was an English teacher/tutor for a little while. it all makes me so sad and disappointed.

pretty much just the Lambda, Hugo, and Nebula awards. if a book has those it gets my attention.

my dapper little lad always puts me to shame

I'm on like 3 different ones, mainly defcon.social. All of them are under 5k users. I use a desktop app called Sengi to show feeds from all my accounts at once and group the federated feeds together, so yeah I can watch lots of posts fly by or scroll through at my leisure.

And yeah I pretty much just watch until I see a post I wanna favorite or boost. That's why I say it's the best way to find new accounts you wouldn't otherwise have thought to check out.

Generally my local and home feeds are much slower. So on mobile, when I'm done catching up on those I keep refreshing the federated. I would be so bored without the federated.

"federated next to useless?" nah it's my favorite. best way to find new people to follow

love a good Shakespearean fool

i so want somebody to get a picture of her constipated face lmao

exactly. we're just using AI to talk to their AI. they started it first.

smh

My Libby hold for the audiobook of Absolution by Jeff VanderMeer finally came in and I'm excited to start it.

Also started Piranesi by Susanna Clarke a couple days ago and it's one of those that's hard to put down.

unfortunately in my experience reddit still has more niche communities than can be found on lemmy, probably bc they have more users. they have more subreddits for specific games, cities/states, mental illnesses, spiritualities/world mythologies, art, music, and book genres... the number of times I've searched for a community on lemmy only for it to not exist makes me hesitant to accept this video's claim. reddit still has more niches than us. we just don't have the numbers or activity.
