I'm a big fan of SunnySkyz and always wanted a similar site that was specifically for science news, so thank you for making this!! π

Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!
Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.
RULES:
Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:
- Messes

- Biological... byproducts
- Bigotry
Do not be a jerk.

While that is very cool and I totally love the idea, it is important not to overdose on hopium and I hope it doesn't become like similar reddit communities that tend to devolve into perseverence porn or the depressing trend of people thinking we can just invent our way out of this self made apocalypse and the intrinsically relevant reverence for some tech billionaires or entrepreneurial solutions to problems inherent to capitalism. We absolutely do need to acknowledge how fucked everything is and let that motivate us to also try to improve things.
In short I hope that this space is going to be welcoming to people finding creative ways to smash the beast within whose belly we are trapped in.
I understand where you are coming from and your concerns are valid. I designed this not as a replacement for your typical news but a temporary respite from the doom and gloom... A place where you can be in a Happy Daze if you will.
In that case I appreciate what you are going for, and a nice complimentary community can be found over at hexbear.net/c/bloomer though you might occasionally find posts celebrating for example a billionaire getting imploded in their vanity submarine.
I would definitely suggest crossposting stuff there because we could all use a bit more good news in our feed and it isn't the most active comm to be sure.
This is a great idea! Everything is so depressing nowadays.
Im glad you like it!
Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing/ making this
You are welcome :)
Great. More miracle cures and βbreakthroughsβ that weβll never see.
Science is slow, but I think you might be surprised some of these studies are really promising and pretty far along. For example we are finally seeing products with solid state batteries hit the market, graphene is being produced at a much more efficient rate, 3d printing and advanced material engineering is taking a leap and not to mention ai. The world is bright and brimming full of people trying their best to create a better future.
Thank you for your work!. We really need initiatives like these in these grim times.
You are welcome π
You could open a Lemmy community to post there too.
I will look into that!
Well there's already an uplifting news community.
This please! I avoid my rss reader when I want uplifting news...
Hell yes! We need more positive news! Good stuff!
thank you
Does it have an RSS feed? I'd love to have it in my regular news app.
Either way, very cool. Good job!
Thanks and yes it does: happydaze.io/rss
Cool!

What days is it available?
I try to post three times a week its not super consistent on which day of the week it ends up being, working towards posting once a day but im also limited by the pace of research and science etc..
Nice! Maybe add a button to the RSS feed. Saves a few clicks ;)
Good idea! Happydaze.io/rss is the rss link a button on the main site would be nice.
Very nice!
Ty!
