Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?

Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don't know!

I grew and modded the K League (Korean football) sub previously, and I've wondered about starting one Lemmy. I would like one to be here so that I can can keep up with what's happening easily, but I also kinda like not having a feeling of responsibility to post stuff regularly.

If I did start one, does anyone know if there's any technical problems with creating and modding a comm on an instance different from your home instance?

It exists, but there is almost nobody writing. I also haven't seen any other writing communities. I'm not interested in writing, usually, but I always enjoy reading what others have wrote.

HFY is basically the only reason I get on Reddit nowadays.

Sometimes I struggle with writing prompts for AI and I don't understand why it is not doing what I want. I wish there was a active community for helping with that.

For example I wanted it to go through this post https://piefed.jeena.net/post/125521 and list all the movies mentioned and augment them with the release date, director and genre. But it already fails at just finding the movies mentioned. I thought this is a perfect thing to do for AI which I can do easily manually but it just takes time, but nope.

Yeah that is a perfect use for AI. Here’s what I came up with:

Using this list of classic movies, can you create a table which also includes each movie’s release date, director and genre? (Insert list of movies)

Here is a table that includes each movie's release date, director, and genre:

Movie Title Release Date Director Genre
M 1931 Fritz Lang Thriller, Crime, Mystery
Gone with the Wind 1939 Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood Drama, Romance, War
The Godfather 1972 Francis Ford Coppola Crime, Drama
Taxi Driver 1976 Martin Scorsese Crime, Drama, Thriller
Murder on the Orient Express 1974 Sidney Lumet Crime, Drama, Mystery
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975 Milos Forman Drama
Rear Window 1954 Alfred Hitchcock Mystery, Thriller, Crime
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 1964 Stanley Kubrick Comedy, War, Satire
Chinatown 1974 Roman Polanski Mystery, Thriller, Drama
Le Grande Bouffe 1973 Marco Ferreri Comedy, Drama
L'Avventura 1960 Michelangelo Antonioni Drama, Mystery, Romance
Tengoku to jigoku (High and Low) 1963 Akira Kurosawa Crime, Drama, Thriller

This table lists the movie titles alongside their release dates, directors, and genres. Let me know if you'd like more details or adjustments!
