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.

Only just caved into my boycott of Reddit today to see if r/malaysia migrated. Really happy to see that we have!

I think will be a while lah before we get more traction here, but one less comment we make on Reddit, is one less piece of content they get.

I think it's fine if we don't get back to what we have like in r/malaysia, my experience from there is we can only see like a hundred of user commenting and then the 290k user is all lurker and never interact. Our highest post upvote is only around 4500, so around 98.5% of them couldn't even bother to upvote a post, let alone comment or make an og post. The sub might be big but if you post/comment a lot or interact in the daily thread, the sub is actually pretty small and rather tight-knitted

Yeah, I understand that. Though I think the value of spaces like this is also to curate quality news and resources, which is what I used Reddit for a lot.

I think there's a lot of good for having a space where people are sharing relevant and interesting news. Even if they're lurkers, it doesn't mean they're not part of the community I guess?

I dunno where I'm leading this point lol. Just that I think everyone, even lurkers have a place as part of the community. Not everyone is social, but I think r/Malaysia & r/Malaysians made it feel like everyone is welcome regardless, and I'd like that feeling to carry on wherever the community goes.

I hope this place will grow to become the next r/malaysia. F Spez and his antics.

I'm still a bit confused by federating across platforms although I've been on Mastodon since last year and generally know how it works.

Anyway, hi. Glad that the nyets have migrated off that other place!

I just saw @test@[email protected] with a cool username, and like hell, this is a blue ocean for stupid usernames but i went and used my boring username.

You can grab the only one of common names like James or Ali or Chan or Muthu. Or silly ones like AutoAdmin. Or really difficult ones like _underscore_

go wild!

NGL the thread structure is a bit hard to follow here with how close the lines going down are. Maybe it'll get easier over time.

I commented on the post in Reddit but I'll comment here as well. Is there any way I can help with running the Lemmy instance? I am not an experienced dev yet(I suck at ops and support) but I would love to contribute in any way I can :)

Oh this is cool, this formatting can do superscripts and subscripts.

Behold:

2H~2~ + O~2~ → 2H~2~O

f(x~i+1~)=f(x~i~) + df/dx (x~i~) x (x~i+1~-x~i~) + 1/2 d^2^f/dx^2^ (x~i~) x (x~i+1~-x~i~)^2^ + ... = Σ[d^n^f/dx^n^ (x~i~) x (x~i+1~-x~i~)^n^/n!]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Right? Reddit have to do a lot to imitate a fraction of a good dev's power.

one good thing about this so far is that new comments are highlighted. thats good for me to know what has been newly commented.
