Thanks to everyone who put this together. I’m sure it was a lot of hard work, but I think I can speak for the majority of the community that this is something that is extremely valuable to fostering growth over time.
Do any of these have the ability to link an album? I often put multiple photos together, and post the that link to my communities.
Not OP but I do the same thing. I read ebooks on my iPad and Kindle. There’s a feature if you have the audiobook and ebook on the Kindle app, where it’ll highlight the word that is being spoken, but if you move to the next page, the audiobook will jump to where you are.
Huh. Well, so much for being disgruntled about his lack of minutes, eh?
Market probably dried up for him.
Not the OP, but I just left the theater and really enjoyed it. Not the best Pixar film in any sense, but the themes really resonated to me, as a kid with immigrant parents.
It really did a great job evoking the themes of the sacrifices our parents made coming into a new world, the apprehension they developed towards the people already living there, and trying to blend the difficulties of maintaining old cultures/values while growing up in a completely separate ones. I saw that the director, Peter Sohn, had Korean immigrant parents, and it really felt like it was a story of his struggle.
I agree that the trailers were absolutely atrocious and didn’t made any mention of the things I listed above; if my girlfriend didn’t want to watch it, I probably wouldn’t have gone. However, I’m glad I did and even shed a few tears at the end
More than the past year imo; I’d say for the last 3 years or so. I largely started avoiding the comments, but then I realized that a league as popular as the NBA would have news coverage anywhere. I then started following The Athletic for my news; that being said, I do miss having good conversation about the NBA with others. I’m hoping that constructive criticism and disagreements can be upheld here, as that was lost on the subreddit years ago.
...That's it? Might as well have announced it during the Finals, this is a nothing burger. DeAndre Ayton got suspended 25 games for failing a drug test. Ja has flashed a gun twice and got the same amount of games suspended.
As much fun as I had with flairs, I hope it doesn't show up in the near future. It seems like people on the other platforms would make their decisions and responses based off people's flairs, and it often devolved into strawman arguments or just "lel, flair up first before talking to me." Felt like the quality of conversation disappeared when it became straight tribalism in the chat.
This is something that I've found really nice about the Fediverse. It seems like both instances don't really work for you; in that case, you can always find another that might fit your interests! Even if you have the ability to see the communities from each instance, you don't have to participate. Like another poster said, I've made lemmy.world my main instance because I enjoyed the rules and vibe stated there.
Sheesh. First Budenholzer with the tragedy of his brother’s death, now Monty. Don’t know when he necessarily heard the news, but it makes total sense if he wasn’t totally focused during the playoffs.
Sadly, I don't think he's wrong. It's quite easy to see how:
- A lot of people currently on Lemmy still have a pretty big addiction to reddit - I've seen a lot of threads about how they instinctually pull up reddit
- This is still a vocal minority. There were some statistics (I unfortunately can't pull up the numbers - I think I saw them on a subreddit that has gone private), where the number of people using third party applications was an extremely small number that probably won't move the needle for them revenue-wise.
That being said, I personally have been enjoying the discussions being had on Lemmy. It seems to prompt for better discussion, since it appears that most people here are more tech-adept and willing to go through growing pains. I'll likely stick around, but I wouldn't be surprised if the number of active users here drops once this blackout ends. Still hoping for a change.

NBA 2K
I've been an avid fan of NBA 2K since the early 2000's. I absolutely hate how money hungry the game has gotten; that being said, the core offline gameplay is still extremely strong. I'll pop in and play a few offline games just to decompress. It's gotten to the point where I'll put on music or a podcast and find myself idly playing through four quarters of basketball.
