These are all excellent communities, and invariably some of my favorite posts of the day. I’m seeing them on lemmy.world, btw.

!cyberpunk@lemmy.zip - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre
!wavemusic@lemmy.world - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting
!gothindustrial@lemmy.world - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I’ll post something later today.
!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion
!fedigrow@lemm.ee - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @Blaze@reddthat.com has been posting a weekly thread on “how is your [niche] community doing?” which is kind of like a support group for people keeping communities alive
edit: how could I forget, !shortstories@literature.cafe - links to short stories online in all genres
I thought the swiss people seemed sometimes kinda "rude"or maybe a better word for it “cold” and a little annoyed
I have some Swiss-American relatives, and I think this is cultural. They just have a different set of indicators, they’re not going to be grinning and hugging.
I have a friend who went to London and just ate at Whole Foods all the time. So, vegans can survive.
“smoke copium, non-resident”?
This would make an awesome episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”
visiting a neat-sounding community and realizing all the posts are by the single moderator (and are getting less and less frequent).
This will be a key moment towards Lemmy’s growth or decline. Especially in non-tech/meme/politics communities, it’s so easy for the only poster be a single person who is posting daily, and who then simply runs out of content. Maybe the solution is for each frequent poster to post non-daily on several different communities. Anyway, check out !fedigrow@lemm.ee, @Blaze@reddthat.com has started posting a weekly thread on “How is your niche community doing?”
Make sure you listen to Eye of the Tiger: 30 minute intro while watching that.

if you took the world and seperated its humans by intelligence, the “idiot” group is going to be much bigger than the “PhD” group. Like…by a lot.
No… you’d have a bell curve. But even that assumes you have a single good measure of intelligence.
I kind of agree with the rest of your post, but I would have worded it a bit differently, emphasizing that people who found it difficult to start using Lemmy might still be worth having around. Also, I don’t think “as large as Reddit” or “small niche unknown” are our only options.
Ellison was trolling. He did that a lot.
I think many people see it as normal/expected.
Yes, that’s it. People born in the early part of last century (my grandparent’s era) only knew over-the-air TV which in the US included commercials. It was just part of reality, like billboards by the highway.
Lifetime movies are awesome because you can put them on in the background and they’re not at all distracting from the main task you’re working on.
some people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan.
Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.
“And if I’m NOT elected, I’ll be EVEN MORE carniverous!!!”
It will now require Windows Hello (via facial recognition and/or fingerprint)
So Microsoft also wants my fingerprints and a realtime capture of my face? Yeah that totally addresses my concerns. /S
Yeah, they’re so focused on screwing me over that I’m worried eventually I’ll miss something.
Yeah but you’re right.
That data they’re collecting is more valuable now that it can be used to train A.I.s. A couple years from now they’ll push some update that lets them exfiltrate it (or its usable features.)
@PugJesus@lemmy.world it’s time to “cross the Rubicon” to full federation!
