The whole thing tbh, no one bothers posting, including the mods. Things like news being days and days behind. People posting communites on this thread they want to be more active on here, but the subs are empty. Get posting.

So many users complain about posts, but never post themselves.

I have an RTLSDR connected to satnogs. It's not a huge setup but it's mine.

Thanks for letting me know about the community!

Would you consider Earth's moon an amateur satellite or a professional? I mean, she's been doing it for a really long time. But IDK if she does it as a hobby or to pay the bills.

Why is it called "ham radio"? What do lunch meats have to do with this???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Basically, it was a prejoritive term insulting those bad at morse code ("Ham fisted"), and it stuck around

The community from the old place is pretty active, I wish more of them would flow over here.

I think the top post here has a few hundred upvotes, and the average upvote count is ~20, but people gonna go where they feel they will get the most engagement.

lemmy.mindoki.com/c/aip Art In Progress.

Because it's mine and it's empty now as I had to wipe my lemmy server (it never worked OK, super sluggish, the federation was skipping more and more, and the database was over 10GB).

I'll try to make it live again :-)

Edit: [email protected] thanks brb!

I mainly used the other site for niche microinterests, but because Fedi itself is so niche too, that means the venn diagram doesn't have enough overlap to sustain these communities. And sadly I'm not sure if it ever will.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm honestly surprised to see how large the Splatoon community on the Fediverse is. I've seen a pretty big presence on Mastodon, as well.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I play American mahjong, is that allowed over there?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Well considering the community appears to be completely dead, I doubt anyone's gonna care either way...

I hereby invite all ya'll to join and contribute your favorite Tom Swifty jokes to [email protected]

If you're unfamiliar with the format, they're jokes where the described manner of speaking is a pun on what's said, eg.

"Have you heard me singing in church?" Tom inquired.
