What even is this place?
I read the description and then looked at some posts. I’m so confused what this place even is can someone explain it in a verbose way to me? The description confuses me I think?

Help us build Japan Travel and Onebag – Globe.pub, a friendly community for travelers
Hello! I’m Matt and I just booted up Globe.pub, a Lemmy instance focused on world travel. I’m trying to build a cozy and friendly home for people who used to have that sort of community on Reddit....
Do you ever despair at the apparent lack of regard for the "social contract" by so many?

How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?
Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?
What are some fun low-key virtual date ideas?
This is an open-ended question. I occasionally have facetime dates with my partner. What are some good activities we can do? They don’t have to be fancy or romantic,...
How do I go about writing aquatic humans as an allegory (or w/e the right word is) for Indigenous people?
I’m considering writing the merfolk in my story as a sort of metaphor for indigenous peoples, as well as other sea-dwelling or otherwise aquatic humans. Is this inherently problematic in and of itself, or is there a way to write this that works and is respectful to actual indigenous folks? If it’s inherently disrespectful, I...
What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?
The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.
Is it possible to have Wikipedia sources in a cycle?
I’m not very familiar with how Wikipedia vets the sources in the references/external links. I was wondering whether there are manual or automated checks for cyclic sources, for example a Wikipedia page cites a source for something, but such source after a few rounds of citing would go back to the same Wikipedia page....
What are the best search engines/Q&A sites?
SEO has made it incredibly hard to find answers without getting spammed by news and blog sites. Places like ask Lemmy help democratize answers through upvotes and downvotes so the quality is higher....

Can you recommend Japanese science fiction movies and series?
I like science fiction movies and series of all kinds, as long as the story is good. In the past I watched one or two Japanese science fiction movies and remember that I liked them very much (I don’t remember the titles, though)....

In Today's Cliche Post: How the fuck do I meet new people locally?
Let me set the stage: Newly single dad of a young kid. After COVID-19 I haven’t done much outside of my home and taking care of my kid. I work full time-remote, and between the kiddo and leaving room for a hobby or taking care of the house, it seems like the only other thing I have time for is sleep....

Does anyone have a new puppy checklist for a prospective puppy parent?
I know there are a bunch of answers to this question “over yonder” and thought I’d ask here instead. The more exhaustive the checklist, the better....
Talk me out of using countertop induction cooktops (with outlets for both higher powered commercial and lower powered household devices) as my burners vs having a built-in cooktop.
Besides not being aesthetically pleasing, what’s the downside of strictly using countertop induction cooktops, both commercial and household varieties, as my burners? If I go for the individual cooktops, I could easily replace them individually if they break or if technology or features improve, plus I can put them away for...
