  • As someone that likes to do a lot of scrolling, I’m also running into the same problem. There really just isn’t enough content here for it yet. There’s already a pretty small over all amount of users posting, and people have likes and dislikes and tastes and vibes, so out of that small amount, there’s only so much to interact with. Like, there’s a fair amount of content in ask and chat style communities and TV communities but no one likes everything or thinks the same topics are interesting.

    So it really just needs more. So that there’s more of the same types of people watching the same shows and interested in the same topics. It doesn’t have to be packed in here, it could just do with a little more of something for everyone. It would’ve been nice if there were more than two people discussing Harley Quinn season 5 for example.

    On Reddit I could spend all day every day interacting with my particular interests without ever feeling like I’m being a nuisance or repeating myself. It’s nice having a smaller crowd but I’d like something between this and Reddit.







  • I feel like maybe some more context I could add is that we have “tomato sauce” that’s pretty similar to ketchup. Comes in a bottle to pour from and is one of the most regularly used sauces. Still processed I guess but thicker and better tasting and definitely not as sweet as the American stuff. As opposed to tomato paste or tinned tomato or whatever.



  • One thing I’m starting to find though is that the yellow emojis are maybe looking a little too much like Reddit style awards at first glance, or at least making me think of them. Might look for purple alternatives or something else that looks a bit more toned down along with a dark theme.

    I like your idea. Seems like a good way to be reminded of something random and get a laugh while you’re scrolling.


    • Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they’ve added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn’t excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it’s not because we’ve perfected them or some shit, it’s because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.



  • Young Justice rocks. I love the stuff that showcases a little bit of everything in the universe.

    Currently distracting myself with a rewatch of Batman Brave and the Bold while eating and stuff. If you’re ever in the mood for something funnier, would recommend. Even if you’re sick of Batman, this is a fun version that’s friends with everyone and isn’t an asshole. And there’s appearances from everyone from Kamandi the last boy to Doom Patrol.

    Personally I’m looking forward to that same kind of idea where everything exists in the same universe from Gunn’s take on things. And hopefully not counting my chickens before they hatch. But I get the idea that’s what he’s going to go for.

    As far as Marvel goes, I’m more of an X-Men fan than anything else personally, so I’m really hoping there’s going to be an X-Men '98 and '99. Not particularly looking forward to MCU X-Men but maybe I’ll be entertained.

    Yes. 💜 for my favourite people. 🙂 for people I’ve interacted with once or twice and would like to interact with more. ⭐ for people that I haven’t interacted with but always enjoy their posts and comments. ✊ for similar reasons to the star but I like their politics.

    I’ve also given one person a red flag 🟥 but haven’t seen them again. There’s a couple more I could probably give red flags to but also I would prefer to see more friendly symbols in my feed than danger warnings.

    And seeing as you asked so nicely, I haven’t tagged you yet but I think I’ll give you a 🙂.




  • When I first signed up here, or tried to sign up here, join-lemmy just didn’t want to load anything. So I ended up going to bed and trying again the next morning. The next morning, it finally loaded the list of instances and going by the experience I had just had with the website battling to even load anything, I chose an instance advertised as “join here to reduce load on larger instances”. And this instance just didn’t want to load anything properly. Half of the images in posts just weren’t showing up. And when I searched LGBTQ+ and feminist communities, only dead communities showed up and I’m pretty sure nothing from Blåhaj.

    Then I went to world and still found it to be a ghost town. Eventually I realised that it was because ‘English’ wasn’t selected in my language settings. Because I didn’t realise that you have to ctrl click to select both ‘undefined’ and ‘English’. I’ve used software where you have to ctrl click but I’m not sure I’ve ever come across another website where this is the case. And on this note, the whole fact that ‘undefined’ even exists as an option comes across as bush league and makes it look like a beta version.

    Then there’s another issue here. The god damn internal politics. So someone signs up on the insurance that says “focused on programming and development”, then have everyone calling them a tankie or be cut off from multiple instances that have de-federated. It’s clear to me now that ‘ml’ stands for “Marxist Leninist” but when you’re new here and just looking at descriptions in join-lemmy, it just looks like a unique url like all the others.

    Personally I think there’s a lot of reasons that people would give up trying to get started here. That’s before even trying to break them ice with a silly question in AskLemmy and getting snarky snark and smart asses in the replies. And I use that as an example because in my first week here, I saw someone post an innocent question in AskLemmy, get hostility as a response, then leave.



  • Astrid from Fringe. She’s just the nicest person in the show and cool and smart. It’s hard to pinpoint what exactly, she’s just an extremely likeable character. And watching it more than once, it’s actually sad how little she really got to do in the show. She barely gets a backstory.

    Also, I don’t know if it counts but in Walking Dead it felt like all of my favourites were side characters because all of my favourites died. I actually stopped watching after season 5 because both of my top favourite characters got killed within episodes of each other and I just didn’t really have a reason to keep watching. Everyone that was left was an asshole.
