Oh cool!! Yeah I definitely tried it on a few silly ones just because lol. Now somebody’s just gotta try Sharkey, Misskey, MBin, uh… GoToSocial. Probably a bunch more that I don’t know about. ActivityPub is so neat!
I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

This doesn’t realllllyyyy answer your main question, but you got me curious how WriteFreely blog posts look from other platforms, and which ones can see them. So, I tried a few with this post of mine. Obviously some of these wouldn’t make any sense, and also for some of them I may have just never figured out how to properly format the URL/search the way it wanted. But, here’s what I got on every platform where I have an account:
Having used BookWyrm and NeoDB, it’s definitely very comparable to GoodReads vs IMDB, at least in terms of interface/user experience/aesthetics/etc. BookWyrm being specifically for books, it has a ton of fields that wouldn’t be applicable to anything else, i.e. “publisher”, " ISBN". It can pull data automatically from some outside book databases. NeoDB seems able to do that same thing, except for any kind of media. Not sure where all they’re pulling the data from. They also seem to have fields for just about anything, from tracklist to director to author.
It’s really nice! Great UI, not particularly buggy, feels great on the user end. Honestly pretty darn polished for a fediverse platform I’d never heard of until like a week ago. Also, the flagship instance (where I’m at) seems to be mostly reviews in Chinese, and it’s always nice to see parts of the fediverse that aren’t dominated by English. I am somewhat confused by the difference between a comment and a review, since both terms are used but everything seems to wind up in the same place? That said, I also haven’t tried very hard to figure it out either.
Maybe Loops, for shortform portrait aspect ratio stuff?
I convinced one person to make an account but they don’t use it. I do know another person IRL who uses Mastodon, so i send them Lemmy stuff there
I’ve been doing that exact thing, but only as long as the images would be Instagram-worthy in the first place. Not just temporary junk. I figure it’s probably more optimized for picture storage, since that’s the whole point right? Plus then I get it two places instead of one!
If you use the raw media link itself instead of the link to the post, it displays on Lemmy exactly the same as if you’d uploaded it here in the first place. So that’s nice.
Something about fractals generated from generalized random Fibonacci sequences
Loves me some
Oooh thank you for linking this, I hadn’t heard of it. Super cool!!
Sure, why not? I don’t eat meat currently but I’d prolly throw in a lab burger or two occasionally if they were available
I’d personally love to see Ibis get finished enough to become the go-to platform for fan wiki sites, replacing all the garbage ones filled with ads.
Battle Craze, yes please! It’s a fighting game, relatively all ages I think.
That’s where I’m at, nice place!
I’m not sure about overall activity, but I do know my feed is active enough that i can’t read ALL of it unless I spend like an hour or more per day on here, and that’s plenty active for me.
Ok, take this with a grain of salt because I read about it ages ago in a dubious pop-sci book and my memory is shaky. One time, they tried to gene edit yeast to be able to survive much higher alcohol concentrations. There’s lots of good reasons to want to do this… Beer/wine is just about the strongest beverage you can make without distillation of some kind because the yeast dies. Making way higher ethanol yields just from fermentation makes biofuel way more viable. Stuff like that.
EXCEPT… It nearly escaped, and was able to survive on it’s own. Yeast is very ubiquitous in nature, so a wild yeast that can tolerate massive ethanol concentrations could conceivably have altered life on earth as we know it.
A cursory internet search isn’t turning up anything about this, but I’m pretty sure I read it in the book Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody, if anyone wants to look harder than I did.
Pretty much just Battle Craze, I’m hooked on it lol.
The soundtrack to Boyfriend Dungeon is OUTSTANDING, I will never stop listening to it.
I think people use those for tea so they must be reasonably tasty. However, the ones in the store look pretty rough. I’d eat the greans on a fresh one though
