The best community search I know of is Lemmy Explorer. I found !marijuanaenthusiasts@lemmy.world but it doesn’t seem active. There are probably more if you’re willing to spend more than the 30 seconds I did on it.

Is it because, like me, you’d often type out full replies on Reddit, then decide at the last moment to not post it out of fear of becoming troll food?

I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

They always spend like an hour in the hallways outside the Penn and Teller Theater after shows meeting fans. The people who crowd around Teller are often magicians because he is notoriously generous when it comes to helping other magicians. They both are really, but I think a majority of successful magicians in the US have a trick in their repertoire that Teller helped out with in some way or another.

I just love that, after being silent all show, he comes out and talks enthusiastically with fans and colleagues.

The only celebrities that I met and had a moment to converse with were Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas.

My wife and I met them at a release event for a small electric car company in 2011 or 2012. I had just gotten a copy of “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along blog: The Book” and it was the first time he had seen it. So basically we flipped through the book together and Nathan pointed out things in pictures and talk about who made them or what they were made of.

it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup

One copy of of anything isn’t a backup, it’s a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you’re giving them all the trust and control.

I don’t think this game has much replayability. Especially as the server is becoming less and less stable.

Mallrats. And the director’s commentary is good too.

@feditips@mstdn.social is a must follow for me.

Beyond that let finding people happen organically. Focus on finding hastags and groups to follow, then the interesting people will start to bubble up in your feed naturally. See also.

And if you’re on a niche/topical server don’t forget to get an eye on your local feed. It gets swamped on big instances but can be a great discovery tool on smaller ones.

An evil like this can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano.

I always wonder what happened to the ensign that Ashley Judd played. Dr Crusher had a word with the Chief and ensign what’s-her-name was suddenly transferred to a Star Fleet farm in the beta quadrant.

I had completely forgotten about it and would have assumed it was a thing of the past.

And chrome is repeating history with that browser share too. I have to use chrome at work and it used to be that I used Firefox at home because of tab containers and a couple other extensions. Now I use it because it’s better.

Sometime over the pandemic it shifted. Now chrome is the thing bogging down and Firefox is snappy with a smaller memory footprint.

If this is IE all over again we’ve got a good 5+ years of slow attrition to look forward to.

Lemmy trends burn bright and fast.

Bob’s burgers is on in the background at my house quite a lot.

This is warning showing why spreading out is important. No one instance being offline should be able to affect so many Motorheads at once.

I learned the basics of 3D printing and Fusion 360 (CAD software) via youtube. And the 3D printing has gotten easier since I learned.

In the 90’s before I was doing it professionally, I used to go on massive 10 - 15 hour binge programming sessions only stopping when I realized I hadn’t eaten in that entire time. It was some of the best fun I’ve ever had. But it happened rarely and organically, not 5 days a week on a predetermined schedule.

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

1. Every day is a day I’d rather have off.
2. It ruined the thing I loved (programming) for me

And the old memes trend is that time the band did a bunch of coffee shop shows playing nothing but ukuleles.
