Is anyone here at all? A little sad since I want to move over to Lemmy/Fediverse but there's no one here. :(

Hello! Same! I messaged the r/kdrama mods to ask why they made a decision to not join in the blackout (I was surprised they didn't even put it to a vote to their community) and I think they reported me for harassment 🙄

The only subreddits I'm missing are kdrama and koreanvariety but even if I go back to Reddit just for those two subreddits I'll have a strong distaste for the mods of r/kdrama (not just because of this but the way they conduct themselves gives off holier than thou/condescending vibes to me)

What kdramas are you currently watching? I've just started Lies Hidden in My Garden and Delightfully Deceitful (kinda losing interest), and King the Land. Seems like quite a few now that I've written them all down but this is the first time in quite a few months I've watched some kdramas. The past few dramas airing post-The Glory didn't catch my eye.

Thinking about giving See You in My 19th Life a go because I read the webtoon but we'll see.

Finally, another user! So happy there are 2 of us now lol!

For some reason, the imgur link wouldn't load on my phone's browser. But not surprised with your impression of them. In my experience, they always seem to be more of a rule follower, and a very rigid one at that. Not sure if it's because the top mod works with law enforcement, though not as a law enforcement officer themself.

I still use Reddit on my third party app. If none of the third party apps work after this month, I'll probably go on Reddit much less. Lemmy has been great, but none of the communities I care the most are here. This community being one of them.

I need to check out Lies Hidden in My Garden, it's been mentioned often. Hopefully it's not of a makjang variety! Was Delightfully Deceitful boring? I feel that way towards King The Land, but still want to give it more chance. Loving See You in My 19th Life atm! I've seen people who've read the webtoon commenting that the drama stays true to the source so far and they like it too. Although apparently some things are not explained that well in the drama yet? But, it's early days and it's definitely the better drama out of the two I watch atm (King The Land being the other one).

Wow I didn't know the top mod was in the law enforcement field, but makes sense why things feel so rigid/military like..

I agree, the subs I interacted with the most were the Korean ones, the more 'laypeople' ones that are much less likely to care about the blackout/API fiasco so I'm losing those communities. I haven't yet used any mobile apps for Reddit since the blackout (previously used infinity) but yeah once the third parties stop working 😭

I'm really liking Lies Hidden in My Garden! Don't think I used my phone once during the first two eps. Hmm Delightfully Deceitful is ok, I think I just went on my phone while it was on and the plot went on without me so I'm just not that invested in it anymore. Will probably still watch though.

King the Land, I've kinda already forgotten since watching 😅 so not that much of a stand out. 19th Life is good, it is staying quite true to the webtoon, I'm loving how they kept Ju Won's very very blunt 'romantic' approach to Seo Ha. (Although I feel like I maybe did not notice how kinda stalker-y she was being in the webtoon and it was clearer when they actually show scenes of her following him around as a kid 😂)

Fellow Infinity user! I was using Slide for a long time until it stopped updating and switched to Infinity. Better improvement in the UI, but still miss the way Slide handled links and gestures. I saw that Slide creator is working on a Lemmy app now. Hopefully that turns out well!

Ha, you're right, she was rather stalker-ish in the drama! Some of the comments on MDL also made me wonder why she was so obsessed with a boy, when she had previously gotten married and had children in her past lives. Did the webtoon ever explain that? I don't remember if she ever mentioned her reasons in the drama, or if it will be shown later.

Edit: Oh and I was finally able to see your imgur link! It's really weird they reported you for harassment when you only asked a question that they chose to ignore.

Yeah I saw a post where all the apps that are under development were listed and wow it's a lot of them! Exciting to see what'll happen and to try all these apps out.

I think it's mainly what she said in the first/second ep. Something like 'hes the first one who actually made me feel like a kid when I'm a kid in 19 lives'.

Yeah... They're just not great 😬
