You’re right, I should set my expectations now.

Cool, another app I won’t download and will look sideways at whoever does.

If I see its userbase consists of gen z and younger I will be very disappointed.

Anytime I can pet a cat in a game I usually take a 10-15 minute break (or just stop playing) to pet my cats irl. Something about petting a digital cat triggers me to appreciate my real cats right then and there.

In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.

If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.

If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

i’m more curious about getting on their venmo friend list.

“hey, it’s uh, vlad. i need 200k for the um, rigging of the midterms in uh, wisconsin. thank you.”

I mostly contribute here, mostly.

You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

The Voyager iOS App makes it feel like I never left.

This for-profit social platform will be different guys!

I’ve seen this movie. Don’t the plants kill them?

Startup idea: OkCupid but for communes. Matchmake a commune of people together. Can chunks of society go on without these management leeches?

Hm, had no idea this existed/should not have been surprised. Thanks for plugging it!

Um, Cade: The Tortured Crossing? It’s like you’ve never heard of Neil Breen.

It’s made the migration from Reddit as smooth as butter. It’s like I never left.

Yeah Oolong’s my jam. I just wish I knew an admirable character that liked Oolong.

Podcast app for Means Morning News. Community radio apps for their stations (I’m in Portland).

I’ve been meaning to get the one that glides closed instead of slams/has to be guided down. I had one at my old place and was too lazy to uninstall it come moving time. I regret that every day.

Why are there obituaries in the obituaries column?

Customize your feed and/or block whatever you want to filter it, buddy. There’s a Reddit exodus because of American-centered events, so you’re going to see American-centric news and Reddit-bashing stories in some default feeds for a bit. Filter it out and move on.

No problem, I’ll just eat less plastic!

…oh wait.

imo this friction will erode as larger instances come into play; people will join a large, main instance without even knowing of the others, and-- if they have a problem with the instance they joined-- they’ll find they can easily jump ship there.
