Voyager was set up to test the app, but that doesn't mean other clients can't use it.
Enterprise is full of random test communities that have many been populated by bots. I don't understand how something like https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/c/mels_test (to pick a random one) isn't useful for what you're trying to do.
I think https://enterprise.lemmy.ml is specifically for testing. It's not typically federated with other instances, so it won't be a problem if your bot goes crazy again.
The only thing I’m not sure about is who is the host instance? My understanding is that the host instance is that which the user belongs to.
That's my understanding too - if you're a lemm.ee user, and you want to upload to pics@lemmy.world, then when you post, you're actually posting to lemm.ee/c/pics@lemmy.world. This rule change means that - for the moment - lemm.ee users can't upload any images directly when making a post, irrespective of where the community is. They'd have to use an external host like imgur.
Rolling Stone estimated that it was 80% done before Amy Seimetz left, which is still a awful lot to just throw away. I'm not sure I'd want to watch the original version, but I'd happily watch a documentary about what went wrong.
Apple do seem to take some online criticism of their shows onboard. I assume this is why I've seen comments that season 2 of Invasion is remarkably different from Season 1.
For Foundation, things like Gaal's redundant voice-overs are largely gone. There's less of noticeable difference in quality between Trantor and Foundation (in that, for me, the outer planets stories aren't as bad, but the empire stories aren't as good).
I like the new, sweary, bantering, characters, and that Jared Harris is given a bit more to do. That said, I've not read the books, but even I can tell that the the radical things they're doing with the Demerzel character are unlikely to be popular.
An interesting thing about Lemmy is that if you delete your comment, it also nukes every comment underneath it. So if you say something, and then people are giving you a hard time about it, and then you go out for a walk and are still annoyed about it, you can self-destruct and take them with you (this isn't based on a true story of course, but if it was, I'd say it's terrible in that it discourages engagement and deletes someone else's actually-correct info, but it's a good way to get over it all)
On this day several years ago, the Empire was defeated thanks to the heroic efforts of Commander Ezra Bridger, who sacrificed himself to liberate our world.
This monument we dedicate here today stands in recognition of Commander Bridger and the rebel leaders who fought so valiantly on our behalf.
May their courage and commitment never be forgotten.
It's maybe different for VFX, but I think for writers and actors, because the work is so erratic anyway and 'cos studios are trying to turn everything into a gig rather than a job, the WGA and SAG are ultimately the main providers.
I heard that Unions are especially important in the US because it's how many workers get their healthcare (which is easy to overlook if you're not from there, and aren't really familiar with the Private system)
Fairly unusual to see a poster where the gun is pointed directly at the viewer (it's more commonly positioned at a bit of an angle, if not completely to one of the sides.)
Favourite ship names: Apart from the obvious - the "Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath", I like the ship names that are references to other ship names, including "Me, I'm Counting" and "I Blame Your Mother"
