I have become the GallowBoob of Lemmy comments. Look upon me and despair.
Rage comics, narwarls bacon at midnight, poopknife, BothArmsBroken /s
Seriously though, a poemforyoursprog would be welcome addition. In the same vein shittywatercolor. Maybe even some shittymorph "In 1985 mankind....". Nah, scratch that last one.
Here's the thing...
"You said a 'jackdaw is a crow.' "
I miss SchoodleDoodleDoo's poems.
We are all KenM on this blessed day
Honestly can't think of any that aren't already here.
Sometimes I miss the ol' switcheroo. That was a fun way to take a random walk through a bunch of communities I would never normally visit.
I hope at some point people will add inurl:lemmy to their G***** search to get better results.
I've sometimes tried that with some rare successes, but I think we should have made it a requirement for instances to include "lemmy" somewhere in the domain name.
Lemmy urls may not neccessarily have the word lemmy in them.
Why are you censoring "Google"?
That was his password, Lemmy automatically obscures your password when you type it.

See? I can't even see what you typed, all asterisks. The security is top notch. I'll even put my social security number *** ** **** and Lemmy automatically keeps it secure.
TIL commenting just asterisks appears to show a blank comment
And adding words turns those asterisks into a line
Ballsy, just casually dropping the G-word here!
Intentional jokes with community names - anime_titties, trees, superbowl
[email protected] is already a thing, but I've said before and am repeating here that this is a lot less funny on a platform where "superbowl" on other instances can still be communities about the Super Bowl than on reddit where there could be only one "superbowl" subreddit
Yeah. It loses the fun on the joke when it is just ported over from a different site. It is history now, not comedy.
anon6789 is a fucking champ. I don’t know how they churn out posts about owls and keep them high quality, but they do.
We also have equally if not even more complete content for Opossums here on Lemmy.
Owls are just that awesome! Makes it easy to find good stuff.
Idk maybe some old school redditism, like the redditueqette and something like that, but I think we already have this mostly speaking
Nah, downvote is still used as a disagree button instead of a unconstructive button. Reddiquette was a nice idea but it has never been the norm.
None that I can think of, honestly.
