What is the objective behind selling the chocolate bars? I will have to delve deeper into the topic.

Kash Patel Is Polygraphing FBI Staff to Find Out if They’re Being Mean About Him by AskThinkingTim in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

Enforcing polygraph testing will invariably make people less trusting of you. There needs to specific reasons that target specific people.

I finished reading Anna Karenina and opted to follow up with The Brothers Karamazov. I inadvertently chose to continue reading Russian period classics.

Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square? by AskThinkingTim in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I went there in 2009. I was too young to appreciate the culture. Locals were busy selling tourists goods and I wasn’t even sure what to soak in at the square.

So the Wagner Group is 300km from Moscow and Putin is on his way to St. Petersburg.

Anyone else feels that they're more active on Lemmy than they were on Reddit? by AskThinkingTim in c/microthoughts@lemmy.world

[-] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Lemmy has made me realize that choosing communities (similar to subreddits) is important to me. I try not to search by /all and find information I am interested in. Having to join new communities again is not exactly a problem.

I am Australian and have always known it exclusively as the American term “ladybug”. Never heard of ladybird before.

My understandings on the Fediverse is unclear right now. Will you be able to search for posts just as in stack overflow and reddit right now?

I'm not sure if there is a place to promote your own communities in lemmy.world. I decided to create a thread where you can post and promote your own community.

Mine is focused on watches: https://lemmy.world/c/watches

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago by AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

403 comments fedilink

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂 by AskThinkingTim in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

[-] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'm not saying Lemmy is going backwards, but I prefer this forum vibe I am experiencing here with people expressing their opinions and helping each other.

Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago by AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

How to subscribe to a community in another instance? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

3 comments fedilink

When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "!nostupidquestions@lemmy.ml"

Maybe I just need to wait.

Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

Assuming all the instances will forever be kept, I would join the smallest one. But you never know...

Does anyone know how long it takes to create sign up to the lemmy.ml instance? It seems impossible right now.
