There sure is! A few actually, but [email protected] seems to be the only one with real activity.

If you're on a browser, you can search for communities with the search button in the top right. Make sure you set the Search dropdown to Communities and the Subscribed/Local/All option to All. The search can take a little time and it's not predictive, so you may need to search a few times to see everything. For instance, I searched for both aita and asshole to see all the AITA communities.

https://browse.feddit.de/ provides a more user-friendly experience with real-time searching and filters for the different instances in case you don't want to engage with one or it's defederated from your instance. Plus it shows you how many posts and comments each community has so you don't have to click on each one to see how active it is.

Welcome to Lemmy!

Good point, I completely forgot to call out all the people hosting and upgrading instances to help with the massive influx and keep the sites stable.

You can't fire me, I quit!

I know, it's something I have to keep reminding myself of too. If I ever find myself thinking 'man, this content feels stale,' that's also my fault and something I can fix

Agreed. I read Wool for the first time a couple weeks ago and watched the first 2 episodes just to see that storyline in live action, and was really disappointed by the lack of the reveal.

Memmy is also a great Apollo-like app for iOS. They say they’re hoping to launch it in the App Store today, but if you can’t wait here’s the TestFlight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Sounds like some tokens broke when Reddit pulled the plug. Still no access to content, but Christian has fixed the app itself in case anyone still wants to tip, refuse a refund, get the wallpapers, or download their data.

Anyone who’s interested in this should check out the book All Yesterdays, where artists have tried reimagining dinosaurs with actual muscle and fat instead of the shrink-wrapped look. They updated some classic dinosaur designs based on recent findings, such as how triceratops may have had spines/quills along its back like a porcupine.

To demonstrate how unrealistic the shrink-wrapping style is, for the second half of the book they applied that technique to known modern animals with some terrifying results, like these swans.

How does it feel on Mastodon posts? Are you able to follow Mastodon users?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

That would be great. It’ll take some pretty good UI/UX design to make a single experience that works well for both types of communities. Looking forward to seeing what developers come up with.

 

Mastodon has a ton of apps and Lemmy app development is going crazy right now. Are there any apps that can use both Lemmy and Mastodon accounts (and preferably Kbin accounts too)? I know the interfaces may need to be different, but the protocols are the same as far as I understand it, so it seems technically possible.

The entire point of a protest is to cause inconvenience and annoyance. It’s how you get people to pay attention. Otherwise you’re just the crazy man yelling at clouds.

Sounds like they were gonna put it to a community vote
