I think any and all subreddits should go this way.

Reddit is only popular because of the users. We create the content. Yes, a lot of posts on the website are external links but all discussions are generated and concluded by us, the users.

Shutting subs down for 1-2 days and going back to normal is not going to have much of an impact. It's akin to a server blip. If subs shut down indefinitely then reddit has a real problem. 'Normal' users will start to take notice, whereas they currently might not be paying much attention. These subs should go the other route. Shut down and promote alternatives (such as lemmy!) to divert traffic away from reddit.

Pigboy Spez talked about not being profitable. No shit, you dick. This is how you become even less profitable, by pissing off the entire user base.

We're going to be profitable by completely decimating our product.

No, wait. That doesn't seem like the right thing to do!

Makes sense considering how bloody expensive they are in a time of economic shittery.

I’d love to upgrade, but when I think about it logically there’s absolutely no point. My rig works fine for what I play right now, and the value just isn’t there in a new GPU for me.

I've just recently passed my driving test and bought a car, so plenty of little trips around the Peak District & Yorkshire Dales I think this summer! Might try and venture up to the Lakes too.

Having a car feels so strange, considering I'm a little late to driving - so much freedom!

I'm a hand luggage only kinda guy. Easy on, easy off, no faff with the conveyor at the end.

I'm a pretty good flyer anyway, so I just make sure I'm wearing something comfy, my AirPods are charged and I've got something I want to listen to on my phone. Depending on the length of your flight, I think it's always worth having a bottle of water to bring on from the airport, or buying one on board. It can get dry in the sky!

I have debated buying an iPad recently, not for flying/travel but just general usage - however, I think an iPad would be a great addition on a longer flight. Pop a movie on!

Agree! I don't know how people do tea in this weather, and I love tea.

Smashing back the bottles of water like no tomorrow.

I'm already happy with what I've seen

FABLE, STAR WARS OUTLAWS, AVOWED??? All look great so far.

I hate when that happens.

I think so. Not sure if it's official - as in, done by the mods - but there seems to be a few people over there already! CasualUK over on reddit was my favourite sub, and https://lemmy.world/c/ukcasual seems to be the place to be now on Lemmy.

You've explained it in a much better way than I understood it!

I've ended up with an account on two instances as it seemed one might've been blocking other instances. Being on one of the bigger ones seems like the way to go in terms of interaction and compatibility then.

I agree, it's a super interesting way of working and honestly, I think I like it. It's like someone has given me niche forums and put them all in one place with a single way of interacting!

Thanks for having me, lemmy.world!

These instances feel quite cosy. Homely, even. I think they're called instances? I don't know. Anyway, I'm here.

If anyone has any super-noob friendly tips for being a good Lemmy citizen then I'm all ears - I'm an iPhone user so any app recommendations would be greatly appreciated too!

Hard to watch that without tears in your eyes.

What an absolute legend.

I woke up to a load of noise downstairs, went to investigate assuming it was my cat… who I couldn’t see. No problem, I thought.

Stood in the kitchen making a cuppa and I hear a very sorry meow, so obviously assumed my poor boy was hurt!

No. Completely wrong. Some random cat is sat on the windowsill in my living room. Dead lovely little thing that enjoyed a bit of fuss before I let it back out into the world!

I've been on and off playing Mario Odyssey for a while now. I think I'm going to give that a bit more attention this weekend!

Good. I think this is a dangerous time, though.

I can see him & other tearaway Tories setting up an even worse party and trying to bring over there diehards. Him and his cronies have tasted blood (read: stealing from and fucking the public) and in my opinion, that isn't something they are going to want to give up completely.

General election can't come soon enough.

Thanks for setting this up! Can't beat a bit of football chat and with it being silly season, I'm sure there's plenty to be had!

It's a little confusing and new to me with it being this way, but super interesting!

I think a lot of people (me included) have a bit of tunnel vision and end up in the 'Local' column on the instance homepage.

Do all instances see all comments from all other instances, too? Are there things that instance owners need to set up to get this to work? Here's hoping we get some thriving lemmy communities! :)

Really cool to see the way Apple are doing VR/AR but I don't think it's for me. I've never tried VR, and I don't think 3.5k is where I'll start!

Excited to see the reviews that come out from my favourite YouTubers, though.

I think it looks really good.

I'll be watching it once it's out and I'm sure I'll enjoy it, as I have with every other bit of Star Wars media they've released.

I'm not sure I'm a true self-hoster as I only host a Plex server, but happy to be here reading about the cool stuff other people do!
