disappointing those who desire interaction with Threads

Maybe those rare few (deranged) people should just go create a Threads account? This is a very unconvincing attempt at appearing "objective".

I empathise with your search for a better Goodreads. I used to be a "librarian" there, and the thought that I wasted my time on improving an Amazon service by adding books to their database makes me feel embarrassed. Worst of all, they actively harmed the database by using retarded bots to import garbage data (including DVDs and similar nonsense). When they realised they had imported too much garbage, they made a bot to delete some of it - but it deleted several books that I had added as well, perfectly fine data gone without any notification. Along with the shoddy redesign and long-time neglect and removal of some secondary functions, I got utterly sick of the site.

Everyone on Lemmy should give a chance to Bookwyrm. It's based on similar principles as Lemmy, decentralised and open source, a part of the Fediverse. The database is taken from the Open Library (a part of the Archive.org project). I tried it out one or two years ago, so it was my first interaction with the Fediverse in general. Sadly the database does not meet my needs, since I read a lot of obscure stuff in a few different languages. I'd have to go correct or add the data on Open Library for like every other book I've read. Way too much work, though it would be beneficial for other people too...

There are also Storygraph and LibraryThing. The latter seems closer to my tastes and needs, very old-school. But I never signed up, because I thought it's a paid service - indeed it used to be up until a few years ago, and now it's free.

So anyway I just switched to entering all the data in a LibreOffice spreadsheet (equivalent to MS Excel). One column for the title, one for the author name, etc. I'm apparently a picky reader/user, so it's probably the best solution.

context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnacon

The first known description of the bonnacon comes from Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia:

There are reports of a wild animal in Paeonia called the bonasus, which has the mane of a horse, but in all other respects resembles a bull; its horns are curved back in such a manner as to be of no use for fighting, and it is said that because of this it saves itself by running away, meanwhile emitting a trail of dung that sometimes covers a distance of as much as three furlongs (604 meters or 1,980 feet), contact with which scorches pursuers like a sort of fire."

Ajme legendo, i ti si pobjegao!

Priznat ću da još uvijek aktivno komentiram na par manjih subova. Nažalost, to su odlični communityi koje će biti teško rekreirati na Lemmyju u dogledno vrijeme. Koliko vidim trenutno ovdje dominiraju tech communityi i imitacije klasičnih reddit mjesta (shower thoughts i sl.), dok je dosta toga što mene osobno zanima još uvijek neaktivno ili uopće nema zasebni community.

Treba skupit vulo za hosting i dignit rvacku instancu lemmyja da šitpostamo svoji na svome.

Hrvatski shitpost na hrvatskom serveru, jel? :D

I never got anything for all that sweet karma

Oh, but you could.

fck you descriptivist

You mean prescriptivist? 😅

(beep boom I'm a human)

Yes, that sounds very much like the other descriptions of the issue that I've come across.

morati ce skalirati backend da podnese vise korisnika

Koliko sam shvatio, to ovisi o samom instanceu na kojem si se registrirao. Kažu da su manji instanceovi brži, a svi su navalili na lemmy.world (uključujući i mene, pa sam se jedva uspio registrirati nakon više pokušaja...).

Seconding SPD. Of all Android games, I think I've wasted the biggest part of my life on that one. An extremely well balanced and fair roguelike, even if that sounds contradictory.

while artists get very little payout from it

This! I've seen people claim they like Spotify because it's legal and you support the artist that way, but the actual money they get from each song-listening is comically miniscule compared to the profit from the traditional mediums (vinyl/CD).

Some stuff is too obscure to be on Youtube, and IIRC the bitrate there is only 192kbps. It's acceptable as far as I care, but I would still look for better rips if available.
