It displays on the Lemmy web UI. What interface do you use?

LW is already the largest community by far, to a point where geographically distant communities cannot stay synchronized

Or post to the sports community rather than a specific team

It seems to be sport dependent, I just opened [email protected] and stumbled upon a 120 comments thread from 5 days ago: https://fanaticus.social/post/4293058

You can probably post about this on [email protected], it seems the most active baseball community.

I even use the Lemmy default UI on phone and don't have any issues with that, but I've seen people to whom having a dedicated app was very important.

the non-meme Lemmy content is rather small.

Did you have a look at the active communities promoted on [email protected] ?

Comment conversation seems lacking.

Depends on the topic:

The idea of “start your own” mindset in the design makes community formation just as bad as Reddit. There doesn’t seem to be any tools for a more collaborative approach to running subs or instances.

I had a look, seems like Memmy isn't being developed anymore, which might explain why links don't work: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/14284049

I agree with you, that's just a point I've seen raised quite a few times in the past, in a similar way to https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/post/17733

There was an infamous post by feditips against Lemmy, but it seems to have been removed

There is [email protected], but it could be more active indeed

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I know, sacrilege to admit around here.

It's not, but we also try to promote active communities to a wider audience on [email protected]

Wow, didn't expect to make it here, thanks 😄

 

Example of feet hidden:

 

In English, the name of document that entitles someone to drive a vehicle differs, with around generally 6 permutations. Driving/Driver/Driver’s and licence/license.

As a noun, “licence” is generally how you would spell the verb using British English, whereas in American English the noun is spelled the same as the verb; “license”.

Driving vs. “Driver’s” is more subjective in my opinion. It is an authorisation for the act of driving, so it being a “Driving” licence/license is logical. As the same time, the document is in the possession of the driver, so “Driver’s” is also equally as valid. A handful of countries use “Drivers”, which is just sloppy, as it doesn’t make any grammatical sense.

I tried my best to compile data on all countries which mention the document in English. In Australia, Canada and the US, licences are issued by state/territory, so I’ve included their differences.

I only included countries for which an English version of the name is on the actual licence. On many EU licences, the English is written very faintly on backgrounds. For many smaller countries I couldn’t find examples of the document. In South America, ‘Licencia de conducir” was most common, but a few permutations in Spanish. On the African continent, the French “Permis de conduire” was also fairly common. Multi-language licences with English, French and other languages was also common. I only picked out the English translation for this map.

In my subjective opinion, "Driving licence" feels most right; but as this map illustrates, it’s a diverse interpretation. For licence/license, the difference between C/S is almost indistinguishable in a small font and in spoken word. Some evident US/UK influence on the map.

Hello,

Would it be possible to have weekly discussion threads? This usually helps giving people a place to chat without having to create posts themselves
