this one has got to be one of my favorites

I see good content, I upvote good content. Simple as.

Lemmy has a version of grimdank you might be interested in., but I don't know which instance it's on.

[email protected] let's find out if I did that right

That's why hard plugs are for short periods of fun times, and soft plugs are for all day / all night usage.

Speaking from experience.

I'm the type to beat my head against a wall until the wall breaks. Then through that hole, I lead my friends. Fewer and fewer of my friends follow me through such holes. Last time I did such, I brought all my friends to discord (and now I regret it). It is hard as fuck to convince normies to adopt a new platform. If they're not already invested, it will take a serious investment for them to give half a shit. I was able to get some people on discord by promising them that I was running a dnd campaign (I was at the time, but it fell apart shortly therefafter), and those people haven't been on discord since.

How do I convince them that lemmy is the future? I don't think I can. Fundamentally, lemmy is objectively better than reddit (not for features, but because lemmy won't ban you for mentioning green mario and other similar administrative bullshits). I wasn't able to convince them to use reddit back when reddit was good!

The infrastructure is there, and most of the features are there, but the content comes from content creators and they're not here yet.

For example, we have grimdank, but we don't have vezimira and emmawatnot. We have users who repost their content, but they're not posting here directly.

The thing that I am still struggling to wrap my smooth brain around, is that I have an account on a widely federated lemmy instance. Allegedly, I should also see content from mastadon and other federated services. How do I do that? How would I even phrase the question so that a search engine could provide useful results?

actually, imma ask chat gpt. if it spits out anything usefull, i'll report back.

i'll check it out, thanks. Posted my list in the original comment.

Not on iOS, but thanks anyway. Posted my list in the original comment.

give me a good rss reader, and I'll give you my list of feeds. I haven't checked on them in years, since google reader shut down.

EDIT: As promised, my list:

note: these are bookmarks, not rss links, because, you know, google reader doesn't exist anymore so I can't just export a thing. Everything on this list had an rss feed back when I bookmarked it. No particular order.

• https://loadingartist.com/
• https://questionablecontent.net/
• https://xkcd.com/
• https://what-if.xkcd.com/
• https://www.blender.org/feed/
• http://loldwell.com/
• http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/
• https://www.awkwardzombie.com/
• https://thegamercat.com/
• https://vgcats.com
• https://www.spinnyverse.com/
• https://www.exocomics.com/
• https://dresdencodak.com/
• http://metroid2remake.blogspot.com/
• https://www.oglaf.com/ Warning, frequently NSFW.

This list would have been longer, except:

• Shows that I'd use an rss feed to keep track of aren't on their own websites anymore, just youtube (and sometimes nebula or floatplane, or whatever). You didn't ask for youtube channels, so they got cut from the list.
• Some of the comics just don't exist anymore, their sites gone. LoZ Demon Road and Ask Mr Dragmire are notable examples, gone likely for obvious reasons.
• Several NSFW comics that I followed through e621, because google reader could turn their link format into an rss feed, i'm excluding because not actually rss.
• Several minecraft blogs that aren't relevant anymore (like The Word of Notch or Bukkit News)

Imma be looking at other comments for things to add to my list!)

I've tried a few keyboards over the years, and the only one that I actually liked was actual malicious adware.

Looking forward to seeing good suggestions in this thread.
