My starting word gave the weird rare 🟨⬛⬛🟩⬛, and it took me a while to figure out how to play on from there.

One legal move for my 3rd turn was MULCT. Apparently, a mulct is a fine or tax, derived from the Latin word mulcta which means "fine". Did any Wordle player anywhere actually try that guess today?
That flying broom delivery service game I Kickstarted and posted here before is finally out on PC and Switch! I'm holding onto it until I can stream again, but as of half an hour ago, everyone else can get it now. The floaty vibes are strong with this one.

Yeah! I jumped into Wordle at midnight and nailed the 3/6... Uh, Wordle, are you trying to tell me something?
I realized my last three posts here were all the same type, and on Wednesday I'm totally using it again on Wednesday, so I needed something completely different here. If you have fish swimming in the air, how do you catch them? Find a perch high enough and hope the fish don't look up.
By the way, this artist at least had Twitter at some point, but I couldn't find it because it changed usernames at least three times or just got deleted. It's probably not worth the effort to track it down anyway.

Yikes! I made that one more scary than it had to be.
would've been fun if the local magazines were somewhat more active.
I originally chose Kbin/Mbin over Lemmy because of the added support for Mastodon-like posts, but it's still suffers from wonky early adopter stuff. I still rather like Mbin's interface more than Lemmy's defaults, though Lemmy's support for third party front ends is very cool. Whichever way you go, I'm happy that Mbin and Lemmy have access to all the same content. Mbin could grow more if some of a magazine's custom CSS could federate to other instances, or if it supported bots like Lemmy.
Oh dang, I'm gonna have to look into PieFed, though. That looks good! I'd like to see how my community looks, but I think a registered piefed.social user has to do this community lookup for federation to begin.

Man, I turned a ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ into a 3/6 but nobody's going to see it because I played the puzzle 2 hours before midnight in my local time. Oh well.

Sometimes artists on Instagram and Tumblr don't give their artwork titles, but they write a block of text instead. Normally, I represent the titles as faithfully as possible in English, but I edited this one down. I hope that's OK. Please don't curse me; I like witches!
And now for something completely different! Hi all this is Kenzo, trying my hand at illustration, purely for fun. My daughter absolutely loves witches so this is a mum and daughter witch gathering clouds in bags. I’m thinking they sell cloud candy at fairs. She liked it! by lovelifedrawing: Instagram #levitation

Today's Floating Is Fun's 3rd anniversary, and it's recap time! The first year was on Reddit and the second year post was delayed by our migration to the Fediverse, but we're celebrating on time this time.
After a year of independence from /u/spez, we've grown into one of the strongest communities on Fedia! With this post, we have 653 threads, the most of all Fedia communities, though the even more buoyant @[email protected] will overtake us within the next few months. We have 547 subscribers and I am thankful for each and every one of you. Some new posters are leaving their marks, and I no longer have to carry all the posting by myself. I can now slow down on my posts so I can maintain higher quality and participate better with other Fediverse communities. Maybe I'll finally polish our janky experimental RSS.
Here are your top ten posts between August 14, 2023 and August 3, 2024:
This past year, witches and magic users made the biggest impact. You know there's a whole community for @[email protected], right? Number one went to Kiki, celebrating her movie's 35th anniversary this week, in a crossover with Nausicaä, which had its 40th anniversary back in March. I didn't post nearly enough real-life examples of floating because they're harder to source correctly, but I'll try harder next year. No one posted any original content between last year's recap post and this post, but hopefully this will change.
I appreciate all the support we've received on the Fediverse. Let's make it the best place to post stuff we like! Spread the Fediverse love.
Until next year, don't let gravity keep you down!
