... I'm so stupid. I've been a Reddit user for over 12 years, constantly use "site:reddit.com" in online searches, have been DMing a currently 2.5 year long 5e campaign, and never once thought to look for a subreddit dedicated to DnD DMs.... Welp, here's hoping someone creates a similar community here.

I don't know nearly enough about the infrastructure to have any educated input, but I'm curious if instances upgrading to new servers affects the reported numbers as well? I don't know how user data is being scraped from all instances, but I'd imagine that server changes could affect that. Again, speaking out the ass, but that's my 1 cent.

As someone who makes music people don't generally care about, I'd love to hear what you're up to. I also mix/master people's music for free, so if you want something touched up send me a message.

I've been sorting by All/New and have found quite a few good communities so far. It's not a great solution but it works pretty well.

Free? All I was sent was a coupon for a bag of chips with a sandwich purchase...

Our other cat is named Beans so that's definitely doable lol

I can't tell if this is a serious question or not, but it's pretty complicated to fully explain. The short of the long of it is that now that MySpace has started to use retina verification for their 2FA, people are upset that it's an invasion of privacy due to the reflective nature of human ball eyes. Since Lemmy only requires a password for mod accounts, it's an easier platform for people to use to share embedded auto play music and glittery gifs. I don't think it'll last though, word on the street is that Digg is going to be removing all authentication methods soon, so I expect a majority of the userbase will move there

 

Still getting used to Lemmy, not sure the best way to seek out communities yet. I'm a lover of all things pool and would love an active community for it. If there isn't one already I might be interested in creating it eventually, I've just got some real life stuff happening right now that wouldn't give me much time to maintain a community properly. If anyone knows of any pool communities, let me know!

Very nice! I own a pool store and love seeing stuff like this. Great wood choice, I'm jealous.

Honestly the best thing for Lemmy would be if Reddit did completely reverse this decision and retain it's users. Then, Lemmy would remain relatively small and act as a much better internet community. If Reddit loses a large portion of it's users to Lemmy (to be fair, I am one of these people), then eventually Lemmy will become a festering wound as well. I mean, when Reddit was young it felt just like Lemmy does today, and none of us at that time could have ever expected it to end up this way.

Couldn't agree more. I actually signed up on a difference instance a couple days ago, but never got a confirmation email or anything and thought I just had to wait for a manual process. (the instance had me answer questions they said were needed to be answered to join) I got tired of waiting and didn't know how to message anyone about it, so I just signed up here. It was super quick and easy, but the overall process is confusing for sure. Excited for the platform though, I think once you get past the learning curve it's very promising.
