    Too many of the same mods is bad for Fediverse

    Jump

  • The magic of the Fediverse is that even if some of the other comments are right and you're the problem, you can go and spin up your own instance with your own rules. Other instances might not federate with you, but that's the whole point. Everyone can federate with the other instances of their choice.

  • 'Huskie' Dogs on the Frozen Highway (Talking Musquash) - Frederic Remington (1892)

  • Fascinating, thanks!

  • Might want to try making sure you've got the latest app version if you haven't already. Beyond that, might want to try posting in !loops@lemmy.world. Logging in works for me 🤷

  • Any idea why the guy isn't riding the sled?

  • How are you doing with your communities?

    Jump

  • It might actually be worth setting up a script that posts wiktionary's word of the day to !wotd@lemmy.world, or at least doing it by hand. Coming from my other comment, it'll probably help to using "pre-existing" content like that.

  • How are you doing with your communities?

    Jump

  • Growing a community where the content already exists seems easier than coming up with content from scratch, unsurprisingly. I've started 3 Lemmy communities for comics and they keep growing because I post old comics every day. Each one has enough of a backlog that I'm not going to run out any time soon (One of them has ~50 years of backlog 😮)

    I think it also helps that it's not just a simple RSS feed, which already existed for SMBC. Posting old comics along with new comics, but then going through the effort of formatting the posts nicely seems to help a lot. I'm also considering writing a script that automatically handles some of the upstream oddities, like some sites storing pictures as gifs that some apps display as movies instead of images, making it hard to zoom and whatnot.

  • !loops@midwest.social is growing steadily. Getting a decent number of good comments, but I'm also hoping for more contributors. It might just be too early yet, since Loops has a small enough amount of content that one person (i.e. me) can catch up on everything posted since I last looked and repost it to Lemmy.

    What's kind of interesting is that I've eschewed Loops-like social media until now, so I understand why people might not like it joining the Fediverse. I'm hoping that promoting it though will help the Fediverse as a whole grow. Right now it's not federated, and there's not even source code published anywhere, but it's made by the guy behind Pixelfed and he's said both of those will happen, so I don't have any doubts.

  • US Postal Service demands rural carriers send back “overpaid” wages right before Christmas season

    Jump

  • I really hope the response to that is "get bent, you fucked it up"

  • Why car culture sucks

    Jump

  • Weird, that menu should have a share button in it. Maybe try checking that you have the latest version?

    If that doesn't fix it, !loops@lemmy.world would be a good place to ask

  • I can't imagine being paid to act like I enjoy working in the office

    Jump

  • Edited my comment to be more clear. I'm quoting what the company says in the screenshot to defend themselves. Nobody asked the company what they think of the open office plan, if you really cared you'd ask the employees that have to put up with it.

  • I can't imagine being paid to act like I enjoy working in the office

    Jump

  • The company:

    Nooo! We love our open concept office! ☺️

    Nobody asked you. Let's see what your employees think of it

  • My new community called "DataBackRibs"

    Jump

  • Subscribed! You might want to clarify if this is a community for where to post good studies, or where to post studies that you're unsure on if they're good and want critical analysis of the data, or both.

  • Love the Art Nouveau style. Is it just me though, or does she have an abnormally long neck? Maybe it's her shoulder?

  • Bonus panel:

    You're useless out of water and die after an hour. Of course you should go chasing after a villain into the barren mountains and leave Aqualad behind when he gets too weak 🤦
