As an example. This is the sort of post I’m talking about: https://tech.lgbt/@spaduf/110941439731236455

@bookstodon Not sure if this is anybody’s cup of tea but there’s a new Lemmy instance dedicated to books and writing over at: https://literature.cafe

The best part is you can participate from your existing fediverse account. Communities on Lemmy can be followed like users and have similar functionality to a.gup.pe groups!

Try following @fiction as an example but remember that federation doesn’t backfill.

More communities can be found here: https://literature.cafe/communities

Already sitting at about 8 boosts and several favorites from some folks with a fairly large follower count. That means potentially thousands of eyes. I went ahead and put together a dedicated user as I think that may be more appropriate than spam posting Lemmy communities/instances on my personal account. Not sure when I’ll have time to flesh it out and make it active but I’ve already got a list of communities/instances and what groups I think would be interested in them. Find it here:

This is the craziest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

Hit us with those recs

This was my favorite album long before I knew what any of those words meant.

That’s amazing to hear and I really feel like beehaw is exactly the sort of space that could pull it off. Y’all do great work over there

I’ll be honest a big motivation for posting this is to try to get feminist men active in a dedicated community on Lemmy. Currently there’s [email protected] but it’s fairly inactive. Trying to give it a bit of a jump start so if anybody feels like that’s something they would benefit from please check it out! Also if anybody knows of a similar community with more activity please let me know.

I think it’s best acknowledged that FunkWhale is much closer to a federated Soundcloud than a federated Spotify. Still a very cool project.

Am I understanding correctly that you did not sleep it or turn it off before putting it in your bag?

Here’s a kind of explanation of the folklore around it: https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2022/06/03/no-ancient-skythian-enarees-didnt-drink-urine-from-pregnant-mares-as-a-primitive-form-of-hrt/

In the old days it meant drinking pregnant mare urine

I understand the desire to automate this sort of thing and I can understand the utility at first but I think we should absolutely be afraid of that in long term use. Instead I think people should use the built in cross posting function to link conversations from different communities. I think this is a great way to build slow diffusion of communities into the fediverse.

See my post here for an example: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/217550
