Thank you for the Kbin-functional link

Communities show up as @communityname@instance.com to me when I’m browsing—I am on Kbin. It would be really nice if the two could just agree on this or make the links work with each other, because I know when I view them on a Lemmy website they say !communityname@instance.com.

@musicals@kbin.social
@hobbydrama@lemmy.world

Sadly both are inactive. I just posted to @musicals@kbin.social though, and intend to post to @hobbydrama@lemmy.world… sometime.

@namethatsong@lemmy.wtf, for helping people find out what song they are thinking of, just like the subreddit of the same name.

It would be pretty hilarious if “Math” was one of the foreign languages you could learn with Duolingo

I was going to ask why an innocent-seeming community was restricted to 18+ and then I saw the description of the community explaining why, so props for anticipating questions.

Regardless of my own stance on these things, just happy that you intend to have the community talk about ways to change stuff. I’d browse different subreddits and found way more “X sucks, here is my emotional vent about it” than “X sucks, here are some steps I took to make it suck less or affect my life less, even if they were tiny steps to combat a massive complex problem”. Was particularly frustrating when I was searching for a solution for a problem that applied to me, even making a post about it, and I got a ton of “I have been there too, you are not alone” but no actual actionable advice. Solidarity and empathizing helps but sometimes you just want practical advice, and given just how many spaces will give you a place to vent, it would be nice to have a place free of it that sticks more to how to fix it.

I recognize the irony of me just blathering about my feelings here, talking about how you are doing the opposite of the thing that sometimes upsets me.

For some people, watching something they hate fail is pleasurable, even if they understand it’s not a person who will feel shamed by their eyes and instead a corporation that is much more likely than a human to benefit from the negative attention. Getting that schadenfreude rates a little higher for some individuals than what they perceive as contributing just a tiny little bit to it by giving it attention. And sometimes, negative attention isn’t always going to benefit a company.

I wasn’t aware of “beaver” as a sexual slang term until I watched a Lockpicking Lawyer video and now I’m certainly going to remember it thanks to this post having to specify that the beavers should be SFW.

I’ve personally never heard a rendition of Jingle Bells with a horse whinny and whip crack. Which one is this?

The way it worked on Reddit was that people would post a link to a small audio clip of them singing the song (usually on vocaroo.com) or playing what they remembered of it on an instrument. You could also talk about what happened in the music video, what kind of voices were singing, etc.

If I tell you I can’t remember the name of a tune commonly played at Christmas that has a couple recordings with singing and some just as an instrumental, and on the instrumental there’s a horse whinny and whip crack? You probably know I’m talking about Sleigh Ride.

Epic Games, prompted by a message from the creator of the dating sim Hatoful Boyfriend (in which all the dateable characters are birds), says that they are “looking into” why the creator has not received any royalties for the game in two years.

Headline is misleading because not all the dateable characters are pigeons.

all the news content posted by the mods will be entirely readable on Lemmy.

I don’t even like Forza but came here anyways to say props to you for that, seems like it’ll be a great community for Forza fans
