Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

MODERATORS
I really should visit [email protected] more actively, most of the time the posts in there dont even show up on my feeds I think
It's also been in a bit of an expected lull during the off-season. I think it will pick up come next weekend when the season actually kicks off.

Oh, man, if we could find someone on lemmy with the time, energy, and mad skills to do the same kind of race recaps that u/Alphamaxnova1 used to do I would be so happy.

What did it used to be
Reddit had a few really good and active lifting communities. There were interesting program reviews, sometimes everyone would run super squats together and report on the various effects of drinking a gallon of whole milk per day on the digestive tract. And I could help others join in and start lifting themselves into their best selves, since not many people in my real life circle are interested
You could try creating a lifting community on Lemmy, no? Who knows, maybe it would pick up?

Comic_Crits and ctpsd creatives. Somewhere to post personal comic art to share and receive feedback.
I really miss bpt sometimes. Can't stand to be on actual twitter, but reddit wasn't so awful a medium to discuss highlights when I was still on the platform.
Drones
Codes (about ciphers)
Regarfing drones, both [email protected] and [email protected] seem to be somewhat active
Regarding codes/cyphers, I wonder whether something like that exists and simply has an unintuitive community name.. because that topic definitely fits fedi well
I can see posts from 2 months ago without scrolling down. You have a very different definition of "active" lol

I feel like those topics should be prime for lemmy. Most people on Lemmy seem to be quite technical and well educated/smart. Programming.Dev would be a good home for those topics, no?
A general simracing community that's not hosted on .ml
I grew and modded the K League (Korean football) sub previously, and I've wondered about starting one Lemmy. I would like one to be here so that I can can keep up with what's happening easily, but I also kinda like not having a feeling of responsibility to post stuff regularly.
If I did start one, does anyone know if there's any technical problems with creating and modding a comm on an instance different from your home instance?
You could maybe start by posting stuff about korean football into a more general community, like [email protected]

You can only start communities on your home instance as far as I'm aware. However, you can mod remote communities. It just requires some hoops to go through. What you need to do is create an alt on your desired instance, create the community there, then make your main account a mod on it.
Last I heard there's still some problems with it and I'm guessing they won't be resolved soon, like how does moderation work if the reportee is on an instance that's defederated with yours but not the community instance?
Your options are either to create an alt to mod (or just move to the other instance) or to start the community on your home instance.

I never actually participated in discussions on there, but r/soccer is still my go-to source for keeping up to date with football news. That's probably the one I feel the most.
[email protected] seems to be the currently active football/soccer community on lemmy. Additionally there are club-specific communities hosted on fanaticus.social

It exists, but there is almost nobody writing. I also haven't seen any other writing communities. I'm not interested in writing, usually, but I always enjoy reading what others have wrote.
HFY is basically the only reason I get on Reddit nowadays.
Sometimes I struggle with writing prompts for AI and I don't understand why it is not doing what I want. I wish there was a active community for helping with that.
For example I wanted it to go through this post https://piefed.jeena.net/post/125521 and list all the movies mentioned and augment them with the release date, director and genre. But it already fails at just finding the movies mentioned. I thought this is a perfect thing to do for AI which I can do easily manually but it just takes time, but nope.
Yeah that is a perfect use for AI. Here’s what I came up with:
Using this list of classic movies, can you create a table which also includes each movie’s release date, director and genre? (Insert list of movies)
Here is a table that includes each movie's release date, director, and genre:
| Movie Title | Release Date | Director | Genre |
|---|---|---|---|
| M | 1931 | Fritz Lang | Thriller, Crime, Mystery |
| Gone with the Wind | 1939 | Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood | Drama, Romance, War |
| The Godfather | 1972 | Francis Ford Coppola | Crime, Drama |
| Taxi Driver | 1976 | Martin Scorsese | Crime, Drama, Thriller |
| Murder on the Orient Express | 1974 | Sidney Lumet | Crime, Drama, Mystery |
| One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest | 1975 | Milos Forman | Drama |
| Rear Window | 1954 | Alfred Hitchcock | Mystery, Thriller, Crime |
| Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb | 1964 | Stanley Kubrick | Comedy, War, Satire |
| Chinatown | 1974 | Roman Polanski | Mystery, Thriller, Drama |
| Le Grande Bouffe | 1973 | Marco Ferreri | Comedy, Drama |
| L'Avventura | 1960 | Michelangelo Antonioni | Drama, Mystery, Romance |
| Tengoku to jigoku (High and Low) | 1963 | Akira Kurosawa | Crime, Drama, Thriller |
This table lists the movie titles alongside their release dates, directors, and genres. Let me know if you'd like more details or adjustments!
See, yours didn't list all the movies either, just the ones from the post but not the comments. I tried to copy and paste the whole conversation but that also didn't really work. One time I thought it did it because it came up with over 100 movies but then when I checked it just invented movies instead of listing the ones which were in the conversation.
