If I want to view the local on Communick.News, I can’t. I have to create an account there. And if I want to view the local on Lemmy.World I need to log out of your instance, and log in over here.
you don't actually need to logout/login, you can view them anonymously
even if you wanted to login to a different instance, you don't need to logout of the previous one
although you'll have to copy paste the post links to your own instance's search bar in order to vote/comment
for no reason other than that reddit had lots of communities
Yea, looking back we probably should've had limits on creating communities. We all created too many lol
I'm not really sure this is a software issue, if anything Lemmy probably handles new and small communities better than Reddit does. We just don't have as many users.
doesn't PieFed do this?
Dragon Ball Super. People took a cherry-picked zoomed-in screenshot of Goku from like episode 4 or whatever and it's still memed even today, as if there aren't parts of the show that have outstanding animation.
Fair enough, I forgot if Mbin overall allowed this or not
kind of annoying that Mbin requires an account to view that (a big complaint of Discord or Facebook), here it is viewable from Lemmy
There are some moderation actions you can do from a different instance, I'm not sure which ones don't work or if they've all been fixed
You should create an account on a different instance and appoint yourself as moderator, at least for times when you don't want to get on VPN, like using an app on your phone
Me and my parents are loving it, we just watched all 4 episodes this weekend

Horror movies are a way to "smuggle subversive stories into the mainstream," according to Blumhouse founder Jason Blum

cross-posted from: https://retrolemmy.com/post/19502536
Freak culture is making its way mainstream, and if I may be so bold, I think a great deal of that is thanks to horror movies. Think of how many normies you watched over the holiday get really into Nosferatu memes, or how even the most Star-Wars-and-Marvel moviegoer you know will tip their hat to a messed-up A24 trailer. But hey, don't take my word for it, listen to one of the most important names in horror today: Jason Blum.
in 2023, Blum sat down with Nerds of Color for an exclusive NYCC interview. Not long into the discussion, interviewer Sophia Soto asked Blum why he, personally, kept returning to that most genre of genres, and his answer was very much about working weird into the wider world.
"I love horror movies," said the Five Nights at Freddy's producer, "Because it’s a way to like, smuggle subversive stories into the mainstream. So often these strange unusual stories are relegated to independent releases and tiny releases, and no one sees them, but horror is a great way to get subversive stories supported and told in the mainstream. That’s why I love horror."
As Popverse's resident goth kid, I'm absolutely biased when I say I completely agree. But my bias aside, think about some of the most lauded stories in recent cinema - The Substance, Get Out, Sinners - they're all unique tales that capture the human experience via blood, guts, and plenty of jumpscares. And speaking of that last point, Blum does go on to say that another reason he keeps coming back to horror is not just the subversive stories, but the immediate reactions he gets from audiences.
"The fun thing of doing horror movies," Blum told his interviewer, "Is you get to hear people’s reaction. You know, you make a drama, they might love it, but you won’t know because the audience doesn’t move. So, with horror and with comedy, you know if the people like the movie or not by how much noise they’re making and that’s very satisfying, when they’re making noise."

I think this would greatly reduce confusion for new users when they click a Lemmy link and end up on a different instance
