BarbarianTake my upvote!
manitcor!remindme 7 days
gotta have a milestone to see where my instance is based on this. will the meme be milk or wine?
Is there already a remindme bot?
i wish, ill be working on bots soon, one of the main reasons i fired up my own instance.
Ok what if you made a community, posted in it twice a day since the shutdown and now feel like ur talking to much?
Maybe no one likes the Chiefs?
Just kidding, I know nothing about sports.
šš
Lol more likely Iām not good at generating good content. I was above a lurker on Reddit but not by much. Iām just trying here cuz spez pissed me off.
Omg a chiefs fan here already!? MAHOMIE!! I'm not the best content creator for the topic but I'll def join and go up vote everything!!
Happy ending!
Ok what if you made the community and posted in it twice daily and now feel like you are talking to yourself?
Action Eventually someone will roll in and then you'll just be talking a lot at them.
If you're lucky, they might even talk back.
What is your topic? I'm shit for OC but I am a slut for commenting (I'll even argue with you and get you nostalgic for Reddit if that's what you're into). You just gotta pick one of my ADHD hyperfixations.
I can generate engagement like a crazy person. Too much even. I have too many opinions and you people are my only outlet outside of my partner.
Kansas City Chiefs is the community I started here. But I was active on Reddit in that, Kerbal Space Program, Baduk (Go), and space and science communities.
Our overlaps are currently only space and science. Go as in the game? I think I can get into it, I'm just scared of the rules. Seems complicated. How can I get decent at it so that I can kick my partners butt? He kicks my butt at chess because he's been playing for years but he vaguely knows about go but never played. Nothing would please him more than if I learned it decently and destroyed him at it. Im not lying, he loves when I'm randomly good at something because he loves when I become his main opponent, he'd get obsessed with the game.
And if he gets obsessed with it, he floods me with random information about it and then eventually I use that info as ammunition to talk shit on the internet. I've played maybe 5 games of foosball in my life but I could probably get into a fight to the death in the comments over Tornado vs Garlando vs Leonhart because my partner just infuses that information into me.
All this to say is that I'd love to comment and I can talk about any fucking thing. This is my third paragraph and I've said nothing of value. It's a gift. But someone needs to sell me on Go.
https://online-go.com/learn-to-play-go
Is a great starting resource. I also came from playing chess first and most chess enthusiasts do love go once they learn it. Once you play through those instructions your best bet is to play some 9x9 until the rules click and then go up to 13x13 and then 19x19.
There are only three rules so itās one of those easy to learn but hard to master things. If you think itās something you want to learn after going through that link and playing a bit message me and I can play a teaching game with you on online-go.com one teaching game with a person walking through the game usually helps a lot then youāll be all set to destroy your partner at a game he will hopefully become obsessed with.
Thank you for the resource. I'll give it a "Go" tomorrow. If it makes my brain monkeys dance, you're gonna be in luck (at least from the perspective that I'm gonna be filling at least one of your hobbies with endless comments and engagement).
For a successful community online you need two types of people: content creators and fillers. I'm a filler. I don't provide value 99% of the time but I can generally keep a discussion going for long enough to make communities busy enough to attract content creators. I know people are pessimistic about Lemmy but if just a few fillers start passionately bickering in the comments, this whole project is fine.
Anyway I'm gonna tell you if I like Go. I might also take you up on the match when I'm comfortable with the rules. I'll do my best, but the ADHD really runs this ship and I just do what the dopamine tells me. Wish you well in your Kansas City journey - not even sure what sport that is.
Yoooooooo! Another Baduk liker out here in the wild!
There are dozens of us! Dozens! Life was busy for a few months so I havenāt played much recently so I probably lost 2 ranks as it goes but I always come back to it.
Hahaha, I've never played seriously enough to get all that good. I've always been very firmly double digit kyu, but I love getting in a game when I can find someone who will agree to play. I've been getting more into online play, but I used to do pretty much exclusively physical games.
