Lemmy is basically: Cats, Star Trek, Politics, and Linux. Occasionally it has a few other subjects pop up like wizard posting (pondering the orb), me personally I hope that Lemmy has a massive wave of alienposting.

Ngl I thought all the stars were the eyes of black cats at first

What happened exactly?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Ok I thought that was only me

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Why does the one astronaut have the flag of Ohio on the shoulder?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

yeah, i had to unsubscribe from !cats because 80% of my feed was cats

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same for me, which strikes me as a fundamental problem with the platform that once one community blows up it drowns out the others

Could do with some balancing algorithm that soft caps the ratio of posts from a single community that get shown on any given page

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup, that's what I thought scaled sorting does

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

All the more reason to make more posts in other instances to flood the feeds with more diversity.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Where? I don't see any cats in my feed and I feel like I'm missing out

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Beehaw defederated from a bunch of instances, maybe you're not federated with the one people are posting to

They're all in the cats community if you aren't subscribed prob won't see em

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Fair enough, I forgot other people still federate with .world

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, beehaw defederated from lemmy.world, home of [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Imagine defederating from an instance with the cat picture community

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Same, zero cats.

They have a ton of liberals who bootlick the government, love corporations, and call anyone left of Reagan a "Tankie"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

Politics are a huge part of Lemmy in general, and Lemmy.world is overwhelmingly bad with that respect.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I'm interested mainly in politics on lemmy, and people coming from .world with some exceptions tend to have really dogshit political takes.

The internet was made for us to share cats!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No the memes are gettin self-referential too quickly for me because i need even more cat pics.

I will add a cat pic because this post does not have one and by gaw it will

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Where's all the lemmings damn it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Cats and Star Trek. I will continue the fight for Babylon 5 tho

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who are you?

What do you want?

Why are you here?

Where are you going?

Do you have anything worth living for?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact you might already know! Lorien’s actor did a lot of work on B5 as aliens. His human appearance was Sebastian (remembered only as Jack)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The universe began with a word. But which came first: the word or the thought behind the word?

He's so damn good! The makeup is just 👩🏼‍🍳😙👌🏼 I have a mighty need for a rewatch!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I rewatch fairly often 😅 especially when I’m indoctrinating someone close to me to the series haha. I was born when it premiered and watched it when young. I live vicariously through newcomers reactions to plot reveals.

It’s one of those shows that gets better and better upon rewatching as there are references to upcoming events if you know what to look for.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just need to buy the DVD set tbh, last I watched it was yearssss ago 😭 but I'm proud of myself for remember the questions haha

There's so much foreshadowing! Fuck, off I go to get the set haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I’ve bought the series multiple times over 🫠 the dvds are great though for the commentary. There are some actor commentaries and some from JMS. Also the outtakes for each season are wonderful; I still reference them to this day haha

“The Babylon project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed. bum bum bah In the year of the Shadow War it became something greater; our last best hope for victory.”

Edit; I’m actually doing a rewatch now and nearing the end of Season 4. I already miss Season 3. Although nothing beats “Drazi: Captain, we’re sorry we thought you were dead. Sheridan: I was, I’m better now.”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Exactly.

It's right about time for yet another rewatch, too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

It remains topical to this day. Appeasement and other historical references just keep repeating ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
