The best community search I know of is Lemmy Explorer. I found !marijuanaenthusiasts@lemmy.world but it doesn’t seem active. There are probably more if you’re willing to spend more than the 30 seconds I did on it.



I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.


Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time
Reddit seems to be fully aware what users are likely to do in the current climate. Do they think people who aren't angry will be louder than everyone else, do they have a plan for protests, or are they just letting the chips fall?

The only celebrities that I met and had a moment to converse with were Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas.

My wife and I met them at a release event for a small electric car company in 2011 or 2012. I had just gotten a copy of “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along blog: The Book” and it was the first time he had seen it. So basically we flipped through the book together and Nathan pointed out things in pictures and talk about who made them or what they were made of.


I don’t think this game has much replayability. Especially as the server is becoming less and less stable.



They built that blockchain back when NFTs of gifs seemed like a good idea and, by god, they’re going to find a use for it.



Bob’s burgers is on in the background at my house quite a lot.


This is warning showing why spreading out is important. No one instance being offline should be able to affect so many Motorheads at once.


I learned the basics of 3D printing and Fusion 360 (CAD software) via youtube. And the 3D printing has gotten easier since I learned.


In the 90’s before I was doing it professionally, I used to go on massive 10 - 15 hour binge programming sessions only stopping when I realized I hadn’t eaten in that entire time. It was some of the best fun I’ve ever had. But it happened rarely and organically, not 5 days a week on a predetermined schedule.


Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

  1. Every day is a day I’d rather have off.
  2. It ruined the thing I loved (programming) for me

The Poop post hit 9Gag a few days days ago. Then a bunch of them started coming to “Lemmy: Discorse is Magic” all the time “ironically.” There were a bunch of inside jokes about how much they “hated” Lemmy. They even came up with a name to identify each other because this joke of loving Lemmy was so funny. They called themselves Broemmys.

Then a bunch of other sites started to notice all the 9gaggers coming to Lemmy but didn’t know that it was supposed to be ironic, so they just came and had a really good time. They participated and were active in communities. They learned of the fediverse and just decided it was a really great place to be… Sometimes there was some NSFW stuff.

Then a bunch of them got together and decided throw Broemmycon and they hired a really pretty good who does Broemmy based music to come and play as the event headliner. And everyone had a good time, even the old 9gaggers who used to think it was a joke.



There are people still alive who remember a world before “splinter-free” toilet paper.

The manufacturing of this product had a long period of refinement, considering that as late as the 1930s, a selling point of the Northern Tissue company was that their toilet paper was “splinter free”.

Wide awake nightmare: A terrible thing you have to live with, you can’t just wake up from it.

As in the line from the MST3k episode The Scream Skull, “This is Micky, Micky is a wide awake nightmare.”


Having just restored a Pop_OS machine I’m starting to give a real hard look at NixOS. Every time I had install a package or make changes (that I end up making on all of my workstations) I kept thinking, “this could all be defined in a single config and I could be done by now…”


My last couple computers have never been sullied by Windows (or “secure” boot).


I just ordered an additional 12TB drive for my NAS because the 12TB of usable space I currently have on it is nearly full. Plus all of that data has multiple backups - I consider 3-2-1 to be a minimal backup strategy.
