    Yeah I love Lemmy, but I feel like it’s being held up by a few different people. I comment and even occasionally post to try and help with that, but it’s kind of scary how much weight is on a few peoples’ shoulders, and that’s not even accounting for server owners and the devs

      That’s the way it is with every platform, you only have a comparatively small proportion of people who do a huge share of the posting.

      Reddit has the advantage of being absolutely massive that the power posters is also still a huge number. I’d imagine even the biggest of entire Lemmy instances is smaller than some of the major subreddits, which personally I’m fine with. This emmy instance isn’t some major corporation beholden to growing value for shareholders at all costs, but on the other end it still doesn’t mean the admins can do everything without monetary or labor support from us.

      The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.

      To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

      I try to post content, but I’ve found that it’s certainly more clunky than submitting to reddit ever was. Share url to sync or jeroba isn’t as smoooooth as submitting to reddit through RIF. I wish there was an easier way on desktop which is where I do most of my surfing.

        Every time I submit something, it gets removed for not being in the proper community.

        Like dude, the proper community doesn’t exist and I don’t have the time to mod a community!

      That’s because according to Valve law, when he dies the whole company cannot be passed along to his successor

        The official decree:

        “Hear ye, hear ye! It is hereby declared that the illustrious title of Most Qualified Employee, and with it the weighty responsibility of running this corpulent company, shall be passed down to the employee who rises to the occasion like a perfectly baked soufflé and demonstrates the most beefy credentials and chubby qualifications.

        To ensure a buttery-smooth transition, we shall evaluate each candidate’s credentials with a fine-tooth comb, weighing their skills and experience like a well-balanced scale. The chosen one must have a talent as rich as double cream, a work ethic as solid as a pound of cheddar, and leadership as commanding as a towering stack of pancakes.

        Let it be known that the path to this lofty (and hefty) position is no piece of cake. Candidates must show they’ve got the guts and gristle to handle the job, bringing more to the table than just a meaty resume. They must prove themselves in the frying pan of daily operations, sizzling with the kind of excellence that turns ordinary employees into seasoned pros.

        So gird your loins, flex your flab, and prepare to show that you’ve got the chops to take a bite out of the competition. The future of our portly powerhouse depends on it.”

        [email protected] has been a huge success. And the monthly active user-count suggests there’s plenty room for subscriber growth still.

        Now that the season is over, I suspect the people who don’t watch shows weekly will start joining, too. And season 2 will be even more great as then the community will already be around and have a user-base.

        Can’t wait.

            Dungeon Meshi, or Delicious in Dungeon, is a renowned manga series by Ryoko Kui, and my personal favourite of all time.

            The first half of an anime adaptation by Studio Trigger (of Kill la Kill and Cyberpunk Edgerunners fame) just wrapped.

            It’s about a party of adventurers that lose one of their members deep in a dungeon, right before using a return spell to get all but that one member back to the surface to safety.

            Having lost most of their gear, provisions and all of their funds, they resort to the taboo of eating the monsters they kill as they delve back into the dungeon to retrieve the remains of their lost companion, so they might revive her.

            The entire story takes place within just this one dungeon, and is a masterclass in extreme-detail world building and lore. The same goes for the characters.

            The series starts off at a slow burn, masquerading as a comedy with unusually intricate worldbuilding, but slowly develops into a phenomenal fantasy story that dives deep into its characters.

              Interesting. That sounds very interesting and up my partner and I’s alley. Is the anime adaptation well done then I’m assuming? Is it worth delving into both?

              Thanks for the information. We were looking for another anime to start watching!

                The adaptation is fantastic. It even elevates some parts beyond what is possible in manga, taking full advantage of the way animation, sound and music allow for more complex expression of a narrative.

                The manga is also great, and worth experiencing. Having read it in no way ruined the anime for me.

                The story is so insanely full of details that even if you don’t get into both manga and anime, whichever medium you prefer is worth watching/reading twice, just because you notice and put together new things on a second go.

                  Aha thank you for such succinct answers 😃, we will be checking out the anime soon. We love double watching things because you really do often see a lot of the nuance that goes into it! Especially when it’s very well built like this sounds to be! I’ll definitely also check the manga myself!

    I used to visit a classic forum like this. One person really carried the conversation and then suddenly disappeared and the forum died. Still have no idea what happened to them. Hope they just got bored or preoccupied with life.
