https://fanaticus.social is a whole sports instance, and the instance as a whole definitely passes the "at least a post per week" requirement

!knitting@lemmy.world

Yep, definitely not new, but in the past I have seen people promote not-new communities that nonetheless are tiny and have not been posted here before so I figured it was okay. If you're concerned this sub is losing its purpose you might want to message the mod about changing the rules or something. I do not mind seeing old communities here but my opinion is not the only one that matters, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca does exist even if it gets far less traffic.

Solved! Thank you so much!

From the Obsidian Discord:

PSA: Our main server was taken down by a forced reboot at 2024-08-24 3AM EST / 12AM PST. When the account server was down, our services like Sync, Publish, and account functions like login or sign up were disrupted.

Normally our services would have immediately auto-restarted, however we made a mistake in the auto-restart configuration, which meant that it did not automatically restart. I was able to start it up again manually at 8AM EST. Everything is back to normal now.

I have since located the configuration issue and fixed it so if this happens again it would be down for at most a few seconds. Apologies for the inconvenience!

On one hand I get your point, but on another if you spend most of your time learning (but through other formats than books: through quality online articles or videos, and not eBooks) then it does not seem so bad to me.

I am reading nearly 24/7 but I complete a full actual book maybe once a year. Might be bigger if you count the books that have also (legally) been wholly posted online, but I often forget them because I read them just like an extra-long article: on my phone. I read peoples' original fiction that they post online so I'm not sure whether to count it or not.

I like longer articles but I do admit that I consume so much less long-form content than I did as a child. At least I avoid TikTok and Reels and the like? (Not to be elitist, but because I know I specifically would get addicted and waste my life. Very bad for my particular ADHD brain.) Also something something possible link between lower attention spans and only consuming short-form content. So I get the general gist of your idea and agree even if I do not particularly agree with the emphasis on the medium of books.

Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that'll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! I have never heard of Tomboy so I went and looked it up and from the images I saw on Wikipedia it definitely looks "forever ago".

Wish Lemmy Scheduler worked with Mbin, because I found a lot of good posts for !digitalgarden@lemmy.world that would best be spaced out to avoid spamming and to keep the community active for a decent period of time.

I have a feeling Nemesis is intended to be a retry at any of the other 51 weeks, but I cannot wait for stuff like people who could not beat a video game boss icing a cake with their image, or people who got sick cutting cookies in the shape of a virus.

EDIT: just realized I commented on this 7 months late. Oops.

Personal Knowledge Management and the like!

• !digitalgarden@lemmy.world (/c/digitalgarden@lemmy.world)

A decent explanation on what a digital garden is. Kind of at the intersection of PKMS and blogging. You can keep continually editing and it is not meant to be perfect, somewhat like an online journal you keep, something something learning in public.

That link punted me off my instance to sh.itjust.works, here's another one !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

also !knitting@lemmy.world

Curiosity made me check if !femalefashionadvice@lemmy.world existed and it does but it is not very active—I'd imagine any not-man looking for fashion communities on the Fediverse might not bite on male fashion advice lol. Now I am also wondering if just plain "fashion advice" exists, or anything for nonbinary people. Back when I was on Reddit I wasn't aware of such a subreddit, I was only aware of malefashionadvice and femalefashionadvice.

I'll be honest, I am not even qualified to advise on fashion. I am sure I am not colorblind but things like "oh, that color washes you out" or "that color flatters you" have never been something I am able to see. I feel I'm missing a lot of knowledge like this, but I get by because none of my clothes cause me trouble in daily life—no pain, unexpected restricted movement, or general discomfort; people compliment my outfits sometimes; and I'm happy with what I'm wearing.

Also, good luck with the community and I hope you find posters, as someone who is also one of the primary posters in some communities I'm in and hopes others would interact sometime.

I look for things to post on some of the communities I follow. Unfortunately I cannot commit to doing this regularly for all communities I follow.

Also, your icon need not be made by you, so even if your art skills are as mediocre as mine it is fine! Grab some Creative Commons thing, slap it on your community, and attribute it. That is what !newcommunities@lemmy.world did.

I do like fashion.

I always thought "streetwear" implied a certain kind of style that is not my cup of tea, and I am very uncomfortable posting a picture myself online, even if I censor my face out.

This is exactly why I chose Mbin: to help diversify Threadiverse software.

Title is ugly.

I figured "where you live" is basically the same thing as "home" unless you start getting into stuff like some adults living in hotels all the time because they are constantly on the move and rarely at their permanent address, or adults not considering their current residence their home because they know it's just a temporary place and they'll move soon or they do not like where they live and they don't feel welcome.

Data investigates nothing like that. Instead investigates adults specifically within 25–29 years old who live with their parents, which might be the same place as their childhood home.

Pretty image though.

I think I tried this out back in the day when searching for what I would use for PKMS! Don't remember why I didn't settle on it. I like FOSS stuff but the switching cost from Obsidian would be high—even if there was something to auto-move everything over I always like to manually move things so I can strike out unused things, improve existing notes, restructure my notes, etc. but maybe to support FOSS I should just find an auto-import if it exists and do it anyways.

Not sure if this would be considered off-topic for !obsidianmd@lemmy.world but you might want to crosspost there. I would welcome it. !FOSS@beehaw.org and !opensource@programming.dev would also like this.
