Anytime I can pet a cat in a game I usually take a 10-15 minute break (or just stop playing) to pet my cats irl. Something about petting a digital cat triggers me to appreciate my real cats right then and there.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.
If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.
If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 2 weeks ago:
Do you happen to know if most microwaves throw a fit when they’re run while empty/with nothing to heat, or if it just some of them? I feel like i should’ve known that little factoid about them freaking out when running while empty by now.
- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 2 weeks ago:
In a restaurant, they may just grab a plate that has just come out of the dishwasher since industrial dishwashers are really fucking hot.
I guess part of me knew this was the real reason the plates were hot and not because the diner warmed them up for me.

- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
imo this friction will erode as larger instances come into play; people will join a large, main instance without even knowing of the others, and-- if they have a problem with the instance they joined-- they’ll find they can easily jump ship there.
