Who has two thumbs and was drawn on a phone? in c/[email protected]

Ooh, which drawing app did you use for this?

Oh! Hey, it is cool! Sorry to have rained on that, it was a fault in how I was reading it more than the way you wrote it, I think

I'm confused on your use of "but" here; are you aware you can do likewise within Mastodon (and in some more interesting ways, Misskey & its forks) and third-party apps without another tool (Skyfeed) or any coding? Regardless, I agree that custom feeds have a lot of potential, albeit I've not found many that demo it yet.

What are some user friendly LAN text messengers for mobile/PC? in c/[email protected]

Oh! Duh! I knew I was forgetting something. Yeah, Windows/Android.

Apart from the HackerNews sort, wouldn't this also be feasible with a list on Mastodon/Akkoma/Misskey of news accounts (unofficial and official)?

How do you search for honest product recommendations? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

While Lemmy doesn't have enough people for each product category yet, have you checked out the community [email protected]?

There's also [email protected] for broader discussion, but it's not gained much traction yet.

Which types of work suit those that prefer to work alone, or with smaller teams? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Anyways. I know you probably wanted a story that was more interesting than depressing, but that’s just one that really stuck with me from that point in my life there. I don’t think that’s a normal experience for a Night Auditor to have, so I wouldn’t take my experience as a reason to dissuade anyone from taking the position, but you asked for a story, and so you got one.

Even a depressing story is interesting in its own way, so I appreciate it all the same! I can see why the experience stuck with you, it's a rough situation to find oneself in for almost all involved

Why Americans' confidence in finding a new job is tanking even as the labor market is humming along in c/[email protected]

For those interested in discussing their job searches, did you know there's a [email protected] community? Not terribly active at the moment, but given the discussion here there seems to be some potential interest

Is there an active community for sharing a variety of different websites? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Is Feddit.de still online? I see "Server error" when visiting...

afterthought
btw this suggestion was most in line with what I was wondering about

Got bored and decided to flood hell... with honey in c/[email protected]

The bees will be pleased!

Any odd stories from that job?

Most people are only half-listening in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you suppose most may only be half or quarter-reading too?

1
What is the donkey of birds? (lemm.ee)
48
What are some things you would like to see a sort of spiritual successor to? (lemm.ee)
 

Not a remake or remaster or rerelease of something old, but something inspired or influenced by something either popular or a cult classic. Also this could extend to hardware/tech too, not only media.

61
If another species on Earth began to develop civilization, how would you like to see them approached? (lemm.ee)
 

Would you prefer a hands-off, leave them to their own devices kind of approach, a keep at arms reach gently advise, or something else altogether?

1
Would you move to a city designed after a water park? (lemm.ee)
 

As in lots of water slides as a way around, pools for the splashings (or whatever you call a watery landing), and in general whatever else a water park may have going on.

btw...i've never been to a water park, but I know the horror stories surrounding them...Let's just imagine somehow those are addressed here.

41
What are some other sites like Lichess for tabletop/board games? (lemm.ee)
 

For those unaware, Lichess is a really slick site for playing chess online, and a kinda similar site exists with Online Go for playing Go online.

Would love to know if there may be similar for classic card games and dominoes, and thanks in advance for any pointers!

40
How have you related pseudonymous online work/activity when applying for jobs? (lemm.ee)
 

This is something I've gone back & forth over as I've contributed to some projects online but have been hesitant to mention it when applying for jobs. Typical reasons such as wanting to keep work/personal life separate.

10
What led you to sign up on Reddit early on? (lemm.ee)
 

Was it one of the only places you found a forum for something you were interested in or a fan of? Or something else entirely?

78
For those active across the fediverse, who are some creatives you follow and which creative communities do you enjoy? (lemm.ee)
 

Creatives of whichever fields, whether writers, artists, musicians, meme-makers, developers, film makers, and the like and/or communities, I'm curious to know about some of the people around the fediverse creating some original stuff.

I know of a few over on the Mastodon side, and some communities forming here, but I imagine there are way more I'm unaware of.

28
How do some fans of genres avoid becoming jaded with similar material? (lemm.ee)
 

Emphasis on the some, as I know all too well the old tale of no one not enjoying [subject] more than fans of [subject]. Also to be really clear, this isn't intended as a dig at those that don't become jaded, so much as genuine curiosity.

I've had the misfortune of really enjoying some genre stories only to find it harder to maintain interest in others I come across due to overfamiliarity making what might otherwise be interesting twists or turns feel a little...Predictable. It's a bummer that even taking breaks from some genres doesn't seem to assuage.

29
If you could custom make your perfect shoes, what features would they have? (lemm.ee)
 

Preferably realistic features, but if your perfect shoe involves some kinda anti-grav hover features, I'd absolutely understand.

Heelies? Pfft, check out my real hover-slides.

61
What were some ways old community sites grew before stuff like search engine optimization became prevalent? (lemm.ee)
 

Was a lot of it classic word of mouth, email, etc.?

I imagine something like that, but I'm wondering as I feel like there may be some useful pieces of knowledge that may be worth recalling as people gradually start to move back out of the more centralized sites/services.

42
Which heightened/different senses of other animals would you most like to experience (while still being human)? (lemm.ee)
 

Of the senses we're familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.
