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 thought to myself "maybe once my reddit app dies I'll have a looksie at twitter for personalized news" and now twitter is throwing a hissy fit too

I have no idea where to go now, I'm still not sure how this site works

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Switching to "All" mode is not a bad reddit replacement imo!

On my feed literally right now: Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users? lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’d recommend using an app (I’m using wefwef), and adding the servers you want on here. I added lemmy.world, kbin.social and ofc monyet.cc.

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

think of it as it's own little reddit-like server. browse the communities (can toggle All or Local) and subscribe to anything interesting or newsy

can toggle All or Local oh shit now it's lookin more lively thanks for the tip, I'll explore around a bit more

Hey guys, I just made an account here after hearing that making an account on the lemmy instance nearer your location would improve loading times. It is true loading speeds are great but I am seeing only few of the communities from other instances. For example I can't find the [email protected] over here on monyet.cc Why is that so?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's available via this link.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The federation is quite wonky so you ought to try typing the whole url in the search bar, and try it a few times. First time i do this i tried searching for woodworking on lemmy world, have to try refreshing a few times before it connect.

Iirc someone mentioned that they have to copy the other instance into this server so you could visit it, maybe that's the reason it couldn't connect because it hasn't done copying yet. But once you done so, other people will have easier time visiting that community.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yep it takes some time to copy it over.

On IG Reel I saw excerpts of an interview with Taylor Swift where she was talking about her songwriting career.

  • She started songwriting at age 12 (she was just learning to play the guitar and her guitar teacher got her into songwriting too)

  • She was the youngest artist ever signed by Sony Music, at age 14.

One more day to the UOB Presale for Singapore Eras concert; 3 more days to general sale and Speak Now (Taylor's Version) release.

It's good that she's so talented but truly her rezeki is because her parents can kaw2 support her sampai pindah to be nearer to Nashville

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

Ya i've thought about success in this kind of context too. Michael Schumacher is/was also similar.

Raw talent, was in the right place to develop that talent at the right age (nashville and europe), physical attributes (she's cute as a button. and he's light and fit enough to be competitive in carts), parents' support (and often, their wealth), mental fitness etc.

When someone has all these attributes it's stacking multiple compounding boosts and they become absurdly successful.

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

Textbook case of privilege - good fortune is not a bad thing, but it truly can give that extra boost. Unless you're super talented, and super hardworking and fits the job you want e.g. Oprah. Or else can cincai do stuff and still be successful... Like uh... 🦆 scarves hahahaha

Must be owing someone money 😬

Is it just me or that the quality of comments on r/Malaysia are getting worst? Actually reddit as a whole is getting shittier by day for me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is why we take refuge here 🙏

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

For sure, the quality seems to have gone down over the blackout. Noticed quite a few regulars stopped commenting too and many new accounts filling the space ig?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems like a lot of the ppl still active now are the “we don’t need Nazi mods” types haha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

"you can't stop us from posting content we stolen from facebook and twitter and tiktok!!!"

Q to the techies: would link clickthroughs from instances and just fedi in general be recognizable to the web admin of the news sites (for example)? Just thinking how soon before news and public sites notice (esp with twt being on fire, reddit being on its way too, and fb/ig being unnavigable) fedi visits and actually start reorienting themselves.

(It's so embarassing - I can find Indonesian media, Singaporean media and journalists, Filipino tak payah cakaplah - even their institutions and unis are coming onboard, even Thai news and public sector content in English! But Malaysia........ KWSP or khazanah got stock in twitter or what?)

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

Been using wefwef, it’s pretty slick. Very similar to Apollo. Just that lemmy.world, kbin.social and monyet.cc are still quite slow and underpopulated right now so not a lot of content.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Aiya, still quite early mah. Reddit didn't took off until years later. At the mean time why not post some meme or food or cat pic 👀
