[](/sillysurprise-in-d) hmm, i like the federated nature of it, and not having /u/spez is nice, but there are things i miss from Reddit, like i feel the UI/UX could be a bit better on here. but it's still pretty great considering it's not made by a massive corporation.
How’d you find this place?
[](/lyrapeace-in-d) a certain someone Crystal linked the magazine to me
How’d you find Plounge in general?
[](/sillycelebrate-in-d) i originally found it via r/random, and a few months/years after that i remembered finding it just as i was starting to get back into MLP, and was wondering the chronological order of the EQG movies and when i should watch them (asking that was the first post i ever made on PLounge)
What’ve you been up to lately?
[](/starlightyouknow-in-d) hmm, mostly just playing games. i started playing Disco Elysium recently and it's really good.
a friend gave me a free key to Walking Dead Saints & Sinners, which is a VR Walking Dead game and also pretty cool and fun.
i also finished watching Serial Experiments Lain earlier today, which is a really good anime.
i also just watched Into the Spiderverse also today, which is probably the best superhero/comicbook movie i've ever seen, it probably also helps that Spider-Man was already my favourite superhero.
[](/mightyshrimps-d-spin-1) honestly ponymotes are displaying really well on kbin, wayy better than they do on Discord these days. sadly you can't preview the ponymote on here before posting it, but after that it displays perfectly
My username goes off the screen a little on mobile.
[](/kstarlightconfused-in-d) i have the same problem with with my name on mobile too, i thought maybe it was some kind of issue with my scaling settings
That’s a good way to find it. Glad you stuck around!
[](/snowfalldaw-r-d-in) thank youuu !!
Ooh, neat! I remember watching the show. Hope the game’s fun!
[](/speckcomputer-in-d) yeah, the show is probably one of the best anime i've ever seen, i'm probably gonna rewatch it at some point, and also play the Lain game as well.
also the Walking Dead game is pretty fun, so far it seems like it's the sort of game where you have a little hub area where you build and craft and sleeb, and go out on missions to gather supplies and do quests.
Ooh, awesome! I’ll have to watch it.
[](/vsspider-r-in-d) it was really good! i'm excited to watch the sequel that came out recently
Aw. Sad to hear that you have the same problem. Hope it gets fixed!
[](/starlightconcern-in-d-r) i hope so too, it isn't a massive issue but it'd be cool if they fixed it
Glad to hear that it was that good! What’d you like about it that made it one of your favorites?
[](/sleepygamerluna-in-d) hmm, a lot of reasons.
i like how weird and strange it is, i haven't really seen anything like it before.
i feel that Lain's experiences in the Wired feels relatable to my experiences with the internet.
i like how 'unsure' everything is, like everything is not as it seems and there's a deep meaning behind it, and there's mysteries to uncover in the story.
i like the art, animation, and music in it, and i feel Lain is an extremely interesting character.
i also like the similarities it has The Matrix, which i think was inspired by Serial Experiments Lain.
Ooh, neat! Glad to hear that it’s fun. Those types of games are cool.
[](/flutterpinkboop-in-d) you're fun! and yeah, i feel the show has a lot of different nuances and elements that ultimately make is really amazing
Neat! I certainly hope that’s a good thing.
[](/bpthink-in-d) hmm, i think i feel like that the feeling of experiencing the internet and learning about it and uncovering its mysteries is what feels relatable to me. the feeling of being in this thing that's so big and massive that it's difficult to comprehend it all. i can't necessarily relate to all the awful stuff that happens to Lain, but i think i can relate to her feelings of barely understanding what's going on, and in some ways feeling powerless to do things, especially early on in the show.
So this is a somewhat long story, because I have a history of trying to find Reddit alternatives. As it turns out, I really, really like forums? Lemmy and Kbin haven't been the first attempts at this. Nor was Reddit the first. But I found Kbin in particular because I felt Lemmy had too much Tankie for me. After some digging, I have found I do not like the devs at all. So alternatives of alternatives we go!
How are you liking kbin?
Uh. Not super hopeful? At least while it's a "very early beta".
How’d you find Plounge in general?
Mane subreddit had it in its sidebar. I was in a big pony binge, and I wanted all the pony communities. Back then, PLounge was crazy active. It was probably very similar to /r/196 back in the day, except with text posts and not images. Not 30 minutes would go by without a new post. You could keep refreshing the page and there would always be someone new talking about something.
Oh. That bug doesn’t seem good. And not being hopeful about an idea that hasn’t really worked out before (Reddit alternative) is fair enough. Here’s hoping it turns out better than expected!
Wow, that sounds amazing! Hope we can make something at least a little like that here.
[](/rosecat-d)
Hmm, new plounge new numbers? It's easier than trying to somehow consolidate the two numbering sequences, anyway.
Also hello!
Yes
Also yes. I'm the one who ate the fancy soaps you bought for the bathroom.
A nerd from the lake, their arm clad in the finest cheeto dust and shimmering in the light of the moon, reached out to me and held aloft a jar of bees, signifying to me, Natalie, that I was to take the bees and lead on to greatness. That is why I am here.
I've been working through physical therapy and trying to get my hand moving properly again. Not much interesting, I'm afraid. How've you been?
