news on here as possible so it's nice of them to keep it mostly to one instance (big exception for UK content is UKCasual on .world, it's nice having that hosted away from all the politics etc on .uk)

I believe there's a more recent instance positioning itself as gaming themed but the name is escaping me, might be searchable on lemmyverse. Update: it was lemmy.zip

My other account is mostly concerned with crafts, so a craft focused instance would've been nice. But it's sort of already too late as small communities for various niche hobbies are becoming established and trying to disrupt that just for the sake of tidiness seems silly.

Once we have some kind of community grouping feature I think this will be even more of a non-issue than it already is.

Had it for ages but it's just been sitting in the "to play" list. Perhaps this a sign it needs to be bumped up!

I will literally never forgive them for shutting Wave down and will complain about it at any given opportunity.

On Lemmy it is literally called cake day in your profile. Admittedly derivative, but I like cake so whatever.
