What we're really lacking on the ui end is a way to see groups of identical communities that are on different federated platforms. Hence the idea of a dom-lemmy. The way it would work is lets say you search for a cat community called "cats", there's at least dozens of them out there already. Instead it would return the cats...
Was just about to suggest this. I've got insomnia and cannabis in the correct dosage has been the most effective with the least negative side effects for me personally.
I've been a chronic lurker on many platforms for my entire life, but the amount I actually contribute on the internet is VERY little. I want to change that, so I thought I'd ask the experts of the internet. What does your engagement with the internet look like? On which platforms, and why? How do you find your communities...
Love that attitude. And you're right, the large Reddit communities felt like there were so many voices that I couldn't really be bothered to give my "take" when there were already so many takes. So far the interactions here feel more authentic, which I appreciate.
True, it's always important to not get too comfy here, that's just asking for trouble haha. Sorting by New is a great tip! And allowing myself baby steps, no shame no judgement. Love that.
Thanks for being willing to share! I'm grateful for that insight, and to feel like I'm truly not alone. There are many of us anxious pups quietly here on the internet it seems haha. I agree, the newness and true need for good and engaging content makes it much easier to jump in and see what happens :)
I'm 25 and I don't have a drivers license. I mean, I've never really felt the need to go and get one. Public transport is usually the fastest option where I live, and it takes a lot less responsibility to use it....
Western United States. I used to try to commute via public transport. To get to where I needed to go, I needed to get on a bus, a train, and another bus. My walk to the bus was about 15 minutes from my apartment. The bus came about every 30 minutes, but was often not on time. The bus to the train was about 10 minutes. The train only ran every 30 minutes, so sometimes I'd get dropped by the bus and have to wait 25 minutes to continue my journey. The train took about 25 minutes to my stop. The second bus ran every 15-20 minutes, took about 8 minutes to get to my final destination.
All together, my commute could be from 50min - 1h 30. In my experience it was usually closer to 1h 30.
Driving? 35min, 45 with traffic.
United States has got to start really investing in public transportation.
My niece lives now lives with me (10 years old) and doesn’t like me calling it “bedtime”… it’s “baby-ish”… but she doesn’t have an alternate suggestion. I’m open to ideas?
I made the mistake of checking Reddit (using my last few days of Apollo) and came across a complaint about Lemmy that flabbergasted me (lemmy.world)
Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?...

we have "sub-lemmys" but what we are missing for lack of a better term is "dom-lemmys", hear me out

What's your sleep schedule like?
How well do you guys sleep? My current sleep schedule is the worst it has ever been and I'm not sure how I should go about fixing it.

Why do people prefer cars over public transport?
