What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?
  • As someone who plays in an orchestra professionally, I totally 1000% agree with you. It's a weird fine line that I enjoy music, but I do it as a career because I really enjoy playing with other people and the music itself is almost secondary. Good luck explaining that to people who Really Like Classical Music, lol.

    There's a lot of elitism in it and it sadly alienates a lot of would-be concert goers, I feel like.

  • Why does “come here” bother me so much?
  • I think some of the other commenters pointing out that it reads as a command is probably a big one, but you did a pretty good job of explaining it here (imo). Even just saying to him that you want a heads up of if it's good or bad and working out a system so you don't stress would probably be a marked improvement for you, and I would bet it'd be an easy fix.

  • Used Windows today since months
  • Usually it's pretty ok but I remember once being in an online PvP match and windows decided right then it NEEDED to update and started the process. It just went into update mode and restarted (oh so slowly) - my guess is there was a popup that I didn't see due to being in-game and it just went ahead and overrode whatever I was doing to update.

  • What's it like to have a positive self-image for those with said self-image?
  • I'm pretty much also in the boat so thanks for writing out a lot of what I was already thinking, lol.

    I absolutely do have some imposter syndrome but what I've chosen to do about it is be completely open with others about having it (I don't advise this if you're a doctor or something like that, I'm in a creative-and-thereby-totally-subjective field). I found that being open about it or anxieties has in turn made others more open in turn, and it's made the nagging voice in the back of my head a lot quieter.

    My best advice for you OP is to learn to really, truly forgive yourself. For little blunders or whatever else, learning to not beat myself up over mistakes or embarrassment was life-changing in terms of being able to curate a sunnier attitude toward my own self.

  • I hate how airports feel like militarized zones now
  • Once at SFO the precheck line was as long if not longer than the regular security line, but it still moved significantly faster. Don't panic too much if the precheck line is long! Not having to unload electronics out of bags and such seems to make it quick even if there's high volume.

  • Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates
  • There are a lot of bots still here so I wouldn't be all that surprised.

    Conversely I'm having the similar issue of blocking one community but then different communities with the same name and content still appear on my feed as if I never blocked them at all. Like playing whack-a-mole.

  • [Feature request] have a permanent opaque top banner

    Super low-priority change request but sometimes the notifications and status bar blur (like in the attached photo) with the titles and photos and obscures both at the same time. Would love to have an opaque bar to keep the notification bar separate.

    What was "that incident" at your high school or college?
  • Lordy this one is so specific I'll probably doxx myself with it, lol.

    Small town college in a pretty red (enough) state, one store in town to buy any groceries unless you have a car and can get to the bigger stores in the next town. Black kid gets tackled fleeing the shop by the son of the shop owners, initial wave of gossip blames racial profiling by the white owners and the students start boycotting the business. College itself gets involved and stops purchasing food for the dining halls (baked goods, etc.) from the shop, severely cutting into their business margins. Turns out the kid was actually shoplifting, and if I remember correctly was shoplifting alcohol while underage, and it becomes a huge fiasco (as if it wasn't already) with the police getting involved and I think the business sued the college. Not positive how it ended as it mostly happened right when I was graduating.

    There were news articles about it online as it got to be a pretty huge deal with the lawsuits and everything. Partly posting this to see how many other people from there at that time are on here (I suspect more than a few).

    Edited to add - turns out there's an entire wikipedia article about this, so have fun anyone who searches for this lmao.

  • Is anyone here good at photoshop and could give her a little superman cape?

    I have no photo editing skills (and no computer at the moment anyway) but this superman sploot deserves a cape I think. 😂

    Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed"
  • I don't have specific info on what's harvested, but I have had mine active for a while and I'm at 300k tracking attempts blocked in the last 7 days. It's absolutely wild.

    Edited to add - they don't specify what is being attempted, just what each company is known to track generally.

  • In which game did you spend the most hours?
  • League of Legends, no doubt (and no idea how many hours across my two main accounts). Just... yikes on a bike, that one.

    Other tops probably Sims if I can count all the different games. Stardew and animal crossing are up there as well, I'm sure.

  • Breakfast time for Penelope with her bff, Rabbit

    I don't know why the picture got rotated during upload but it won't let me fix it 😬

    Bad Gateway errors

    I'm getting overrun with these even when the site is working fine. Sometimes will even have a post load, but as I'm reading it it'll disappear and I'll get a bunch of bad gateway popups at the bottom.

    At the moment it seems to have cooled off after some minutes ago when it was happening constantly, but since it seemed (to my very untrained eye) to be unrelated to server maintenance I wanted to bring this up.

    Edited to add - I had to uninstall and reinstall Connect, but now that has largely fixed the errors. I continually got error messages saying Lemmy.world was down for maintenance when it wasn't, but since reinstalling it it's been fine.

    Request/suggestion: make community names clickable

    Could also be added as an opt-in since I'm sure that could get annoying to accidentally click community names instead of the post title.

    I would love to be able to just hit the bolded community name and navigate to it, rather than options>/c/community or click post, click header to get to the community homepage itself.

    Welcome!

    Hello everyone!

    With reddit becoming inaccessible or just unsavory for a lot of users, many of us are coming to the Fediverse looking for the same niche communities and conversations that we had there. While this is in no way affiliated with any rabbit-related subreddits, I learned a lot and loved to share and see everyone's little and large lagomorphs.

    I made this community in the hope that it can become a place for everyone to share photos, seek support, and ask questions or find information on rabbits of all shapes and sizes.

    Please be respectful and kind, but most importantly have fun.

    It's not a battlestation, but I recently gave my switch a new look and I'm still obsessed with it.

    Hi all, thought I'd start the battlestation posts up here since I just did this recently! I can't upload two pictures apparently (or can't figure out how to) so sorry, just the front is getting posted lol.
