Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Mastodon really helped get people acquainted with the Fediverse after the whole Twitter shitshow. My sincere hope is that the Fediverse continues to take off. Corporate-owned social media is failing at every turn.
I'm having more iterations and more interesting ones in Mastodon that I had in twitter during the last few years.
Mastodon reminds me of the early days of twitter, which is amazing.
I know! I was on Twitter in the early days and it was such a better place than it ended up being. And in the last few months it's become pretty much unusable for me. I've had more interaction on Mastodon than I had on Twitter in years. Hoping the federated nature of Mastodon maintains it as a community. Meta sniffing around makes me think that we're really onto something and I hope Mastodon and the Fediverse can stay what it is now. I know growth may change things, but I hope the general ethos and concept remain the same.
My biggest lack of understanding is still regarding access: So, if I choose to access the Fediverse via Mastodon, can I still subscribe to Kbin and Lemmy “subs”?
I love the federated nature of all of this, I just wish it was slightly easier to put into a metaphor. I’ve seen some graphic charts that try, but it’s still a bit confusing. I’m on KBin and I like it a lot, but I have no way of knowing if I’m missing a ton of content or not!
I agree it’s a bit confusing. I think app developers are really working to try and give people an easier onboarding experience. But I’m old enough to remember when people thought Twitter and Reddit were “way too complicated” for the average person. With technology, people seem to learn over time, and devs find ways to make things easier for average users.
Lemmy is only threaded content so no mastadin. Kbin however has threads posts but also microblogging. So kbin can interact with lemmy and Mastadon.
Thank you!!
