Check out the book Redshirts by John Scalzi. Itās a meta-satire of Star Trek about what would happen if the redshirts started noticing that anyone who goes on a mission with the captain ends up dying. One of the funniest books Iāve read. As a bonus, the audiobook is narrated by Wil Wheaton.
What sort of description did you use to get this image? Was it just one prompt or a bunch of refining?
Thatās awesome. How much instruction do you have to give it to be close enough to what you remember?
Itās a frustrating growing pain but Iām glad heās working on a fix now rather than waiting until the instance gets overwhelmed
I wonder if theyāll start with the founding of Baghdad proper in the 700s or if theyāll go all the way back to Mesopotamia and Babylon. The article says it focuses of mainly the Abbasid Caliphate in the ninth century but it would be a shame not to include at least something from the cradle of civilization.
What a fascinating project. Iām of two minds about using the storyboard sketch style for the reconstructed content.
On one hand, the footage is lost, and nothing anyone does will be original, so we shouldnāt try to disguise the truth and try to mimic the real footage with the reconstructed segments. Let the original pieces shine and be honest about what has been filled in.
On the other hand, this is something where the use of deepfake technology or incredibly high quality CGI and audio recreation could be a real benefit, so the audience could be immersed in the story without being distracted by the reconstructed content.
It goes both ways. Do you do your best to show the original content and fill in with just enough to keep the story together, or do you try to truly recreate the lost content even though it will never be exactly what they originally created? Do you supplement or replace?
I tried visiting r/pics to see the fallout of its new NSFW status and was blocked by this message.
I tried visiting r/pics (which was recently marked NSFW in a protest of malicious compliance) and was blocked by this message. Sorry if itās already been posted- I canāt figure out search too well.
Two likely possibilities with further detail about each below:
-
The link you clicked took you to the community on the host instance rather than the copy on your local instance, or
-
The community is on an instance thatās defederated with your home instance.
When you view and interact with communities and content hosted on another server, youāre technically interacting with a copy of that community/content thatās hosted on your home server and kept in sync with the main copy. So if I want to subscribe to /c/technology hosted on lemmy.world even though my home instance is sh.itjust.works, I need to visit the copy on shitjustworks at sh.itjust.works/c/technology@lemmy.world
If I went to lemmy.world/c/technology, I couldnāt interact because I donāt have an account on the lemmy.world site.
As I said above, communities and content are copied between Lemmy instances and kept in sync across the copies. But sometimes an instance will ādefederateā with another, ie cutting the direct connection between them that lets them copy and sync content. In that case, thereās no local copy for me to subscribe to or interact with.
The incorrect link is far more likely to be the issue than defederation, so whenever you run into that issue check the link and make sure itās the copy on your instance.
I tried creating an account on lemmy.world at first and could never get it to load correctly. Try joining another instance - lemmy.world is probably overloaded.
Edit: use lemmyverse.net to look through the available instances, their rules, and their uptime stats.
Looks like a pretty standard Friday night ticket for NY or Chicago
I find the Hot view algorithm kind of glitchy - it always seems to jump to 2-3 year old posts after the first few. I prefer the Top views from the past day or week and the New view. You should be able to set your default view in your settings.
And like salarua said, you can switch between your subscribed communities, local communities (everything on your home instance), and all communities across all instances.
Youāre not the only one! Thatās partly why I made that post- on Reddit I would make 1-2 posts a year and only got real traction with 1 or 2 ever. I was always too late for my comments to matter and I usually just browsed and voted.
Here, the community is smaller so each post and comment matters more, and for the most part Iāve found it a lot more welcoming. I realized that engaging more proactively was a lot more fun than on Reddit, and I thought that others would probably be thinking the same way so maybe this post would help break down that passive habit so many of us have from Reddit.
Thereās usually no need to join multiple servers. The only really reason would be if the communities you want to interact with are in instances that arenāt very well federated (ie connected to lots of other instances). Then you may want accounts on the more isolated instances to access that content and an account on a more mainstream instance to give you access to the rest of Lemmyās content.
Managing multiple accounts can be tricky, but Iāve heard some of the apps are good at aggregating the content across multiple accounts. I only have one Lemmy account though so I donāt have firsthand experience.
Iām not sureā¦ whatās Connect?
Check out lemmyverse.net - itās a great tool to browse the communities and instances out there
If you do the āInstall Appā process it actually feels like a standalone app. Not sure how it works without the App Store.
Nice! Hopefully soon one of them can merge my Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon accounts into a single app. Kbin just needs to release some APIs.
Oh that looks so much better than browse.feddit.de. More information and better design. Thanks for the suggestion!
Kbin has it, so users who really want it can get their fix there while still interacting with the rest of us.
I got started with browsing the most popular communities (if you're on a browser, click Communities in the upper left, then pick All under List of communities) and picking the ones that seemed interesting. Then I started searching for ones that mirrored my subreddits and other interests. One thing to note is that Lemmy is growing so fast that you'll often find more than one community about the same topic, so don't be shy about subscribing to somewhat duplicative communities until one comes out on top.
There are still some subreddits that don't have an equivalent here yet, so I check back for those every few days to see if anyone has gotten around to them (I'm definitely not up for moderating myself)
As @Nonameuser678@aussie.zone posted, you can also use https://browse.feddit.de/ to quickly search for communities and see their subscriber, post and comment count to gauge how active they are.
Welcome!
Edit: I just learned about lemmyverse.net which is an even better website to browse both instances and communities. Check it out!

Weāre about to enter another Reddit mass migration phase starting tonight. Weāve already attracted the users most actively engaged with the protests and Redditās changesāusers who are driven enough to put in the effort to grow the Fediverse.
Now we need to make it feel like home to casual users and lurkers. Not just attract them for a few visits, but keep it interesting enough that they stay here in the coming weeks/months.
Major kudos to all the developers working day and night to bring us familiar-feeling apps and interfaces on insanely short timelines. But what can the rest of us do to make Kbin and Lemmy feel like home to all the new Reddit refugees? Populate Lemmy and Kbin with as much quality content as you can find!
Over the next few weeks, fill your magazines/communities with as much good the content as you can. Post comments and subscribe to things. Click that upvote button on content or comments you like.
Not sure where to find good content? Ironically, check out your favorite subreddits for ideas. Make sure we have the best of the content you can find on Reddit. See a good article or link? Post it here! Donāt be shy about posting to interactive communities like Ask Lemmy- weāre after volume.
For OC Reddit posts, see if thereās a non-Reddit page to post here. I donāt know whether itās acceptable to copy text posts, but if you do, make sure you at least give credit/copy a link to the original post.
Basically, do everything you can to engage over the next few weeks and avoid lurking. Show off the Fediverse and welcome the next group of Reddit refugees to their new home.
Edit: I completely forgot to call out all the people hosting and upgrading instances to help with the massive influx of users and keep the sites stable. Thank you, hosts!