Kyoyeou (Ki jÉŹ juĖ)I love your profile picture
Is there some place to advertise new communities?
Ironically the first one is giving me a "couldn't find community" error, but the second one is good.
Thanks for the links!
That's because nobody on your instance has subscribed to it yet. Take the text ([email protected]), and in the communities page, paste that into search. Switch from "Communities" to "All" in the search options, then you can click through and subscribe.
Thanks.
Because of the way Lemmy displays new replies, it looks like you're calling be a barbarian at the end of each of these, haha!
Cool thanks!
NymphioxetineOh god I feel called out.
Kalkaline I got yelled at on Mastadon for saying refugee, apparently it's offensive to people from war torn countries.
mastadon.social?
https://queer.party/@njion/110533346803997348 it was here. I don't know exactly how it all works yet, but I was looking at a fediverse all feed
i dont see it, i do roll my eyes everytime is see people suggesting that we are somehow required to adopt the culture and ideology of the developer of a project.
its like people are really seeing opensource for the first time and are applying broken logic
It can make sense when the project is small. The developer of a project can have a large voice and you might have to work with them. The massive growth of Lemmy and the federated nature makes the issue moot.
to a degree, lots of people stopped caring about linus's opinion on things shortly after compiling the kernel the first time. A more recent project had its creator run out due to him controlling the PR list.
at the scale of the fediverse the attitude really does surprise me.
Is it really? I feel like people in war torn countries have more important shit to care about. This might be another instance of "terminally online person being offended on someone else's behalf"
AstrovenatorWow it really IS like Twitter!
FlaxPickerUs lemtards over here donāt know how to behave.
Best analogy hahahahahahaha
Really makes it obvious how much content gets reposted by bots on that site. There really isnt as much original content being posted there as you might think.
I feel like this is more a user/uncertainty issue right now. Reddit still has a lot more users than Lemmy, I feel like a lot of communities are spread across different instances (am I saying that right?), so no ones knows which will be 'the main one', and I think a lot of users are still looking around, watching and learning how Lemmy works, before fully committing and posting like they did on Reddit. I know I am.
That's the boundary to break I guess - it really doesn't matter which instance you're on; the communities are all the same.
And before someone says 'but the duplicate communities' point me to an example and I'll tell you which one will last to become the community. (Or I'll point out the quadruplicate sub-reddit equivalents.)
How about /c/[email protected] or /c/[email protected]?
The lemmy.world one.
First day was hard and I was trying to check what's going on in the remaining subreddits, but now on day 2 I don't even wanna go there and prefer lemmy for sure. It feels more pure here.
SousaThis, first day was just a quick learning curve. I feel like I can navigate lemmy better now. Also, lemmy looks more promising in the long run. Let's say spez goes back and even makes the API FOC (impossible). He'll still plan some major bs in the future. The whole lying and now insinuating users would attack employees over a logo is just too far. He showed no love for the community nor for the contributors of reddit's success.
Unless lemmy is dead, I won't be returning to reddit.
I checker out reddit, most of it now is suggestion of the subreddits still open..
Ace_AddamsActually doing well, Lemmy seems like my kinda place.
Me too, not too crazy busy yet, but basically that Reddit feel from 10 years ago for me when I started using it.
Dalek ThalNot sure how I got here though. It has something to do with Spider-Man, I think...
I think a group of guys like us should team up. Could do some good....
Im pretty happy here so far, Ive even replaced my RIF app space with Jerboa.
I did the same
VaridenI am still learning
i adore this old meme.
Me too I think I am getting old.
TacoThrash3rI almost woke my family up. š„
AlicatThis is me.
Long live the federation!
The water level in those bags has always bothered me
TroyIf the bags were freshwater, they'd float on saltwater. Not to that level -- just barely floating...
But the fish are saltwater fish, so the bags need to be saltwater too, for them to survive. So the water levels should be identical or very close to the harbour.
Yeah, it's bothered me too ;)
What is the air was hotter then outsider? There would be a greenhouse effect probably...
