For example, I’m sure the average joe doesn’t know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.
Gymnastics. The skill part is obvious but monetarily its more than i expected. I thought it would be like going to a regular gym but its usually much more expensive to use the gyms and thats if you can find a time slot where adult males can train.

I definitely agree. But someone publicly speaking on the subject should probably look into it first or at least their team should give them a heads up.
I feel the same way when politicians fuck up talking about tech stuff. If I’m talking with my friends about encryption and I fuck up the terminology I don’t really care. If I’m a politician talking about it in a house floor debate I’m gonna make myself look retarded to anyone who knows anything about encryption and ruin my own credibility in the process.
True. I want a nice car before getting a house. How the fuck else will I get to my job to pay for my car and house? And by “nice” I mean “won’t break down on the way to my job.” very few of my friends have ever bought a new car.
Yep. I’ll second this. I’ve used it for years and across many laptop changes, phone changes, etc. It’s painless but you’re also responsible for not losing everything.
I did not know it was so low. That's crazy. It makes sense though. I don't know anyone who posts in real life. All the people I know who use Reddit are just lurkers.
Mods made a poll to ask whether to extend the blackout or re-open. After accusations of brigading, mods created a second, more secure poll. The option to extend the blackout wins by a 18% margin. However, the top mod changes his mind, unilaterally decides that the sub should open, and threatens the rest of the mods with...
I'm surprised by a lot of the comments. It's frustrating that so many people just want their entertainment. They don't seem to care that Reddit is making it harder or even impossible for the people that use their personal time to keep the sub moving. It reeks of entitlement.
That's a good read. I'm involved in a court case that could end up with me going to prison. I have multiple stem degrees, I worked for the intelligence community for a while. I have peer reviewed science articles published, and yet all anyone seems to see is that I'm muscular and have martial arts experience so obviously I beat up the other guy. Realistically I just pulled him off of my mom, but he played up (or faked altogether) his injuries and now here we are.
I'm sorry you have gone through this. I'm definitely more sympathetic towards stories like this now that I might be telling my own someday.
It is what it is. I wouldn't change what I did regardless so it doesn't matter. At least I still have hope things will go in my favor but my mom and I have lost at every step so far.
You are right about it changing me though. I have already felt it and I'm just getting started in this process. The hardest part is reminding myself I'm not guilty. It's easy to fall into the guilty mindset when everyone around me is telling me I'm a monster. Except my family and friends who were there of course. They keep me sane. But everyone in the legal system assumes I'm guilty.
It’s hot again, which means it’s chafing season. One thing I’ve noticed is that my running shorts always ride up on my left leg, and only my left leg. Multiple pairs, different brands and styles, it doesn’t matter. I get much worse chaffing on that leg. I use Body Glide or Squirrel’s Nut Butter religiously and can...
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
Yeah I've definitely spent more time here. I was an occasional lurker on the fediverse before but this has been a game changer for me. There is a lot more casual content and variety now.
If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That's not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it's a ghost town and leave....
Literally in the same boat. I wanted the place to exist over here but I've never been a mod and don't really have interest but for now I'm happy with me and my dead community. If it's ever not dead I'll have to figure out what to do.
Right now the user count Lemmys is comparatively tiny when held up against reddit - but the user count isn't the thing that makes a social media site, it's the engagement...
Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?

Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge?
Yeah, sorry about the run-on sentence title, but I hope you get what I'm saying
