Comparisions:

There is a good amount on Lemmy that I have seen.

If you are active enough, you will start to see user names you recognize across major communities, as well as posts.

Edit: improved wording, a bit

The Labour Party is “left-wing,” as in that they are similar to the Democrats being “left,” but in reality they are republican-lites (conservative-lite).

Attraction to disability is a sexualised interest in the appearance, sensation and experience of disability.[1] It may extend from normal human sexuality into a type of sexual fetishism. Sexologically, the pathological end of the attraction tends to be classified as a paraphilia.[2][3] Other researchers have approached it as a form of identity disorder.[4][5][6] The most common interests are towards amputations, prosthesis, and crutches.[1] As a sexual fetish, attraction to disability is known as devotism, and those with the fetish are known as devotees.[1]

Sapiosexuality is a type of sexuality that involves being more attracted by the contents of a person’s mind than by the appearance of their body. To feel sexually attracted to another person, a sapiosexual person must first feel intellectually stimulated. Intelligence is often the first quality a person notices in a potential partner.

The word sapiosexual originated from the Latin root word ‘sapien,’ which means wise, and ‘sexualis,’ which means sexual. Sapiosexual is still a fairly new word, as Merriam-Webster’s first known use of the word was in 2004. According to research, between 1% and 8% of people aged 18 to 35 may be sapiosexuals.

Anyone can identify as sapiosexual, including both heterosexuals and LGBTQIA+ people. This means that people who identify as sapiosexual may be straight, gay, asexual, or another identity.^[2]

They are used to the short-term goals of stonks.

The more people there are, the more popular it is with the working class. Instead of being a niche community, you can meet non-tech people that know about Lemmy.

Lemmy is good as is; slow growth is better, IMO.

I agree. 

That is a feature from Reddit that I miss as well. There were also 3rd party backups of Reddit, so even if communities, posts, or comments were deleted, you would be able to see what was removed.

IMO: Anytime you had a question that you wanted to learn about, whether it be shows or science, you could go into your preferred search engine and type reddit and [your question].

A good amount of discussions on the topic would show up and still do.

One day people will use Lemmy as the search engine to look for those discussions, hopefully!

The duopoly choice is Bernie Sanders, even though he betrayed his movement and the people that helped fund and grow his grassroots campaign. 

A non-duopoly choice is a 3rd Party candidate, Jill Stien, Green Party. 

Awesome, thanks!

Edit: firestarter added, a must have

It seems to fit the name quite well.

I guess it was meant to be taken as a literal name; feel free to join in if you’re a firefighter or a Firestarter [1], that is.

Too many to list!

As long as one person is active in the community, it still lives for another day.

“Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with a mosquito in the room.” — The Dalai Lama

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say it’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem, then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” — Fred Rogers

Do you watch Joe Rogan directly or do you just watch people that talk about him and tell you what to think about him?

I agree that Ukraine has lost land due to the US/NATO stopping Russia-Ukraine peace deals and talks in 2022.

I am anti-war, so peace deals should be at the forefront; war is a Last Resort[1].

Many on the ‘far left’ and ‘far right’ say:

NATO is a terrorist organization.

It’s a quote I like to mention whenever there is news that shows NATO is trying really hard to help us get closer to WWIII happening. 

I don’t think any corporate (and non-corporate) news or organization would mention negative rhetoric about NATO.

NATO is a terrorist organization.

WWIII seems to be happening sooner than expected.

I wonder if BRICS will back Russia on placing missiles in Cuba again.

edit: maybe->may be

Awesome find!

You may [be] the expert diagnostician we were looking for, the cactus horticulturist!

What species or type of cacti is it?

Did you change when you water, move locations, or anything that may have an impact on its health?

Not too sure either, but the more info the better.

Then more research to be done, so as to figure possible conditions ot causes!

We need House M.D., an expert diagnostician… but in this case a cactus doctor, cactus horticulturist.

Thanks for clarifying and going further into explaining your views to us!

Some people can be seen as being a dreamer[1], I see myself as such a person, I try to stay hopeful, I see it as a much more positive way of living in the world; as well as much healthier for our mental health

Lemmy as a niche platform not one that appeals the masses

Yes, Lemmy is currently a niche platform, but that is how many start off, it takes time and much effort to grow a community.

It is similar to grassroots movements, where people that are leaders or learn to become one are willing to speak with anyone for a cause they feel strongly about, and they start to grow slowly.

I see lemmy in that phase or light, where most activity will be from people that are willing to throw themselves out there and share their favorite hobbies and put in the energy to interact with strangers (whether it may be apositive or negative interaction is another thing).

It takes time for people to come out of their shells and to start being active on forums as well, hopefully in Lemmy we give people that opportunity to grow as people and to take chances to meet and discuss any topic with strangers.

A few dedicated people can’t foster a genuine community out of sheer enthusiasm.

Well, it takes a few to start something new, in my eyes all important causes and projects start with a few people just having fun or putting the time to create something new.

To accomplish anything in life, it will take time and a lot of energy and people willing to do that.

I just don’t personally see that happening.

It is okay to see the world in that way, but just putting a bit of effort into sharing or creating a community that you like, will help improve the community.

Activity would increase, if you create a community or decide to share more of your hobbies and opinions within those communities.

If the communities would be liked by Lemmurs or not, it is another matter, but in the end of the day we all have our own way of seeing the world and we can have discussions with people that are willing to share their views as well.

The only way we can continue to grow as people, is by forcing ourselves to push against our own bias and to keep talking with people that do not think or agree with what we have to say.

Much text to read, here is a Lemmur for a fun pic:

Change is not easy, it takes time and people willing to help foster that new change.

I am one of those people that is really into politics, but I try to interact with other communities once in a while!

It is an election year, so politics is always in an all time high on any forums and social media.

I suggest, if you are willing, to step up your game and be really active in the communites you would like to see flourish.

It may be lonely, but it tends to be when starting new things!

We are all trying the best we can, when we can, I give props to the lemmyverse and fediverse for all they do!

Thanks for posting, even if you used a burner account!
