Someone had to be first to break the silence so why not with this? Nothing better than a guitar with a story, and few things more beautiful than a Jazzmaster full stop. Picture taken from a story here.

FWIW, this community is getting about 2-3 posts from alien.top, but some instances blocked it. People were complaining about the deluge of Reddit mirrored posts from it, but most didn't seem to mind mirrored content that was not based around discussion, so I kept those.

Are you doing it to seed the community or will it be a regular thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To seed it primarily. A secondary goal of alien.top is to test functionality from Fediverser. Just a small number of communities are still mirroring the posts, but as soon as they started seeing regular organic content, I can disable it.

Okay, I guess that sounds fine. I'm not a huge fan of knowing posts are made by people who won't see my replies, but I also understand the need to seed a community (most users are afraid/discouraged to submit posts into completely empty communities).

I hope you're doing well with the project, it's a very interesting one!

One of my goals is actually to build a two-way mirror, so that comments made here send a DM to the redditor. :)

I think we've talked about it before, yeah. Very interesting project, I hope all is going well for you!

It's all good, thank you!

Frankly, I just wish more Lemmy admins were willing to run the software, and more people to become Community Ambassadors. I feel like we need to start extending the long tail of interests to crack the chicken-and-egg issue that still makes so many people "caged" on Reddit.

What? I've never seen a whammy bar go between the strings before..

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Subscribed.

Standard on Jazzmasters and Jaguars. The button is a slider that locks the floating bridge in place in case you break strings, that way you can go back in tune. They're excellent trems.
