The sorting algorithm still needs some tweaking, so it won’t show that many posts from big communities, but spread it out more, so smaller communities also show up.

Anders429,

I actually had to temporarily block the memes community because of this. Sorting by hot resulted in nothing but memes, and it was driving me crazy that they were doing the whole “post old memes” thing.

Bongles,

I just unsubscribed too, probably until that feed update that’s getting worked on. I figure they’ll still be in all if I want them but I wasn’t seeing anything else in my subscribed feed.

To get really diverse sort after “New Comments”.

paddytokey,

Yeah I don’t really rewatch movies except maybe to sort of show them to other people. But I have a small child so I know my top movies are Moana and Encanto, just not by choice

does Doom count? Because my friends and I still play the game to this day, all the various community mods and maps.

The Case of the Golden Idol
Some people dislike the pixel-art style and weird character design, but I find it charming.

bstix, in How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year?

I go skateboarding. It clears my mind completely. It doesn’t matter that I can’t keep up with modern tricks or anything. It still puts me in a zen state of mind and being physically tiring it leaves me relaxed and not worried about anything.

Exercise is definitely part of it, but also the feeling of accomplishment and occupying the mind.

I’m sure other physical activities can do something similar, but it’s important to find something that fits you.

Professorozone, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Aliens Forrest Gump Incredibles Shrek Shawshank Redemption 5th Element Ice Age

Captain_Shakespeare, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

For the moment it is still a massive repository of useful esoteric knowledge. I’ve stopped using it for anything active / current, but so long as it exists and is searchable I don’t see that I’ll be able to move away from accessing it entirely.

Twitter, however, is dead to me.

Tales of Maj’eyal. A free to play open source roguelike that I hate. This game is amazing. Fuck this game. Also definitely recommend. But fuck this game. After numerous 10-12 hour long runs, I have yet to win.

Delta 8 and painting miniatures

Dinodicchellathicc,

I used to love making clay soldiers as a child. Maybe I’ll start again.

Jaeger86,

That’s cool, like I’m for sure not very good at this but it’s been a fun thing to learn, watching videos and buying like “good” paints and brushes. It’s been a neat hobby to mix up just playing video games and tv

FiftyShadesOfMyCow,

Hexahydrocannabinol Is also very effective and, in Germany at least, legal!

Jaeger86,

I’m in the godforsaken place that is Texas, so I’m using what I can get 🤣

FiftyShadesOfMyCow,

No weed = No Texas for me

Can’t wait for weed to become the new normal

Anticorp, in [SERIOUS] How do you do figure out what job you want after high school?

College is a great place to start. Unfortunately college is ridiculously expensive these days, but community college is still pretty affordable. There are so many things you don’t even know exist in the world right after highschool. The world also works a lot differently than you’ve seen so far, so a college level education is really beneficial. Go to community college, knock out some Gen Ed courses, and take some interesting classes for your electives. You’ll learn about stuff that you didn’t know existed and you may find that you’re passionate about some of those things.

There was a bug with the hot sort a couple weeks ago, so that kind of poisoned the well a little bit. I’m never sure if the poor sorting is due to another bug or if it’s just the nature of how hot and active sort works. Assuming the sorts are working as intended, I’m beginning to believe that lemmy is just too small for hot and active to work well. Maybe they’ll be more applicable if lemmy grows to the size of reddit.

But anyway, I’ve just been sticking to the “top” sorts, for now. Those work well.

inconel, in What's your real-life superpower?

Give a proper first aid for minor injuries. People tend to dissmiss minor burn/cut/bruises, but first aid right after it is what minimizes lingering pain,.

Mythril, in What are your favorite "ugly" games?

Card Quest (Android) has similar dated graphics, but I got kinda into it lately. It’s a card-based roguelike, with a fixed deck that only changes with inventory/skill changes.

Nesuniken, (edited )

Thanks for the recommendation! Spent this evening playing it, and it’s everything I was hoping Slay the Spire would be. Slay the Spire is still great, of course, but deckbuilding has always been my least favorite part of card games.

Mythril,

You’re welcome, glad that someone enjoyed my suggestion!

Yeah with Slay the Spire there is often some slight feeling of “I lost because I didn’t get any good cards”, but in this game I more often feel like I died because I messed up my resource management and priorities haha (still haven’t beat it once yet…)
