More sports like NFL, college basketball, baseball, etc. There are communities for these, but they’re not very active.

Yeah game day threads used to be the shit on reddit.

Lines in italics were typed, lines not in italics were swiped, bold was swiped then selected from the suggested word list. It took a little bit but I managed to train it to do it.

Mango,

We need you in my QA department.

(Original) drawings, paints, sketches made by the OP. Talk about paint, inks, papers, …work in progress stuff, problems & solutions.

Vaporwave minidiscs

I love minidiscs!! I found my Sharp MD the other week and I wanna start collecting MDs.

I was thinking of collecting MD players too, Defo want one of the later NetMD players.

I’d settle for vaporwave at all!

feoh,

Yeah definitely more musical genre related subs would be great. I loved /r/electronica and /r/dubstep before Reddit’s CEO made me wanna hurl and I stopped using their site.

Blaze,

!skincareaddiction

I post there regularly, but it could use some more activity

Seasoned_Greetings, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

I know I’m going to be in the minority here, but I’ve been on a carbonated flavored water kick for a few years after I realized sugar was killing me. It was a two fold realization that I just really enjoy the fizz and not the sugar.

That said, Polar seltzer-ade with lemon or lime juice is just 🤌 if you’re into carbonated waters

May, in What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
@May@kbin.social avatar

When someone would ask a good question that you also wanna know the answer to, but then all the "answers" were just jokes bc everyone wanna get upvotes. I dont really mind jokes but those times it was a bit sad, then sometimes no one would answer for real bc i guess they see 10 replies and assume surely one of them is real already.

Also repost bots.

And apple vs samsung feuds.

And sometimes looked like whenever some people try to organize action or protests, comments just spamming that "protests do nothing" or "voting does nothing," or "what is this gonna do," not suggesting any other solution either, almost like trying to encourage apathy? Or discourage action. Sometimes i wondered if those were bots.

Also the r/wooosh when someone didn't understand a joke. .-.

WishbackJumpsta,

I remember the days when on reddit, the most insightful and genuine answers would get upvoted, because an upvote was related to the quality of the post, and not the “Meme”.

reddit died when that all changed

I’d love to see niche communities.

MadBob,

Maybe “!nicheinterests” is an idea?

Greg, in What free things online should everyone take advantage of?
@Greg@lemmy.ca avatar

Free tier cloud services like AWS, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and Azure. I use free tier VMs to host random services like VPNs, Mastodon instance, etc.

Tailscale has a free tier to connect your devices, VMs, and home servers.

GitHub pages is great for hosting any simple website for free.

fidodo,

Don’t forget about cloudflare. With their free caching and cdn a well optimized site can run for barely anything. With GitHub actions and pages you can have a fully static site hosted completely for free.

Varyk, in Is there a word for the feeling of nostalgia for or missing of another lifetime one only lived in a dream?

Anemoia - nostalgia for a life you never lived.

Apparently made up for the experience you’re describing.

Twinklebreeze,

Never mix anemoia with bleach.

Or add water to chlorine.

feebl,

Let me guess, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows? Absolutely wonderfull project.

HowRu68, (edited ) in Is there a word for the feeling of nostalgia for or missing of another lifetime one only lived in a dream?

The best word I’ve heard that covers that, is the Portuguese " Saudade "; especially because it’s ingrained in the culture ( e.g. Fado) .same for Brazil ofc.

Nibodhika,

Nope Saudade is just the feeling of nostalgia, for some reason someone convinced foreigners and some Brazilians that it’s special or somehow different from nostalgia. And it caught because mostly we don’t use nostalgia to refer to people, so in most people’s mind they’re somewhat different but it’s just because of common use. Any phrase that Portuguese uses saudades can be replaced with missing in english without losing any meaning, e.g. Tenho saudades do meu cachorro -> I miss my dog.

rmuk, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

If you live in the UK, Lidl sells an excellent cola called Freeway. Their Freeway Zero is better than Pepsi Max or Coke Zero, IMHO, and literally one-fifth the price.

kense,

Lidl is German… You don’t have to live in the UK to visit a Lidl, they’re all around.

As for Freeway, I’ve previously tried it as a friend said it was better than Coca Cola. After a sip, I poured the rest into the drain. Not for me

  • ani,

    Are you that naive? Why are you defending Google anyway? Google most definitely has a backdoor filter to block FOSS and communist apps like Lemmy and fediverse in general. I also tested Gboard and I can’t gesture type Lemmy. This is proof Google is doing some shenanigans. And I challenge you to try it yourself, stop shilling Google dude!

    Hobby machining, automotive, scca.

    Maybe I need to think about hosting…

    nezbyte,

    A hobby machinist community would be great. I’m a few months into the hobby and loving it.

    pastermil,

    We got !machinist

    Beginners/basic programming for non-IT. There’s a lot of people that might want to do very simple things with arduino or other mini computers. Python, or even simple Linux tasks, that don’t want to start a whole “Programming lessons A-z” multi-stage class-format learning adventure.

    skulblaka,

    Hmm… I bet the owners of r/roguelikedev could be convinced to run a Lemmy community, seems their style. I think they can be reached via discord. I might look into that, they were a good group, and helpful.

    Psaldorn, in Rap music video with an island, with a lake, with an island on it etc
    @Psaldorn@lemmy.world avatar

    I was hoping it was “On a boat” by the lonely island, but it’s not 😞

    marlowe221,
