  • This is not funny......

  • Where does Lemmy fit in the life cycle of a meme?
  • I would say right after reddit. So many reposts on Lemmy from reddit.

  • Pale ass and a panda phone
  • Name?

  • Would you consider the anonymous sale of nudes cheating?
  • Not cheating, but without her knowledge or permission it just kind of makes you a piece of shit

  • Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says empathy isn't a soft skill — it's actually 'the hardest skill we learn'
  • 2023, took away annual inflation raise for the entire company during one of the worst years for inflation. Went to the board of directors and got himself a huge increase in his salary.

  • The Google Pixel 8 is official with 7 years of updates
  • The Pixel 5 was perfect imo. Small size and reasonable battery.

    I recently replaced the battery and also flashed LineageOS. Just like new 😁

  • Invasion Season 2 general discussion question

    Is it just me or does season 2 seem like a completely different show? I just binge-watched the first season and found it to be serious, grey, deep and very character driven.

    Just started season 2 and it feels like something that got disneyfied and dumbed down.

  • What band, artist, or song do you enjoy listening to that is widely disliked?
  • What!? Mmm Mmm Mmm is a great song! Who says it's not!? Give me their name, number and address.

  • What's the consensus on AdGuard?
  • I have been a long term user of AG Home. My only complaint is some streaming services. We have YouTube TV and the audio gets out of sync sometimes....can confirm it was in fact AG but I guess it could be the older Pi I was running it on.

  • Which news apps do you use?

    I use Flipboard for most everything but getting sick of the ads

  • Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
  • Sequels are some of my favorite.... Yeah the man sucks.

    The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger

    www.goodreads.com The Catcher in the Rye

    It's Christmas time and Holden Caulfield has just been …

    The Catcher in the Rye

    I've always been drawn to 'The Catcher in the Rye' because it resonates with the raw, unfiltered emotions of adolescence. Holden Caulfield's rebellious spirit and disdain for phoniness capture the essence of youthful defiance. The novel's straightforward prose and genuine portrayal of teenage disillusionment make it a timeless read that speaks to me every time.

    "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. "

    When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status
  • Getting attached to any account is not recommended. Hopefully most are pretty set but I know personally if I was too run into financial trouble I would shut it down. Bigger instances do get some amount of patrons who donate to them.

  • When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status
  • Right, and thats the issue. I host an instance but we only have a few users. Our instance does run very very well though because we don't get a ton of user traffic.

  • When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status
  • Currently no, there isn't a way to see that granular of detail. On my instance I have details about any defederated (blocked) instances. Currently there are none.

    But there are pros and cons of joining smaller server. Since mine is small we don't see a large list of communities, I make a point to go through and subscribe to a bunch everyday so my users can get the best experience. But without others doing some of the leg work it can be challenging. Bigger instances like lemmy.world have "seeded" with communities all over because of their large user base. Not only does lemmy.world have a ton of communities but their users have subscribed to communities outside the instance making it discoverable to others.
