Should we create content on local community if a larger, more popular, similar community exists elsewhere?

Jump

  • It does indeed, it's the little icon of two squares underneath posts.

    • Is anyone else disappointed that Lemmy is becoming the new Reddit?

    Jump

  • Get on lemmyverse.net, search for your interests, build your subscription feed. Stop looking at All, and if you do insist on doing it at least block the communities that are making you mad.

    • Artist curates 6 TTRPG/board gaming background music lists in their page.

    Jump

  • Ooh, nice

    • What is the best peice of media you ever interacted with?

    Jump

  • Games: Outer Wilds and World of Warcraft.

    The former because it's an experience unlike anything else I've ever had in gaming, and the story and meaning stays with you for years afterwards (possibly forever, but it's too soon to tell.

    The latter because the very idea of being able to really explore Azeroth after years of playing the Warcraft games was the most exciting thing ever, and the moment I first exited the orc starting area and looked at the map and saw how big the world was will never leave me.

    Books: The Hobbit. Read it when I was 4, with a not insignificant amount of help from my dad. It was fun, it was thrilling, it was scary, and it kicked off a lifelong love of reading. For an adult it's a very short read that will probably only take a couple days, which is also a big plus.

    Honorary mention to Thud! by Terry Pratchett. Really the Discworld series as a whole, but that one particular book is the absolute perfect blend of comedy, social commentary and downright horror. Again, very much stays with you afterwards.

    • Isn’t it a bit of an annoying having repeat communities across various Lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • Oh that's interesting, I wonder why I've not been seeing repeated posts. Maybe a setting somewhere, or a version difference, or we use different interfaces or whatever. Yeah I can definitely see how that would be annoying!

  • It's probably the number one feature request so if it doesn't get put into the core Lemmy UI it'll almost certainly be implemented by third party apps soon enough. Will definitely be useful, and fun for people like me who enjoy organising things into lists!

  • Yeah it's natural to be a bit wary I think just because we're not used to things working that way. Took me a little bit as well but I've been here for over a month now so settled into it nicely.

  • It's come in clutch a couple times as well when one instance is having federation issues, but I still get to see other content coming from a community on another one. There's definitely downsides though, no argument there.

    Jump

  • Honestly, I can see why some people find it annoying but in my experience so far it's been fine. Do a sweep on lemmyverse, sub to all the communities around a given topic, never really think about which one it actually came from when I see a post in my feed.

    There are some quite niche topics that have been unnecessarily split, essentially just because people want to be in charge rather than joining forces, but that's people for you and railing about it isn't gonna get us anywhere. From an end-user pov, subscribing to multiple has been fine.

    • what do you regularly buy that you feel guilty about?

    Jump

  • Am veggie. Agree.

    • What are some of your favorite communities/instances you’ve found so far on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Remember this will only find communities you're instance already knows about, so it's worth a browse through lemmyverse.net occasionally to find new ones that pop up.

    • Most overeducated cartoon writers in history

    Jump

  • Just the mention of it has ruined my night 😭

    • What words do we perceive as negative or positive in the US? (UK version inside)

    Jump

  • The UK version definitely makes a lot more sense.

    Of course, I am British so that checks out.

    • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

    Jump

  • I would like to get more crafting content on here but tbh most of my friends from that stuff still use Facebook, never mind anything newer. They'll be ready for Fedi by about 2045 if we're lucky.

    In the meantime getting to hang out with a load of likeminded nerds does in fact feel to me like a win.

    • Account delete doesn't work.

    Jump

  • This actually makes me feel a lot better about how close the delete account button is to the save button 😅

    • Having all your memories of something good wiped completely is better than never being allowed to experience it again.

    Jump

  • This just makes me even more curious to know what you were up to during the infamous Three Days.
