Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I knooooo, Singapore content (gasp), but this is such an interesting post, esp to those literate in written Chinese https://social.coop/@konrad/110670337211553442. About different way Singapore is spelled in hanzi over the years
Ohhh...
They mentioned 星加坡 and 新加坡.
In Cantonese, 星加坡 sounds more natural because it's sing ka po. 新加坡 sounds like sun ka po.
In mandarin 新加坡 is probably a little easier to roll off in mandarin because it's sin jia po, while 星加坡 is sing jia po.
So the name used probably depends on the dialect that the text was intended to be verbalised in.
Note, my spelling is to help illustrate the sounds to a someone who does't know how to vocalise chinese words. If you already know romanised chinese (pinyin) then all the above you can figure out on your own anyway.
Also Malaysia’s biggest newspaper by circulation is literally 星洲日報， “Singapore daily” haha

Urgh, sleepy ( _ _)zzZ
@[email protected] did you manager to get the Eras tickets? I was SOOOOO close but i think the cat6 ones were all gone by the time my number was up
That sucks :((( my friend heard they’re opening in batches tho, so maybe there’s still hope?
I don’t know if I got, it has been “payment processing” since 12.40pm. And it says payment method credit card but I used a debit card. Idk if I selected wrongly T.T
Money gone from my available balance but can still see it in available balance. Nobody else got in so we all just praying super hard now.
Omg there are additional seats just opened up. Now up to cat 9 seats. These are side view, but not all of them are bad.
fingers crossed i can get access codes. Still not yet sold out.
Fingers crossed for you too! Sending good vibes
Thanks "Sibling". Are you a bro or sis?
Everyone’s a bro on the internet hahaha. But actually I’m a sis ;)
Ah ok, I'm a real bro
Noob question about creating a new post in this community- I tried yesterday and today, got nothing but the endless whirring green circle for all 3 times attempts.
- What I did was:
- Click on "Create a Post" button in the side bar.
- Left "URL" field blank cos I only wanted to do a text post.
- Filled in the "Title" field
- Typed the test of the post in the "Body" field.
- Make sure Café is selected in the "Community" field
- Left "NSFW" unchecked
- Selected "English" for language.
- Clicked "Create"
No progress. Is something wrong? @[email protected] @[email protected]

It seems that this site couldn't gather enough steam to ditch /r/malaysia.
r/Malaysia wasn’t built in two weeks either. Give it time.
Don't tell them r/my only gained traction in 2018 and really experienced a growth spurt due to Covid-19 and the lockdown.
Also, add more content, do more comments. Don't be lazy lurking dorks like Twitterjaya complaining about Mastodon. 😌
What do you mean I have to contribute to content and comments? You're supposed to serve ME!
For now, I view this as a gathering place for people to blow water/ talk cock/ shoot the breeze. It doesn't have enough participants (yet) that someone can just lie back and watch the endless scroll of comments and links.
If I'm in a small picnic and I don't say a word to anyone, I'm not making the picnic any more sociable.
If you're at a buzzing student party then maybe you can get by just watching the show, listening to other people chatter etc. But not here. Here not enough crowd for that.
Blow water and talk cock is an acquired taste, but i share the same enthusiasm. r/malaysia has become more and more left. I haven't open the Reddit app for a week now, I hope the shift will sticks. I am still exploring the Fediverse and the interconnects of difference instances.
I'll just say, water haven't even start heating up yet. If you wanna see some steam you gotta build the fire.
Indeed. Btw, how did you get that admin flaire, was it a flair or something else in lemmy context ?
how do you hint to a potential romantic interest that he’s making cringe comments/unfunny remarks without making him feel upset/insecure about it?
I would just be honest but gently about it. See how he reacts. If he gets defensive, find a new person.
Not sure about others butas long as its not offensive, i'd let it slide. Everyone have a cringe moment that only they themswlves will remember the rest of their life, but not other people.
