I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

    I’ve presented you with the proof that early Reddit was populated with large numbers of sockpuppet accounts by the owners, creating whole cloth communities to draw in users, which is not something that is happening on Lemmy.

    The entire reason the Digg mass exodus was viable was people leaving Digg found these “preexisting” Reddit communities and felt more comfortable joining in.

    Lemmy doesn’t have that socketpuppet population to springboard with, so growth is slower and unpopulated communities are not falsely full of fake users.

    Yes Lemmy is smaller and doesn’t have instantly fully formed communities. Reddit has been around for almost 2 decades. Lemmy is newer, smaller, and actively fights the sorts of shenanigans that Reddit initially used to get big.

    If you want more niche activity, make posts and interact with posts. Lemmy is user driven- that means you. It isn’t a giant megasite where you can just expect to be a passive receiver of endless content.

    Good. Messy, but that’s normal with a banh mi. The presentation and the flavor was more simple and felt more authentic than a lot of banh mis served in popular “fusion” restaurants where they all try to Guy Fieri up the flavor in some way.

    For me, it’s the Flying Dutchman Animal Style. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra chopped chilis and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

    One time I asked for an extra slice of cheese and they gave me three. I said, “Wow, three for free!” and the nice friendly In-N-Out worker laughed and said, “I’m going to call you 3-for-free!”.

    Now the staff greets me with “hey it’s 3-for-free!” and ALWAYS give me three slices. It’s such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local In-N-Out restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large milkshake, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I’m in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

    I even dip my fries in milkshake, it’s delicious! What a great restaurant.
