For me it’s PC games, for my gf it’s tabletop games, so I was interested, what do you folks imagine as the first thing when someone says “games”?

Does your choice depends on somehing? And from what country are you?

I noticed that there were some accounts that were hijacked by the instance owners. All the posts from that user were then edited to say what happened....

For me it’s some of the music ed, trumpet and book subs.

Mine are some of the communities I have created:...

As the service grows, I have noticed more and more people and bots popping up, only posting links to a news article and that’s that. Usually there is no post, no summary and nothing from the OP but the link....

It really grinds my gears when there’s an c/asklemmy question and the top most responses are single word answers....

So I once came across this little puzzle, and I’ve been hungry for more ever since:...

I use firefox browser in android. Still waiting for sync for lemmy to have the old reddit like experience. The existing app somehow doesn’t feel like a good experience for me. I feel the browser ui is better than some apps I tried.

Every other post is about post about that site....

My friend and I collect old video games. But all my physical media just sits on my shelves and collects dust. Why do I even collect them? I literally just emulate everything. Is there a purpose to what I do? People ask me why I collect and I never have a real answer because I don’t even know. If I never play my stuff, is it...

Should social media platforms only allow upvotes or favorites?...

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I’m not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I’m ruminating. I don’t have many people to go to about this. Please don’t say I will...
