I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there’s a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I’ve blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy’s, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country’s Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

    Hiphopheads community hosted on my home instance, and I had no idea it even existed. . Lemmy is never living down the poor community discoverability allegations.

    Kudos on trying to keep the TS community alive here. I don’t really follow her outside of whatever hits the radio/wider pop culture news, but I remember when I moved to Lemmy your community would hit my front page and I was insanely jealous of everyone kee-keeing together in the comments. Maybe you’re right and I should start shitposting about my hobbies on Lemmy, but dang it’s hard going from a consumer to an active poster in any social media lol.

      It really is, but I’ve found that a surprisingly large amount of people like what I like. I also mod !satisfactory@lemmy.world and honestly when I post there it’s mostly just screenshots. People then ask questions and it’s a good time, if news drops or a video drops I’ll just paste a link in there, something to get the discussion going. There’s also some other great members who do similar. That’s really all it takes to get a small community off the ground

            I saw you commented several times on this thread, so just want to take the time here and thank you for all that you do to promote Lemmy communities and fedi in general, Blaze! You’re one of the people who’s efforts is what keeps me using Lemmy as my primary form of online engagement.
