Echoing the need to create and seed (posting some example posts) for communities. On my end, the wiki resources of subreddits were some of my favourite content items, so new communities working on recreating shared pages and resources is right at the top of the list of things that excite me about Lemmy communities. ♥️
Good bot.
Exciting to see! Hopefully we start to get some network effects, and start seeing communities pop up from the different parts of the internet.
One of the things I quite like about Lemmy is that a group can host their own community, and for folks who are concerned about what happened at Reddit or otherwise, the fediverse/decentralized model allows them a high degree of control, while at the same time connecting them through an entire network of people to discover them. It’s pretty exciting to see this.
There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it’d improve the environment.
Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.
History, my friend.
History.
Awww, man.
Now I’m sad.
Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.
Ah! I’m on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually…
I am a proud monthly donor. My couple of bucks I send Ruud and the admin team every month helps make this corner of the internet a reality.
So, that’s how it’s funded.
If you’re able, please consider sending in a donation. You can do so at Open Collective or Patreon.
I adore VLC.
I’ve been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It’s quite friendly.
I’m also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.
