  • Active communities promotion thread
  • Cool! Thanks for the Floating Is Fun shout out! I wish that CSS would federate to other instances, even if it's just a header image like Lemmy communities get. You Lemmy users can still use interfaces like Photon and Voyager, and it looks great on those.

    As for me, I like these ones: !wordle@lemmy.world - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday !news@beehaw.org - Good reliable world news that covers important events !usnews@beehaw.org - I'm American and this is better than most of our news outlets !comicstrips@lemmy.world - Good single-serving comics in my feed !vgmusic@lemmy.world - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent

  • Hatsune Miku Flying in the Sky with Balloons by Hatsune Negame
  • Hello, all you Miku fans out there! I'm Hitstun and I'm easily distracted by floaty things. In all my searching, Hatsune Miku keeps showing up again and again because artists draw her floating and flying in every way imaginable. I might as well share the love here too.

  • Any ideas of communities that we could reach out to suggest them to move to lemmy?
  • Hi! !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io mod here. Thank you for the shout out! I'll try to participate here from now on.

    Sub.rehab can show you subreddits that have verified official communities on Lemmy, Mbin, and others. You can import your followed subreddits from Reddit and find their Fediverse counterparts quickly. It's the best place I've found for Reddit users to find communities to follow here, even if a lot of them aren't very active and their Reddit versions are still active too.

    I think Lemmy and Mbin's interfaces scare some people off. A lot of users don't know that Lemmy has plenty of other third-party interfaces like Photon, Alexandrite, Voyager, and of course, Old.

    Mbin lacks these for now, but makes up for it with the rarely-used custom CSS for magazines, just like Old Reddit, and custom JS too! I use mine to create a two-column layout with big thumbnails! Unfortunately, the CSS doesn't federate and is only visible when viewing it on Fedia itself. I'd love to have even a Lemmy-like banner image on other instances.

    For the daily word puzzle Wordle, !wordle@lemmy.world and /r/Wordle both benefit from having a bot post a discussion thread for each day's puzzle as it's released. I go there every day and post how I did on the day's puzzle. I still post and moderate on the Reddit one every once in a while, but I tell them about the Lemmy one while I'm there. The recently-created !dailygames@lemmy.zip does this for several daily puzzle games, but I'm not sure if it's a stronger community or just more cluttered.

    Of course, we could remind Reddit users that the Fediverse doesn't have ads! That was a huge selling point for me.

    And when a Reddit community decides to go all-in and move here, they could consider a full screen redirect link like Old Reddit /r/Mei. I thought about using that redirect myself on my old subreddit.

  • Any ideas of communities that we could reach out to suggest them to move to lemmy?
  • /r/Columbus too. We tried with !Columbus@midwest.social and a few others, but they all died out after a few months.

    To be real, the regulars at !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io are completely different from the regulars I had at /r/FloatingIsFun. I couldn't get most of them to follow me to the Fediverse, and the community I built on the Fediverse mostly benefited from the added exposure of a Lemmy bug that pinned all Kbin posts to the top of /new for two hours.

  • Foreign Rabbits (by s73d)
  • The original title is フォーリンラビッツ. I don't know if the katakana is read like Foreign Rabbits because they're from the moon and not the earth, or like Fallin' Rabbits/Fallen Rabbits because they're simply falling toward either the earth or the moon. Is one more appropriate in the moon rabbits' case?

  • Oh, whoops. The way I formatted the pixiv link before, it didn't display in Lemmy. I've corrected it now. As whimsical as my posts are, I'm very serious about giving proper credit and source links.

    Lemmy and Mbin use different flavors of Markdown, and Lemmy requires a backslash or two spaces to do a line break.

  • Blue Dream
  • Hi there! @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz just informed me we have a Touhou group here, so you guys get a crosspost from my main. I hope I formatted it right. Enjoy!

