What is this evil plant? in c/[email protected]

TIL! Thanks for the factoid: my dogs have definitely gotten covered in burdock plenty of times too, maybe I should invent something about it

Detective show recommendations? in c/[email protected]

Seconding Broadchurch, it’s incredible. Big Little Lies too. Poker Face arguably counts, with its Columbo-esque “just one more thing” motif. And The Flight Attendant gave me a lot more respect for Kaley Cuoco (of Big Bang Theory fame), though it’s also got some (darkly) comedic elements. Naturally, do a cursory search for all of these before passing them along: I enjoyed them, but idk what your grandparents are like…

Instrumental Week: Brain Collapse - V: Reduplicative Paramnesia (France, 2014) (braincollapseband.bandcamp.com)
 

Vocals are important to me, so I find it easy to overlook the excellent musicianship on display in instrumental projects. This week, I want to highlight that with instrumental metal I might usually pass over.
Note 1: still feel free to post whatever you like, this is just a thing I’m doing
Note 2: if you think I’m bad at identifying genre normally, it’s even harder without vocals, so some posts here might be more appropriately just instrumental prog, idk, but it’s all stuff I think is worth sharing, and it’s just for this week

Instrumental Week: Odyssey - Cult of the Word (USA-WA, 2022) (odysseyspokane.bandcamp.com)
 

This band is never labeled as any sort of death genre, but this track in particular keeps jumping out at me in YouTube autoplay sessions, so I thought I'd share here.

Instrumental Week: Myth of I - Cherophobia (USA-MA, 2020) (mythofi.bandcamp.com)
 

On a recent trip, I filled my copious downtime by traipsing through The Artisan Era, and this was a real highlight of that for me.

What's it like to moderate a lemmy community or kbin magazine? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I [created and] moderate [email protected], and since it’s a niche interest on a fairly small platform, it’s mostly a ghost town, with me posting music I like. This works for me in that I never wanted to mod anything, just wanted to join a community I ended up having to create myself. Though it does feel a bit like shouting into the void.

As far as rules, yeah instance rules are the baseline, then you can stack whatever you want on top of that. Idk how to grow, I’m making everything up as I go along. I’ve been posting regularly myself to put the community on metalheads’ radar, maximizing the variety to try to throw a wide net, cross-posting very occasionally (ok I guess once lol) to related comms, and starting themes (“Secret Killers” for hidden-gem bands, “Left Field” for established bands that haven’t made it big somehow, and “Mods Are Drunk Friday” for posting zany stuff that otherwise might not fit).

Can anyone make a community like one would on reddit? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Yep you can, but it probably has to be through the web interface instead of an app. I created [email protected] myself a few weeks ago, there were no restrictions. It’s literally just the button, then you go through a setup wizard.

Thoughts on The Fugitive (1993)? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

A+ movie. Also makes me wish I could find the early 2000s TV series. It’s probably not worth revisiting, but I’d still like to try.

Tech Death community? in c/[email protected]

Well jeepers, if both mods of a death metal community reply to peer-pressure you into creating your own community, you might want to do so: [email protected]

You'll have uncomfortable amounts of memergy! in c/[email protected]

This is my problem too - login has worked fine with Mlem, Memmy (iOS both), and web interface, but not Liftoff
