Hi, I’m also Terencio on mastodon.social and Sergio on lemmy.world.
Milking and threshing sound way more fun than yet another Zoom meeting.
Whenever I think I can’t stand yet another video meeting, I think back on the (very brief) time I spent working on a farm. It was fun for a day or two, but after like 5 days I was ready to do whatever it took to get away from there. I got respect for farm workers, it isn’t easy!

A day that will live in infamy! But in a good way. A day that will live in famy!
some “unofficial” replacements
!streetart@lemm.ee… see !grasweeti@slrpnk.net, a lot of the same material (and is more active).
!TwoGoobers@lemm.ee … see !relationshipmemes@lemmyis.fun, a lot of overlap
!webcomics@lemm.ee … see !webtoons@ani.social for a partial replacement

Regarding !martialartsmovies@lemm.ee, @klu9@piefed.social has created !action_movies@piefed.social to replace it and more.
Mr. Daydream!!! Little Miss Trouble and Mr Impossible were cool too but shoulda had better stories.
Oh there are plenty of specious rationalizations. “If I didn’t do it, someone else would” is a common one. “I just give the customers what they want” is another. “The tech has good uses, too” is one of the trickiest. “It’s the only thing I’m good at” is the saddest. If you ever find yourself saying one of these things, take a long hard look at yourself. I don’t know anything about the guy so dunno which one he uses.
Their linux should still be there, right? They just need to fix their bootloader. (and wipe Windows.) Right?
When I looked through the list of lemm.ee communities I was subbed to, my first thought was: omg I hope JohnnyEnzyme takes this ok…
Oh wow sounds cool… well you know about !dadforaminute@lemmy.world … !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world and !rant@lemmy.sdf.org and even !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world sometimes turn into that, tho it’s not the main purpose of those comms…
You mean like positive, uplifting posts only? If that’s what you mean, take a look at:
The May sumo tournament in Japan ended Saturday, and I was posting daily links to videos on !sumo@lemmy.world. According to trendingcommunities,
It was a pretty good experience, it gave me a reason to watch the highlight videos without feeling like I was alone in the world doing so – even tho there wasn’t much discussion, there’d be a handful of upvotes for each post showing there were at least some readers/viewers.
Last March I tried posting multiple links to youtube videos, one post per link. This got a bit confusing bc some of the videos were posted after a delay. So this tournament I just made one post like “videos for day 12 of the tournament” and put all the relevant links there, updating when the delayed ones came out. That worked a lot better. First, I was making “image” posts instead of “video” posts so I didn’t have to worry about whether the thumbnail would be automatically generated, what it would be, whether it would propagate, etc. it did mean I had to find a good image from the highlights, but that was OK I liked watching the highlight videos as described above. Second, it gave me a “template” to make posts from (I just took the previous day’s text and modified it) which was good bc I was usually doing it first thing in the morning and still kinda dazed.
Anyway, next sumo tournament’s in 2 months, and I hope I’m able to post about it again!
Aw, she was fake? I feel… something a lot like loss.
Good for him, but this is pretty much an Orphan-Crushing Machine moment.
Here’s a great example of how a regularly-occurring post can help grow a community. On !vampires@lemmy.zip @Zagorath@aussie.zone is posting the novel Dracula “as it happens” on a calendar. It’s an epistolary novel, so they’ve posted the chapters for May 3, 4, and 5 so far and will post the remaining chapters over the next couple months as that day occurs. (The first 2 chapters are pretty short so you can catch up easily if you want to read along!)
I guess to revive a community:
I wouldn’t stress about it. Communities don’t have to be active all the time. When I remember the Dunder Mifflin (fandom for tv show The Office) sub back on r$ddit, it was always active, but it was the same limited number of arguments and jokes and catch-phrases over and over. It was kinda amusing, but also kinda braindead. Why not just wait until there’s a new tour or album or other news?
I had a similar experience with !sumo@lemmy.world. The Japanese tournaments only happen every 2 months, so it’s dormant now… instead of trying to “force” discussion, I’m just waiting for a couple more weeks where it’ll be back to daily posting for the 15-day tournament. If I came across some awesome news or media I might post it but otherwise I’m not going to stress it.
At the illocutionary speech act level, that was an acceptable response. It’s kind of like when you say “what’s up?” and your interlocutor says “hey there!” The question has not been answered, but it’s still collaborative because the point of the exchange was not really an inquiry, it was a greeting.
