Came prepared to downvote this for being common sense, but judging by the comments it actually is surprisingly unpopular! Well played.

Somehow genuinely had no idea Gojira were French so, TIL!

Also wtf South Africa.

Gotta actually link things if you want people to find them, my friend! 😉

Rock and stone, my friend ⛏

Would you like to…share this tutorial with us? Haha :D

I hope you spent some time wearing them on your fingers first, as is tradition.

You left them in peace, right?

…right? 🥺

‘Bough’ and ‘bow’ are pronounced the same

Except, of course, when “bow” is pronounced “bow” instead.

The most I’ve managed is 4 times in one year due to husband declaring it’s “too much”. So we settled back into a routine of twice (one in summer, one at Christmas).

Moral of the story, getting married isn’t worth it.

Just don’t ever set foot in Brazil, ok got it.

Is this a thing that happens? Do I need to add it to my list of reasons I’m terrified of the sea?

WTF that is one noteworthy stick!

Reposting from a couple days ago:

I’m legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are [email protected] and [email protected] but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.

Then there’s also [email protected] which has been a bit quiet lately so if you’ve made something, go show it off!

Came into this thread wondering “who the hell wears belts?”. Then saw everyone in here was taking belt wearage as a given. Then looked over at my husband and saw he’s wearing a belt.

TIL, all men apparently wear belts and I just never noticed before.

Oh lord, ok now things make a lot more sense 🤦‍♀️

Can I ask how you were “introduced” to .world? Just been wondering why that’s the one everyone is moving to atm.

Running an instance definitely does help, but the problem is convincing people your small instance is competently run and there to stay.

For people unable to selfhost, ways to help include:

• Making posts and comments, especially in smaller “dead” communities. Preferably about things other than Reddit.
• Contributing fixes on GitHub
• If you’re unable to do that last one, contributing quality reproducible bug reports on GitHub (rather than in, say, instance-specific meta communities)
• Helping to answer questions from all the confused new Lemmings, yes a lot of them are asked repeatedly but we want people to learn and stay so be polite and patient.
• Making sure people know about finding communities through sites like lemmyverse.net
• Curating lists of related communities and approaching mods to have it stickied or added to their community sidebar (helps people navigate around within their niche interests)
• Going to the extra effort of including local links when you mention a community, so people can find their way directly to the subscribe button. Example: [email protected] (Lemmy / Kbin)
• And of course, shitposting memes.

I’ve been full-time on a Lemmy for nearly a month already and haven’t really missed the other place at all. But damn, seeing that goodbye message on RIF yesterday filled me with emotions that were weird and deeply confusing.

Yup, it’s been extremely effective. I got engaged at the end of last year and certain types of people seemed genuinely horrified that I didn’t get a diamond ring.

Anecdotally though those tended to be older folks so I think maybe it’s losing effectiveness and younger people are seeing how absurd and arbitrary the whole thing is.

Pretty great tbh. The tricky thing with being an early adopter is you kind of have to be the change you want to see, but I’m old enough to feel no shame about just barging into places and starting new threads as needed.

So far started two accounts on two different instances (I like to keep different subjects somewhat separate) and had really cool interactions on both.

Obviously there are a few UX issues, trying to sub to remote communities is kind of a nightmare, but hopefully I’ve subbed to enough that other people on my instance will find it a bit easier to find them through search.
