When what's written is in a language you can read, what's up with that? Reading is free, so to speak, and it enables laziness by not having to find and ask people stuff

I follow ya, I have trouble writing these questions to thread the needle between too broad and too narrow. Too broad and understandably, I get responses correctly calling it out as you have, yet too narrow and it doesn't produce the conversation and different responses I'm interested in seeing.

There are a lot of ways to interpret this question, it really depends on the information and the people.

This is intentional. When I post to this AskLemmy community I try to frame my questions to fit its description:

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

I fall back to more specific questions here when I can't find a relevant, active community to post to (or forget to look for one).

I was meaning any kind of information wherein clarity may be valued, so political information is a valid kind to consider for sure!

While I'm aware of Contact, and know it relates to people, do you really agree with that premise? Isn't the inconsistency in employed units of measure sufficient to indicate otherwise?

Some more detail: I'm asking in regards to basics for those interested in setting up their own place online, but also just as much for some of the online services you can't be bothered to spin up yourself for one reason or another.

Thanks! I'll have to give it a look.

They only trust what the hear and see on social media.

Is there any data yet that backs this thinking?

Would there be any sort of logs either from the systems used to move the satellite, or aboard the satellite itself, to help answer the who question, if nothing else?

That's what I'm not sure of, like where would something like public blogs have appeared in the past? I know the private version is basically a journal or diary, but I'm not as sure if those were sometimes more publicly shared in the past or not.

To be more specific, by blog I'm thinking like personal, individual writings on whatever they happened to be thinking about or interested in.

Honestly broadly interested in storing/organizing any variety of things but in a way that they may be easily moved around. Tool carts are always a fav in this respect, and make me curious about similar for other things like books/models/etc.

I think posters/flyers are one of the most powerful ways to reach people in a local area, you’ve got to be in the local area to see them, right?

For sure in terms of locality, but not sure how effective they are in areas with lower foot traffic due to infrastructure. In a city this may work well, but does it also work as well in more rural, spread-out areas?

And what do you think helped keep the group work from falling into the stereotypical exercise in frustration?

 

Sometimes I feel like if I do so I'm basically serving as an ad, and I don't really care for that, especially if later I find that the business was scummy in some ways (which is often the case, especially later as it changes leadership/ownership).

If you do, how do you deal with it?

 

And what do you think helped keep the group work from falling into the stereotypical exercise in frustration?

 

Perhaps after some amount of time having announced themselves over in !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, or...I don't know if there are communities for instances (the fediverse communities, presumably?), but likewise for them?

The combination of a promotional space and discussion for helping grow communities/instances could help ensure there's always some activity keeping this community visible to those seeking help.

 

They've run off somewhere the past few days I think, and I tried a hard refresh of the site on desktop with no change. Also looked via app and the lil' Lemmee's disappeared there as well.

It's nbd, but has had me wondering.

 

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.
