Hey all, figured I'd start doing a free talk thread if people are interested. I had one back on Reddit that I was in and it's fun to just post whatever thoughts your having throughout the day (especially when work is boring).
I'm sure it'll take some time to get going, and if there's no interest I won't spam. Just figured I'd see how it goes!
I stayed up til 6:00am going through random communities so I'm tired as hell. But I can confirm that this fulfils my procrastination streak just as much as Reddit did.
I like the idea of a daily "so what you up to?". Could be interesting to see how mundane all our lives are.
The main difference is that it's all in one place within a post each day. So it can be ongoing comment chains throughout the day within a post instead of needing to create a post for each new thought/topic. So if I want to just chat/dialogue with some folks I'm not clicking in and out, I'm just scrolling down a thread and interacting there.
There's definitely a little bit of overlap with the main community, just a different form of interacting for folks who are interested.
Spending most of my day today loving the fact that it’s cardigan weather where I live. Although I did just discover that I’m wearing a woman’s cardigan (not a big deal). Turns out that whole “button on the wrong side” thing from The Office is actually real.
Lol no doubt. I noticed it more because of the sizing. I'm a large in men's and was struggling to button this thing (xl) so it was throwing me off for a bit!
It's been interesting seeing how these communities grow and merge over time. I'm new to Lemmy, but it'll be fun to see what happens and if all these different communities will merge or consolidate.
It's especially cool to see the country/language specific instances. I feel like Reddit was very Americanized (politics = U.S. politics). It's nice to go take a look at what's going on everywhere else in a structured way.
