This is the best thing I've seen all month.

If I understand correctly, the opinion explicitly focuses on Indian tribes as nations -- i.e. legal entities -- not races.

Glyph exchange? in c/nomanssky@lemmy.world
[–] Bricriu@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So as much as I love the NMSGlyphExchange sub format, and want to get it recreated here, don't sleep on https://nmsce.com/ for your ship-searching needs!

What's everyone been reading recently? in c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml

Nope, it was really just the language and writing style. Actual plot was OK.

I got through the first book in Three Body, but while I liked some of the philosophical and crazy-tech explorations, I really struggled with the writing/translation style. It was so stilted and awkward to read that it put me off trying to read the following volumes.

TIL how to fetch communities from other instances so that I can subscribe from my own instance. in c/todayilearned@lemmy.ml
[–] Bricriu@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

I ran into this same frustrating problem. The whole "fetches in the background after you search" thing makes sense in a very "you are technically correct" kind of way, but it would be a much better user experience to just have a spinner and wait for the community/post to be fetched, rather than gaslight users.

Why can't I find federated communities on lemmy.one? (lemmy.one)

One of the things that has been frustrating me most deeply when trying to move to Lemmy, especially as the exodus from Reddit really picks up steam, is finding new communities as they set up shop. Most of them appear to be landing on lemmy.ml, which has adopted more of an open-door policy for community creation. That's fine, I'm not asking lemmy.one to necessarily do the same. I picked this instance to take some pressure off the really big ones.

But the process is maddening.

  • I search for (e.g.) the string "no man" in my lemmy.one Communities page under "All". No results.
  • Someone mentions a cross-federation search at lemme.de. Why isn't this everywhere?
  • I search there for "no man" and two communities pop, one at lemme.ml and one at lemmy.world. There are no subscribe links.
  • The lemmy.ml one looks popular, so I copy the full URL and put it in my lemmy.one search. No results, and no "no results" message.
  • OK, so I visit https://lemmy.ml/c/nomanssky directly and click "Sidebar". Nothing happens. There appears to be a Javascript error preventing anything from working (including the hamburger menu). Is this because I'm a lemmy.one user?
  • Start from lemmy.ml, and search their Communities for "no man", find the community, click through, click Sidebar. I get a magic string, [!nomanssky@lemmy.ml](/c/nomanssky@lemmy.ml).
  • Back on lemmy.one, search for [!nomanssky@lemmy.ml](/c/nomanssky@lemmy.ml). NO RESULTS.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! What is going on here?? Is lemmy.one blocking these instances? Can't be, I see lemmy.ml stuff all over. Starting to wonder if I just made the wrong choice and should go join the cool kids on a "big" instance.

Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Bricriu@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None of the No Man's Sky subs have shown indications of moving, which bums me out. I'd much rather get my glyphs, neat screenshots, and wild speculation from a forum rather than Discord.

What is your favourite Lemmy community, which is not on lemmy.ml? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Bricriu@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The search didn't work for me, coming from lemmy.one. Didn't even show a "no results" message. Copypastaing the whole URL worked, but that is a deeply wonky interface :(

Thank you though! Subscribed.

How do I subscribe to that sopuli one, since it doesn't show up in my local search results?

Per Steam: 1138 hours in New World, which is surprising only because I thought No Man's Sky was going to crush it. Apparently not! Only 784 hours there, but since I've returned to it as my game of choice lately, there's room to grow.

[edit] oh man, I forgot Pokémon Go. I can't figure out how to get hours on there but probably a bunch.
