Sometimes what I'm interested in may be more specific or niche, but a lot of search engines and filtering systems don't seem to provide a way to drill down to those results. What may be some reasons behind that?

Or am I overlooking some obvious ways to search/filter this way?

Brogue's a more up to date spin on the classic game Rogue, with some slight modern touches to make it more approachable to newcomers while keeping to the spirit of the original.

As you can find in the link, Robot Carnival is an older animated anthology movie from 1987 with a similar scifi focus. It's by no means the same beyond that though, but still a good watch if you're a fan of scifi animation.

Also it's pretty easy to find somewhere to watch it for free across different streaming services, e.g. Retrocrush, Tubi, Freevee, Roku Channel, etc.

does this circus have many hands?

Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.

If sociology's exclusive to humans, then what might be the field of other social animal research?

Cross-posting has struck me as a little strange and I think maybe this is a part of it.

Doesn't it benefit larger communities more than smaller ones by keeping the activity in a larger one, since they can comment there rather than go to the smaller community? 🤔

There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole.

You went to this one site, and it mentioned some other site, and they kept your interest and kept linking on to others and you've surfaced just long enough to share here.

I was working on some stuff on my PC and stepped away for a bit, and on returning noticed notifications on it that some files had been downloaded via KDE Connect from my phone. I was using my phone at the time, and didn't send the files.

I know that you can quietly download files from a phone with its paired device (i.e. no notification on the phone, nor prompting permission) from allowed directories, but these files weren't from those directories, so...What may have happened here?

Glitched notifications, or something else?

Also, the downloaded files weren't anywhere on my PC, so... 😕

edit:
I found an issue report I think may be what I was seeing: KDE Connect spams the desktop with a torrent of old notifications.

Recently saw some posts about interest in following posts/comments for replies with PieFed, which made me wonder about essentially the opposite.

In Lemmy there's presently no option for this, and I gather similar functionality (auto-follow submitted posts & notify for replies) is on PieFed, but can't tell if there's any option to disable notifications/unsubscribe from one's own posts (yet).

**edit:**Thanks for the reply @andrew_s@piefed.social! From their reply on PieFed:

It does, yes. When you make a post or comment, there's a tick-box with 'Notify about replies'. It's ticked by default, but unticking it before you submit means you won't get notification about replies.

After that, you can change the status using the same bell icon that you use for other people's content. To subscribe to your post, I'd change the bell from struck-through to clear, and to unsubscribe to my own post, I'd change the bell from clear to struck-through.

Unfortunately this reply didn't federate so I only got around to checking PieFed's version of this thread today and read it. Seems some more stuff to work out in this regard

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.
