Word on the street is he already kidnapped 200 people for his PSYCHOTIC games

Posts like this are so reassuring because it means mods are doing their jobs well :)

I haven’t used a single TV/receiver back in the day that worked first try. You’d have to twist that one port, pull the other one out slightly, or constantly try to push it upwards to get a good signal. Kids really don’t know how good they have it with HDMI.

While I don’t have the answers I did attempt to write a book for fun many years ago. It was quite an eye opening experience, because it turns out writing a book is hard, and very time consuming. I was only about 20 pages in before I gave up the idea.

That said, you don’t have to actually write a book. Writing creative essays, short stories, and even articles can be very rewarding without needing any long-term commitments. I’d give those a shot before jumping into something as big as making a real book. I still enjoy writing and I’m sure you will too, but you need a ton of commitment to make a book.

The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy’s GitHub page, it’s not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:

Why’s it called Lemmy?

• Lead singer from Motörhead.
• The old school video game.
• The Koopa from Super Mario.
• The furry rodents.

So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.

This is probably in response to the dam being built in the Nile river that might limit the amount of water Egypt recieves.

I’m more of a Charlie Teh Unicron fan

I AM BLEEDING BANANA BLOOD!

Dear god, I expected old memes but this is super vintage I don’t think most people would even know this

I’m not sure if you can do this on the app you’re using, but on the website you can click on your profile --> settings --> disable “Show NSFW Content” and hit save.

Mods are awake, post Lemmings

Nobody knows what’s up. Apparently the admins lost the domain name: https://feddit.nl/post/458654

Yeah, pick the community you want to crosspost to and hit “create”.

This is the crosspost button. If you’re using a mobile app, some of them don’t support crossposting yet. Click this button, choose the community you want to crosspost to, and voila. And yes, it works across instances.

For sure. I’m trying to post a lot more too for communities I enjoy.

God I love wizardposting

I have a friend that’s a lot more technical than me and he said that Lemmy’s codebase is kinda messy and relies on libraries that are still in beta and have not been tested well in the real world (since Rust is a relatively new language). This was a few months ago though, I’m not sure how much things changed since it’s been getting a lot more support and rewrote the front-end. The good news is it’ll get a lot better as more developers contribute to it.

I think a lot of people assume that because it’s written in Rust that means it has to be super stable but that really isn’t the case.

The bot definitely posts a ton of links per hour. I don’t have it subscribed but I do check in every now and then.

It works for me on the website, I’m not sure if mobile apps play nice with links. If I messed up the formatting hopefully someone that knows more can tell me what’s wrong
