LadyAutumn, in Are there any women-centric communities?

There are a couple lesbian communities. I havent seen anything like 2x or thegirlsurvivalguide yet though. None show up in the community browser either. Someone should start one.

RomanRoy, in Why made Lemmy so popular the past few days? Wrong answers only!
@RomanRoy@lemmy.world avatar

Communism. Americans decided they would fight KKK and Nazism with the same vigor and discovered that communism was way better.

boredtortoise,

Nothing wrong with communism but we joined Lemmy because we love China’s brand of far-right

sockrates, in What are some great AI tools that aren't ChatGPT?

elicit.org. find scientific papers and makes a quick summary. You can also ask about the paper.

minnieo, in What is the thing that has surprised you the most about the Fediverse?
@minnieo@kbin.social avatar

to me, it was surprising just how easy the fediverse was to understand if i stopped trying to think about it how i was taught to think by centralized platforms.

at first, i was really hesitant to migrate. i was confused by kbin, lemmy, mastodon, and especially the fediverse. i didn't think i could ever understand it. i wasn't confident in it. but, after a few hours of exploring, interacting, watching people talk about it and reading explanations, it clicked into place and suddenly made sense, a whole lotta sense. now, i am actually teaching others about what the fediverse is with little to no trouble and helping them migrate to kbin from reddit, and thats amazing. having tons of fun here! 👍

mcc, in Is it okay to essentially copy a subreddit to lemmy?

Hell, make a copy on every instance.

balthasar1stern, in How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others?
@balthasar1stern@feddit.de avatar

I am from Germany and no one is raising a flag. Except he is a Nazi. Or it is soccer World Championship.

LittleKerr, in What are some communities you'd like to see on Lemmy that don't exist yet?
@LittleKerr@lemmy.world avatar

What I’m missing the most:

  • AmateurRoomPorn, FemaleLivingSpace, MaleLivingSpace and similars. Plenty of ideas on how to decorate my home, suggestions,…
  • OneOrangeBraincell, Flonkers, MurderMittens, ToeFeathers, PouchCatatoes and other ‘niche’ cat subreddits. I can survive with the already existing IllegallySmolCats and Cats, I guess.
  • GifRecipes, ShittyGifRecipes, ShittyFoodPorn. Ones for learning new stuff to cook, others… for learning what NOT to cook thankyouverymuch.
  • HistoryMemes
  • Tattoos
  • Submechanophobia

!shittyfoodporn is one I saw pop up recently.

!gifrecipes also.

DigiWolf, in Deleted

I’m seeing a lot of worrying trends.

The whole idea of Reddit is changing. It used to be the front page of the internet and that encompassed basically everything. Now it seems like there’s a lot of focus on making it advertiser friendly

Then we see Spez basically spitting in the face of the community. Mocking them, calling the unpaid mods “entitled” and just showcasing that he actively seems to despise the users.

Now we’re seeing Reddit do shady stuff like undelete comments. Destroying any trust the community may have had in the website.

The 3rd party app issue was just the kindling that ignited all the other issues

Chainweasel, in How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit?

They sure are trying really hard to put a stop to the blackout they say is having no effect.
It may be true that the disturbance has minimal effect on overall site traffic and advertising revenue, but it's caught the attention of the media which could have much larger effects.
But the blackout isn't really what's catching most of the attention anymore, it's the mishandling of the situation that's ending up in the news most of the time now. Spez is bringing most of this on himself.

hsl, in Do you want to moderate asklemmy?
@hsl@wayfarershaven.eu avatar

I'm interested! I keep finding myself here. I am admin for a small instance (wayfarershaven.eu) and am working on building up some communities. I'm enjoying Lemmy and the fediverse and want to help build that up as much as I can.

I don't have Reddit mod experience but I do work in support and believe in FOSS. At the end of the day, we're here to share knowledge, learn from each other, and have a good time.

ShoePaste, in What would you think about bots that repost content from Reddit?
@ShoePaste@lemmy.ml avatar

Nah. This is a fresh start. It's been less than a week and theres already so much more content. It'll grow soon enough. Especially with spez fucking around over there. We want og content here, not all the shit reposts that already plague reddit

spinoza_the_jedi, in What is your boomer opinion
@spinoza_the_jedi@lemmy.ml avatar

Boomer opinions:

  • Stop being so loud.
  • Get off my lawn and please leave me alone.
  • I work in tech, but sometimes tech is added to things needlessly. I just want my washing machine to be a washing machine. I’m tired of being the product.
  • Silicon valley’s “disruptors” are usually full of shit. The vast majority of the time: it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
  • Don’t tell me what to do with my land if you’re not willing to pay my taxes (or if you don’t have good ecological reasons). I’ll paint my shudders whatever color I want to.
  • Bring back the damn knobs, buttons, and switches in my car. I don’t need more touchscreens.

On the other hand…

  • I recognize that the way I feel and some of the opinions I have are based on a context I grew up with that may no longer exist - or at least it may not exist in the form it once did. I recognize how I see things may die with me and my peers, and that’s ok. It’s a sad truth, but truth, nonetheless.
ALoafOfBread, in Best online resources to learn the game go.
@ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml avatar

We actually have a new Go (aka baduk aka weiqi) community here on Lemmy! lemmy.ml/c/baduk. We have some resources over there to get you started.

Go-magic.org and their videos on YouTube are great. We have links to those in our sidebar along with several others.
