This is just not true at all. This level of configuration is in no way required for having a good usable system. Things are as hard as they are plus how hard you make them.

In Japan, often there are words on the popsicle stick. It is like a game, you can win and lose but you won’t know until you have eating your popsicle. Here it says “あたり” (“atari”) which can be translated to “success”. Apparently, you can exchange your あたり stick for another free popsicle in the shop: hinative.com/questions/6863328 Sakurako got lucky!

An automod from a specific lemmy instance? This post is within my guidelines and it doesn’t seem removed or anything from what I can tell. I certainly didn’t setup an automod.

‘stash’ is a command for the software ‘git’ which is something programmers use a lot. This GMK set has its modifier keys themed after that software. So the functionality of the keys is not really connected to what the text reads on them. In my case they happen to be shift and space.

Haha. They are themed after ASCII control characters. ‘BS’ stands for ‘backspace’. Maybe you’ll like the ‘F_ack’ key as well :)

If you follow the github link (github.com/codybloemhard/eliza) you will find a picture of the matrix! I really like the upside down mods for space bars. It depends a bit on how you angle your hands when you type, but if I put the ‘space bar’ modifiers in their regular orientation, the edge will dig into my thumb. One thing I would do differently is the position of the screws. Two of the screws are right where my thumb comes down on the board when I press down the space bars. This was slightly irritating and I had to get used to it.

Chiyo’s workings are beyond our measly comprehension.

I maintain a bunch of anime communities including this one. I used to post to these every day in rotation. In these 9 months I was basically the only one that kept them active save for like 2 other people that posted more than once. I got burned out a bit and stopped posting. In this time, no one else posted and no one seemed to care that all activity fell off a cliff.

but I don’t want to keep this active by myself

To stop this negative feedback loop, I tried to be the one who does the initial work and hoped for people taking up along side. However, as you can see this did not work out very well. There are always way more lurkers than posters. Unfortunately I don’t think Lemmy has a userbase big enough for smaller communities like this to work out very well.

I do moderate these communities even when I don’t post (which just amounts to checking daily if nothing horrendous is posed). Lately I have started posting again and a azumanga post is in the schedule, but I don’t think I will return to my old output quantity.

To really answer the question “Is this place active anymore?” depending on your definition of active it might never have been active.

Just to point out, this is a small community but hosted on a big instance (lemmy.world).

The larger slice of life community was completely dead in my absence as well, and is recently active again since I started posting again. Because it aggregates content from smaller more specific communities, regular activity resumes much quicker.

As for the amount of people needed for an active community, I think 500 is quite an optimistic estimation. I estimate less than 1% of subscribers ever post anything. If I quickly take an example, the Lucky Star subreddit has 12k subs and seems to have on average a few posts a day. A few thousand subs seems to be needed for regular activity.

One of the most comfy characters ever.

Yes, you can bind something to the other spacebar. Shift, a FN key, backspace, enter, a letter, whatever you want. Normally you would have 8 fingers on the alpha cluster (the letters) and use a thumb for space thus using 9 digits (before someone comes after me for calling thumbs fingers lol). By splitting the space you effectively gain the ability to type with all your digits by giving each thumb a separate key. You can also split the space in more than two keys. Personally I quite like two keys per thumb.

CsXGF8uzUAOh6fqV, 18 days ago

People usually use either their left or right thumb for space (some bring a finger down instead of using a thumb). Whatever side you are used to, you would keep space at in your split space layout. For me that is the right side. The other one is shift for me so it does also get a lot of use, but yes the right one gets used more frequently.

Her little hey fever arc is so cute. Especially when she applies her eye droplets. Incidentally Lucky Star also has a moe eye droplets scene.
