The Artemis app will be out soon, it looks pretty great already if you ask me

coffee for sure

okay but why in the world would he rename it, what could he possibly gain from doing it? Twitter was going to die either ways but it seems Elon is getting impatient and wants to see it dead sooner

what a fucking dumbass... I'm not sure if I'll ever manage to completely stop searching things up on Reddit since it has an enormous amount of helpful info/posts, but seriously this dude is trying soo hard to make me stay 100% away from it

I wouldn't call it a mass exodus, it's more like a slow and gradual exodus that has started and will keep on happening as Reddit will continue to burn itself down

there was this hotel we always used to go to with my family during vacation, nothing exceptional but it was pretty cool. Then one year, for whatever reason, our two rooms were full of worms, on the floor, walls, curtains..they were everywhere. I don't think we've ever went back after that year

Turns out many middle eastern toilets can’t handle toilet paper.

scratch Reddit. TIL that this is not a European thing but rather an exception for some countries only. We're not supposed to throw toilet paper in the toilet in Greece either, oh well

there are a handful of communities related to Reddit (which is fine imo), so I really don't get why some people post Reddit related posts in random/unrelated communities (like this one) and bother people who don't want to hear anything about it

I personally think people "should" use the downvote feature on comments that are objectively false, are unrelated to the topic of discussion or on troll/harmful comments

welcome! In case the fediverse seems confusing/weird to you now, I'm sure you'll get used to it pretty quickly, you'll figure out it doesn't differ from Reddit all that much :')

I like putting vaseline on my lips overnight (it's best to apply it on damp lips)

right?! To be honest I was almost certain it would bore me pretty fast, but I was pleasantly surprised and found myself intrigued from start to finish. Everything about it is great!

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds

I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point

ya think? :ρ

I use Kbin less, possibly due to a lower amount of content, but I surely use it way more deliberately

right, Opera GX is the one Im using, maybe I should have mentioned it. After reading all the comments I decided to check Firefox and Vivaldi out

Thoraya's yt channel has been one of my faves for years now. She basically asks questions and such to stranger on the streets, I love hearing about peoples' experiences, thoughts, life stories etc

I also enjoy EXPLORE WITH US' content, it's a yt channel focused on true crime, unsolved cases etc. The majority of their videos include clips in the interrogation room that are being analysed, it's super interesting

that's the corniest thing ever omg..

This was discussed a while ago; here's what Ernest said about it:

With additional tools for moderators, a system for taking over abandoned magazines will be created. I want to automate this, but it will take some time. I am in the process of finalizing the last formalities. I will soon post a status update.

hottest was 47°C and coldest around -10°C (which felt too cold for me haha, it's crazy to me that people can survive with temps like -20°C and lower :ρ)

yup, I also find myself lurking here a lot too. When I was on Reddit, I'd usually comment on a bunch of niche subreddits and avoid commenting on subs similar to the communities that are currently growing here on the fediverse haha. I'm trying to change that tho, I'd like to contribute as much as I can so this place can keep growing bigger

Apart from the fact we shouldn't bring them any traction, I'm not sure if that's the best way to advertise Lemmy. I mean, I think a big percentage of redditors have already heard of the threadiverse and they still choose to stay on Reddit for whatever reason. So a plain "join Lemmy" sign would probably seem like another annoying ad to them.

I think the best way to advertise the threadiverse is by sharing the content that's being created here and actually explaining/showing why it's a great platform to use. The more we do that and the more Reddit keeps pissing people off with their dumb updates and everything, the more people will end up checking the threadiverse out and hopefully joining it.