  • moneyinc.com 20 Worst Colleges in America to Avoid (2023 Updated)

    Choosing a college or university in the US is exciting, but it also requires a careful look at what the school has to offer. Some of the worst colleges in

    20 Worst Colleges in America to Avoid (2023 Updated)
    1. DeVry University
    2. Morris College
    3. Lindsey Wilson College
    4. Fayetteville State University
    5. Shaw University
    6. University of the District of Columbia
    7. University of Michigan Flint
    8. Grambling State University
    9. California State University at Long Beach
    10. Bob Jones University
    11. Nazarene Bible College

    13. California State University Los Angeles
    14. St. Augustine's University
    15. Columbia College Hollywood
    16. Coppin State University
    17. Florida Memorial University
    18. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Eastern New York
    19. The University of South Carolina at Aiken
    20. The University of Montevallo

    > > > Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is one of the worst colleges in America because of their poorly written policies which have been used by the administration to quell free speech. When controversies come to light, the administration has gone so far as to claim “eminent domain” to prevent students from passing out buttons or flyers on campus sidewalks. > > > > You can’t even hand out a flier on the property without gaining prior authorization. The claim of eminent domain is invalid as it deals with the government’s ability to claim property, and it’s embarrassing that they would use the claim when it has nothing to do with the banned activities. They have also punished students who talk to the media about their backward policies.Yet again, it’s marked in the red by The Fire because of its sexual misconduct policy, too. > >

    i wanna get into retro gaming but keep getting losing interest
  • True, it's not that easy to find the good ones. Try browsing around RetroAchievement's hubs, click a category you're interested in, and then sort by "most players". The popular games there might surprise you.

  • i wanna get into retro gaming but keep getting losing interest
  • Losing interest? How about some shorter games that are super high quality all the way through?

    So, what kinds of games do you normally play? We can help you more if we know where you're coming from.

  • What are some good PSP games?
  • Tekken? Nah. It's a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.

    You might want to search for a RetroAchievements collection of PlayStation Portable games.

  • What are some good PSP games?
    • Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are in top shape on the PSP with extra characters and decent single player content.

    • Rock Band Unplugged is a stealth sequel to Frequency and Amplitude, worth a try for juggling a whole band's worth of instruments.

    • I also had a lot of fun with Half-Minute Hero, Lumines, Everybody's Golf Portable 2/Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and the racing games DdCno1 mentioned.

    • And that's not even getting into the excellent options for emulated games, both retail and homebrew.

    • RetroAcheivements PSP games sorted by number of players is a good way to see the most popular games.

  • Who are your favorite NiGHTS characters from the original game?
  • I thought Soft Garden's boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it's satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.

  • Source is desenart on DeviantArt

    Source unknown

    Challenge accepted. These vector trees have been ripped off to hell and back for ten years, but I think the original artist is desenart. Vector art theft just runs rampant. They even got rid of the surfer dude.

  • Dreams of Flying (by Vivian Zhou)

    I think about this a lot. In my dreams, flying feels as natural as walking. Even crazy superpowers I invent and try for the first time work exactly as I expect because it's a dream and everything works as I expect. For a while, I even believed my lucid dream self was my true form and my waking body was just a less-than-authentic character I control in the real world. I now understand that dreams only feel more real than reality because dreams are 100% intuitive. Still, I can't help that being flightless still feels like a disability sometimes. I find myself craving the feeling of flying while I'm awake and unable to experience it.

    Comic from Vivian Zhou on Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram.

    Cute lines against the Czech Benoni for blitz?
  • Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about-- ah, forget it. I'm lucky to keep my elo higher than my @FloatingIsFun@fedia.io post count.

    I dunno, Nc6, then Qa5+, then Nb4? They'll probably take our knight but it stops their attack.

    Then I guess we push king and try to check their king with our king.

  • Ohio’s GOP governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care, transgender athletes in girls’ sports
  • Moments like this make me think Mike DeWine isn't dumb enough or evil enough to actually be a Republican. He actually has a soul and he'll make his own party double-down on transphobia if they're so committed to it. We should've still impeached him for screwing up the March 2020 primary election, though.
