Honestly? It feels a bit mid for me. I keep reflexively opening the app, and there's still a lot of smaller communities I peek at. I try to keep time-burning scrolling here, but it doesn't feel the same.

 

I'm using one of those library sellers and Plex keeps taking down the library :/

The library folks are advertising Emby as an alternative but Plex is the only thing that works on my old iPad on iOS 10. Do yall have any similar setups or have found alternatives?

Dang this really sucks :/ i understand why it's important from a modding perspective. I guess I'll need to open an account elsewhere and get a client with multi account support

I also wonder/hope if specialized Lemmy apps can paper over friction issues like these. For example i know that RedReader prefers viewing the cache of pages if recent

Edit: and oh lord please fix the cross-instance community links 😭

That's in insane amount of users and so glad they've picked an instance that will eventually refederate

Afaik kbin.social's DDOS protection through cloudflare is messing with federation. I don't believe it will be permanent but I don't have a source on that.

I want the more the merrier as long as we can moderate the more toxic tendencies, but at this moment I'm also pleased that much of the folks and vibes are much like reddit when i first joined

The even better experience is seeing people try out federated versions of what they love, re-decentralizing the internet 🥰

I'll start: my personally favorite sci fi that that I wish more people knew about is Orphan Black. It features Tatiana Maslany really showing off her acting prowess. Basically, she plays a street rat who encounters an identical but well off version of herself who jumps in front of a train. In discovering this apparent twin's life, she realizes there's yet more of her and that they're being killed off.

The cast, both Tatiana and not-Tatiana, are really good at embodying their characters and the world is neat at showing something that could actually be happening under our noses this second.

Edit: here's a low spoiler example

The middle episodes lag a bit on the pacing but the most recent ones really feel like they've gotten a tight grip on one of the main tensions!

show spoilerI really want to see a mirror smashing party

 

Please mark book and show spoilers

I understand it's not the best sci Fi out, but when I was young City of Ember was a favorite book of mine and in Minecraft I loved underground structures. I love how Juliette is shrewd but imperfect, even frustrating. The show and books are getting different more each episode but in ways that add intrigue by fleshing out characters or hardly explored parts of the silo in each other.

It's interesting being a recovering country gay because I've made a lot of lesbian and non binary friends but i still want to do the dating/bf experience :(
