I wonder if there should be a more generic pop-culture discussion thread to get it started. I know I enjoy a few aspects of pop-culture and would like to discuss. If you start it people will join
This is what I'm kind of thinking too, like a r/popculture chat, but less related to celebrities and more about general non-political happenings. Maybe I'll message my instance admin and see what hosting something like that entails.
Well if you host it people can join.

I used to interact with people from my country on reddit
Because of that, along with me not watching/reading romanian news, i miss big events like the country being invited to schengen
Wouldn't that be at least on !europe@feddit.org ?
Yes, it was. It was all over lemmy for several days.
No, because Lemmy isn't social media. It's a link aggregator.
Social media requires you to know who the other people are, or at least that the identity and personality of the other people posting matters to what you consume. Apart from one or two attention-seeking exceptions, I almost never notice who posted something.
In fact, Lemmy being a Reddit clone, you may remember Reddit stirring controversy for years as they did try to become social media - adding avatars, followers functions, chat groups, etc.; none of which really suit the platform or its audience. Perhaps as the audience has changed they've gotten what they wanted.
If "social media" is just the ability to comment anonymously on Internet content and argue with strangers, then the guest book on my Geocities soccer page was social media.
most of social media is anonymous, ill remember you theoctonaut from mander, that makes this social media, I remember some users and see them pop up all the time, theres a social aspect, its not just sharing links

I’ve never wanted to be in it.
Yeah, but every time I hear about celebrity shit it's fucking stupid and it pisses me off so I consider missing it a good thing.
DAE died a violent death on reddit years ago. I was there. I remember the backlash.
Let's not revive it here. This place is special.
!nba@lemmy.world has a bunch of active users, including me.
