No, but you have to be careful - enough people buy the merch for the 2-second appearance and they’ll end up dedicating an entire TV show to them, and then you’re stuck saying “Oh what this? No, you don’t understand, I bought this ages ago …”

‘EU Wednesdays’ have gone from something that everyone ignored to a thing that threatens the peace and stability of this entire Community.

Star Wars is interesting in that it’s a big franchise IP that isn’t an adaption of a book or comic

log into lemmy.world, ideally from a browser, not an app or a frontend, click your account in the top-right and choose settings. Then it’s this one:

Unrelated to your question, but you seem to have ticked the option in your settings that indicate that you are a bot, so anyone with a blanket ban on bots won’t see anything you write.

It’s maybe an idea to filter out communities with less than 10 posts.

When I tried it, it gave me a community with 1 post and no comments (there’s a lot of dead communities on lemmy, so you might need to do something to increase the chance of an interesting response)

TempleOS. All other operating systems are sinful.

Especially since, and correct me if I am wrong, but every instance holds all of the data for all of the other instances too? (that they are federated with).

Just the text I think. It’s not nothing, but if you upload an image to your instance as part of a post, the text is copied to my instance, but with just a link to the image, so it could be worse.

I use to play around with a little device called Open Pandora (from when System-On-A-Chip really became a thing; it looked like a bulky Nintendo DS and was mostly used to emulate old games (including Nintendo DS ones, interestingly).

I made an alternative desktop environment for it (so you switch from using XFCE to Openbox).

Anyway, this wallpaper reminds me of that time:

I’m not sure, tbh. I’m feeling pretty doomy about Lemmy lately.

I’ve been involved in actively trying to build up an existing Community: I posted stuff, people saw it on All, and subscribed. From that point, growth should be exponential - if you get an extra 100 subscribers, at least 1 of them should be able to overcome their crippling insecurity and post something, but in reality, nothing happened. I kept posting, but repeated mining of my own sense of what’s funny just revealed how far adrift my own sense of humour is from a universal sense, and that was that.

You can do what you like to try to grow a Community, but if the people you bring in are the same type of Entitled Toilet Browsers you already have, it won’t mean much.

Well, that’s just established canon at this point. I guess I’m just questioning whether any of the participants are really into it …

It depends on the bot. That one on lemmit online is as dumb as rocks. The Boycott Reddit Bot is doing a decent-enough job of generating posts that people reply to.

A growing family of termites maybe.
