Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
Black & White 3. Just more Black & White, slightly updated and improved since technology is better, but it doesn’t have to be much better. Just a little bit. But basically more of the same.
Sure, but in the case of a show dealing with the question of what would happen if the general public could download celebrities despite the non-consent of the celebrities involved, literally Futurama did it.
I once overheard a pair of utility workers talking, and as I walked past I only overheard a snippet of conversation. The older one yelled up the cherrypicker to the younger one and said, in a heavy Boston accent:
“If only you could use your powers for good, instead of for useless…”

Ignore that jerk. You’re great, and your detergent videos explained, in exhaustive detail, (as all of your videos do, because that’s literally the whole shtick,) the nuance and context that you were aiming for. Anyone who missed that just wasn’t paying attention.
Also your snarkiness in your videos is amazing and never stop being you.
This article has been circulating for a while, summarizing the latest BIP data on colony losses. Thought this forum might allow some beekeeper discussion of it. Do we think this annual “doom and gloom” reporting on BIP’s colony loss survey data is useful, or does it sow pointless confusion among non-beekeepers?
I’ve been having a grand old time on Lemmy, and am navigating the minor tech hiccups amd growing pains pretty well.
My only issue is that I “installed” mander.xyz as an app onto my Android phone’s home screen (through Firefox) but since yesterday I cannot get it to open correctly and I have to navigate here from my open browser instead. Which is weird…
As in, take over communities from inactive moderators? c/football's sole moderator has not posted or commented in days, and several communities from Reddit are completely blank and owned by a certain "@AutoModerator" account which has never posted or commented. I was wondering, is that a possibility on Lemmy?
That's the beauty of Lemmy: Don't like a community? Make it again somewhere else. DO like a community? Make it again somewhere else anyway! Sub to duplicates of the communities you like: You'll be reading comments by the same people across different instances, and a single mod issue or instance server crash can't take you down!
If all people who like cat photos converge to one community on one instance about cat photos, it means that a server crash or one goofball mod can ruin everything. If all those cat photo lovers are subscribed to 10 different cat photo communities on 10 different instances... then they'll always be connected to share cat photos, will see all the content, and no one hardware pr human problem will crash the whole community of humans who just want to share cat photos.
I think reddit has just continued making more and more moves down their path towards the IPO, and all of those moves together have shown a lot of us that we're not interested in staying on for the rest of the ride. Complicity towards corrupt or powerhungry mods of massive communities with tangible effects on the world (e.g. r/politics), censorship, revenue-focused anti-user actions, ignoring the community, downplaying the value of volunteer mods and threatening to replace them... Yeah, thanks, no. I'm good over here in the fediverse now.
I decided to take a peek at Reddit to see what kind of activity is happening, a good handful of the subreddits I am subscribed to are still super active with posts and commenters....
Perhaps I've misunderstood how Lemmy works, but from what I can tell Lemmy is resulting in fragmentation between communities. If I've got this wrong, or browsing Lemmy wrong, please correct me!...
I think you have got it slightly wrong. You're correct that you can't just go to one community on one instance and see every new technology discussion that is taking place on Lemmy, but you CAN subscribe to all of the technology-related communities on different instances and scrolling through posts of communities you're subscribed to will show you all the discussions you want to see.
I think your concern is a common one, but what you're seeing as a bug is, I think, one of the best features of federation.
Drop the mindset that r/technology was the reason all of those tech-interested humans got together in the first place. It wasn't. The human community of tech-interested people just all joined the subreddit. If that same human community subscribes to all of the different tech communities on different instances, then they'll all still be interacting together online, all commenting on the same tech posts. No fragmentation.
The extra cool part is how stable this is. Imagine a mod of r/technology went on a power trip? Now the whole sub is gone. Imagine the mod of technology.beehaw went crazy? Not a big deal. Everyome unsubscribes from that community and the discussion carries on in the different tech communities. Or what if beehaw goes down for an hour? (Or forever?) Also not a big deal (unless your account is on beehsw!) because the rest of the instances will still be up.
I expect we will see a feature soon(ish) to set up a multireddit-equivalent so you can just pull up the tech communities you're subbed to.
And though I like an overall science/STEM theme as my core, my personal hobbies drift towards the biological - gardening, beekeeping, homebrewing, mushroom-hunting, etc. I think it would be fine to allow all of that stuff here, or to limit the instance more tightly than that. It doesn't really matter - federation means there can be 15 different beekeeping communities on 15 different instances, and as long as all the Lemmy beekeepers subscribe to them it's just... not a big deal. And then if one instance goes down for an hour (or forever) the actual human community of beekeeping lemmings isn't fractured, we've just lost one appendage.
I think once Salamander has made their choice they should just publicize it and then we can all abide by it. No matter what is chosen, I do like publicly belonging to a "science and nature" tribe on Lemmy instead of a "default" tribe or "communist memes" tribe.
I'm proud to have joined this tribe on Lemmy. I don't mind having the local community list show some diversity (e.g. mushroom growing and gardening in addition to astrophysics and recent publications on COVID evolution) but I don't need this instance to scratch my "askreddit" itch. That's what federation is for! I think it's your call, but I think drawing a line in the sand is worthwhile to keep this instance moderately thematically organized.
If anyone would like to help me set up these communities and/or mod, please get in touch. This place is what we make it and I’d love some fresh ideas. I mod a number of smaller science subreddits and would like to help make this place just as nice, if not better!
I've been admiring all of your work around here, and will post plant content as I generate it. Question: Is there a Lemmy equivalent for whatisthisplant yet? If not, should it live on this instance?
Also, I've been thinking that this instance would look good with a beekeeping community. So should I just, like, create one?
Let's say Lemmy acquires the critical mass of users, continues to gain in popularity. Eventually someone will offer a large sum of money, the platform grows, new owners look towards an IPO, the goals shift, yadayada... How is different this time?

Took a peek on Reddit, it really boggles my mind how oblivious and obedient people are.

I don't see how Lemmy will fill the gap of Reddit - it's resulting in fragmentation

Is there any reason Lemmy isn't doomed to repeat Reddit's path?
