Have you ever heard of this cool niche kernel? How was it called?.. Uhh, I think it was Lunix. Or was it Linux? Yeah, Linux!

!linux@lemmy.ml

Its userbase is pretty small, I bet nobody heard of it on such a tiny platform as the Threadiverse

Someone should really make a !gnu+linux community in the vein of r/linuxcirclejerk

I can think of a German Forest-Fairy, that’s known by name: Holla.

!wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social

I help run the place, so I'm biased.

Anyway, the instance is wetshaving focused, which is to say we use all sorts of nice shaving soaps, razors, blades, etc, and talk at length about it.

A mini event is in the works that most of the regulars are taking part in. Everyone is being mailed a small sample of the same soap, and on July 17th we're all going to use it and give our thoughts.

It's niche, and we know it, so we're open to answering questions, etc.

Mid 30s and still can't grow a beard or moustache. There is no hope for me.

I want to plug the communities I created, but I'm always afraid that's going to be a divisive comment. I have zero desire to really "moderate" anything, but I do have communities that I would love have some engaging conversations in, as well as places where people can exchange helpful info and advice. I am planning to make a community for cleaning and organizing tips and discussions.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

plug away this time since its relevant and not spammy

Thank you. I am a mobile browser peasant.

I’ve never used Lemmy on anything other than my iPhone. I’m too lazy to sign in on desktop.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Same same. I tried one app in the very early days and it was just one more password. Our crude peasant huts are peaceful and we shall thrive here. Unless it rains idk

If you like comedy, there's a stand up show called Kill Tony. Comedians sign up and get 60 seconds to do their best bit/s. I post the link every week to the sub !killtony@lemmy.zip. Check it out if that would interest you, we would love to be more active in the community.

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

yeah that's all over TikTok

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Honest question, how do you use Lemmy but also use Tik Tok? I feel like they are philosophically on opposite ends of each other.

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

I'm going to have to ask you to explain what you mean by that. I use TikTok to learn what's going on on the front lines of Ukraine and Gaza before the news washes it, and I make videos about historical and current events that are interesting but are secretly designed to radicalize people.

tiktok is the reason people know exactly what's going on in Gaza. it's the reason people know exactly what's actually going on at every major protest that's happened in this country in the last 5 years. it's constantly used to disseminate information about crimes committed by the government, and individual governmental employees.

what exactly do you think the single philosophy of a social media platform made up of over a billion international users is?

when you find yourself on the same side as the US Congress, that should cause you pause.

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

and I have to be absolutely honest, all of these people crying about it sound exactly like the boomers on the Congressional panel trying to figure out how the internet works. it's pretty entertaining, but paints a poor picture of the future for people who claim to be wanting a more unfettered internet.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Does the old copypasta work here?

I just downvoted your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of points on your comment has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral votes.

These include, but are not limited to:

• ⁠Rudeness towards other Lemmerinos,

• A joke I personally disagreed with,

• ⁠Spreading incorrect information,

• Positively mention a website I dislike,

• ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the The Instance?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on this Lemmy instance. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Lemmy is privilege, not a right.

Naw dude you just broke it.

They are telling you to remove the markdown links entirely, and just plain write the names of the communities, they will turn into local links on most clients.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !badrealestate@feddit.uk

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Just started a writing club in !writing@slrpnk.net so I'm partial to it. But it is very quiet there.

I've got vague designs on livening the place up, so it's been in my thoughts a bit.
