Honestly I’d be down for one of the debates to be replaced by a big wresting match. VP candidates can tag in. Everyone gets silly outfits. Their one liners all have to do with policy. It would probably get a much bigger turnout than traditional debates lmao

Edited to add: it would probably better reflect current american politics too. Two actors play fighting in a gimmicky show. Sadly tho this match would be able to effect your daily life

Awesome! Glad to hear your set up is scaling well to new uses 😀

Sounds like a really cool project, sadly i dont have much knowledge to contribute. Still, what kind of issues have you run into? Any specific errors or problems?

I think samsung is going with the year as the name now. They skipped to s20, but then have going with s21 s22 s23 etc.

I think people like watching things they can relate to / fantasize about doing.

So i would think old people would enjoy watching old people, at least some of the time. Kinda like 30 something moms who are really into dad bods. Or all the milf porn some middle aged dudes like.

Oooo That makes sense, thanks for explaining :) hopefully it gets patched soon, im sad i didnt get to see whats going on in Winnipeg lol

I think the link to communities needs to be !c/[email protected]

The way yours is written makes causes my app to search for a user instead of a community.

Edit: Nevermind, that format also didnt work, sorry :(

I think this is a really good long term strategy, and something that is already happening to some level.

Many instances are open about blocking others, and warn eachother of bad instances (like a instance full of spam bots or bigots). I could definetly see this evolving into an alliance type network like you described.

thanks for the heads up, ill change that

update: I tried removing them, but it made it so the links no longer worked for me, so I put them back

Hmmm I am more of a sci-fi person, but I’ve definitely still seen some threads talking about fantasy books. I’m guessing you’re already on the main book communities like [email protected] [email protected] ? They are pretty active and I do see discussion on threads talking about fantasy books. There is also the fantasy community [email protected] – which does admittedly have pretty low traffic (though, you could be the change you want to see…). I found one niche community that was very recently made [email protected]

I get how hard it can be to find active book reading communities & wish I had more suggestions in the fantasy realm. If you have a specific sub genre in mind, search for it or maybe even make a community for it. I was surprised to find a few different scifi sub genres already had active communities on lemmy & even recently made communities are growing fairly quickly with the new users.

Good luck finding your next page turner & lmk if you want sci-fi recs :)

Edit: to add and un-add exclamation points

What genres are you looking for? There are a couple good communities, but youre right, not nearly as big or as niche as most subreddits. Though ive found the reccomendations to be higher quality when i do see them.
