  • PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities

    Jump

  • I have noticed the high level of political memes and threads and don't care for it. I didn't understand why they were so common, I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.

    I will try a different instance and report back.

  • PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities

    Jump

  • I hear you. When I first joined .ml, they were pressing for people NOT to join it. To create their own instances so that .ml didn't become a central entity, and get overwhelmed with users. The latter did occur during the reddit exodus.

    I also agree that they can curate and manipulate the instance to their ideals, which will limit casual users and their reach.

    I don't feel like I'm being secluded, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening. I have seen hate for .ml users and hexbear users, and I really don't get it. The fediverse shouldn't be segregating users based on what instance they're in. That's like saying all US citizens are awful because they live there.

  • Why we gave up on learning how to play an instrument?

    Jump

  • That's a cool take on it. I feel like I just haven't found a solid hobby that's fun to me. I've tried several, the only things that have partially stuck are video games, programming, and DND, but they still feel like a chore to keep learning.

  • I'm exactly the same. Hobbies just don't stick, and I can't commit to the grind of getting better at them.

    Have you been diagnosed with adhd by chance? I haven't, but I suspect it's one symptom.

  • The views of .ml mods have not affected me. I don't really check my subscription feed, only /all or /top->day, therefor im still exposed to all those other communities.

    The only instances that I've noticed are missing are porn related, and as an asexual, I don't have an interest in them. If I did, I could just visit a different site, like pornhub or w/e

    Not all .ml users are tankies, or communist, or foss enthusiasts. I'm just a guy who likes memes and tech

  • My fellings were similar

    Jump

  • What I meant by opposite was that I had a bad time after getting glasses, not a better ti.e like the others. It was a miscommunication on my part.

  • My fellings were similar

    Jump

  • I had the opposite reaction. When i got a prescription, I went from 1080p to 4k. I could see and read just fine, but I can't see fine details.

    Then I could see all the pores and blemishes on people's faces, and it was kinda frightening. For someone to see that their whole life, it's probably normal, but for me, it's like people were wearing uncanny masks, and I couldn't get used to it.

    Also, glasses gave me a headache like no other.

  • Day Zero - Zombie Themed TTRPG [Looking for Feedback]

    Jump

  • Plagiarized? No, not intentionally. I've only learned the rules for DnD, an Aliens TTRPG, and a D10 based homebrew TTRPG. Day Zero is D20 based, inspired by DND. The main difference that I added is "Mood" which can boost or hinder your checks. Also, stat bonuses aren't derived from one number (12) to another number (+1). They are a straight bonus. (3 stat points is +3)

  • It's been around a year since a lot of us quit Reddit, myself included. I'm happy with Lemmy, but I still feel a bit lost online since leaving the old site. Discussion?

    Jump

  • Like others, being on Lemmy dragged me away from the constant stream of endless gratification. I still check it a few times a day, at most, but much less than Reddit.

    What Reddit still has over Lemmy is a huge database of answers. While many people have left Reddit or moved on, their comments stayed, and that includes many searchable and genuine answers.

    It also has more communities. Game devs still use Reddit to host a lite web page (subreddit) for example. While the fediverse has many communities, alot of them are duplicates. Every instance has their own Memes community for example, which pollutes the feed sometimes.

    In the last year, I've made less than 5 posts on Reddit, mostly asking questions. I don't browse it, I just end up on it from search results.

    I wish the fediverse agreed on unique communities. It's cool that I can communicate with several different websites, but imagine if there was 5 reddit.com's and they all made their own memes subreddits. Either you have to subscribe to all of them and get duplicate memes, or you sub to one and miss out of 4x more.

    Because those 5 reddits are all divided, so is the potential user base. I'm not saying we should go back to a single website, but rather that each website in the fediverse hosts one major community.

    Alternatively, have an instance that merges all the other instances' communities so that all the meme communities appear as one, and all duplicates are filtered out.
