Dude same... Solidly over 100 comments in 3 days. Nothing I have to say is that important.

Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Mainly that there are really solid midrange android phones nowadays. I just can't justify the iPhone pricetag.

I've been learning Spanish so hopefully I can get to some of these soon - currently on approx. a Middle Grade reading level.

What's your definition of one-bagging? in c/onebag@wayfarershaven.eu
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For me it's generally one large pack (30-45l) and a small sling bag (maybe 10l.) I generally also carry a very small packable backpack for beach trips, day trips etc. And occasionally for food transport between hostels.

AITA for buying my wife chocolate? in c/aita@lemmy.world
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

NTA she's probably just insecure about having eaten the chocolate faster than she thought.

Also I've been to Exeter St David's multiple times how did I miss it!

Saw a religious one on the way to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem yesterday. They're pretty awesome.

Hopefully we can get book vending machines everywhere!

I think it's more fun than communities, so no.

I'm thinking we should have a central post for all the book sublemmys so we can easily find them. The ones I'm aware of are: Lemmy:

Fediverse:

Sublemmys in other languages would be great to add here too! I'll keep adding more as I find them.

How many of you are using Bookwyrm (federated alternative to Goodreads)? (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/42666

I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It's not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it's federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won't get lost in the sea so much and I've found that it's been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.

Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What's your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is Unfreeze4257@books.theunseen)

What do you think of r/books silence on the API changes? (lemmy.world)
 

Unlike many other large subreddits r/books has not made any statements about the API changes. I did try and post something about it but it ended up getting deleted. At 22.1 million users this would be a pretty significant addition to the protest.

Does anyone know why there hasn't been anything official?

What's everyone been reading recently? (lemmy.world)
 

For me in SciFi I've been trying to hit some classics so I've read 'The Iron Dream' by Norman Spinrad, 'A Time of Changes' by Robert Silverberg and also the (recent release) 'Out of the Ruins' anthology.

Of those three I enjoyed 'The Iron Dream' the most since I didn't enjoy Silverberg's potraryal of women (and it doesn't seem to have literary intent like in 'The Iron Dream'.) 'Out of the Ruins had some bangers but it was a fairly inconsistent collection for me that mostly hasn't been memorable.

So, what are you currently reading or have recently read?
