You’re welcome. Rock on!
David’s wit is something that I marvel at.
Lemmy wish you a Happy Cakeday! May your post counts be high and your comments be gold.
673 communities are blocked. Which, to be honest, is a hell of a lot more than I thought I had blocked. I thought I might have around 150 communities blocked. Most of them are sports, sports teams, video games I have no care for, weird ones, apps, gender communities, and furry oriented communities. I get around the porn ones by not having NSFW enabled.
Talk about, burning ring of fire.
Also, I wonder who made Conan’s welding mask… for his ass. And how does he keep it on? You know, because if you didn’t have any protection back there, you’d get a welder’s tan… around your butt.
IIRC: Devs added the new filter, “Scaled” for this exact reason. Gives newer and smaller communities a chance in the sun.
Over the past two months, I’ve noticed a drop in engagement on Lemmy. Communities that used to have a decent amount of new content posted over a week, are now lacking or nonexistent. I’ve noticed this to be highly true with all communities with less than 3k subscribers. I don’t recall the name of the theory, but it was something like ‘community content theory.’ It goes something like this:
‘Around 1% of people in an online community will share content and/or try to provide original content. To have this number grow, you have to provide a way for the content posters to continue to post.’
https://www.psychreg.org/psychology-content-creating-why-we-share-what-we-share/
In my experience, the third one rings true most often with people.
That being said, we should take a look at the kind of communities that are not getting much engagement.

Here we can see the stats for all of the communities across hundreds of instances. (Filters can be applied.)
What’s surprising to me, is the ratio of subs to active users there are. After a two minute look, I believe I see that there are a few outliers where they have nearly all of the subs active and fewer that have more actives to subs. Most of what I’m seeing is around 1/3 ratio of subs to active users per week, of the best performers. Definitely not the norm.
I have a few theories as to why this is, but would love to hear from others.
I liked the quote until I started to think of the negative parameters of such a saying. It comes down to who is saying it < their intention.

So you drink ‘wine’ that is less than a year old? A bit odd imo.
Tremendous cock suck’a!
Oh, that’s cool. Thanks for sharing.
I have a strong feeling that you will not believe me when I say I use Edge as my daily diver vs Google Chrome now.
As for the disclaimer, there isn’t a rule against sharing TILs about corporations, their products, or services.
I get that you are weary of corporations using bots or people to influence others to buy, subscribe, or use their things. But… idk… this isn’t Reddit. So why would they care about doing so on Lemmy.World?
Oh man. Back when AFI was punk. Love that song!
The Tony Hawk series was a great way to discover new music back before music streaming was a thing.
My first ever favorite song was DuckTales - Theme Song.
If TV show songs are off the list… then it would be, it would have to be The California Raisins - Lean On Me (Cover).
Don’t feel too bad. I’m certain that at least 100 million mothers had to hear that song on repeat, from across the world. It was HUGE amongst the kids at my school in the US.

Fuck the US Supreme Court.
