Read on what happened with Panchen Lama to get an idea on what will happen once the Dalai Lama passes. Traditions be dammed.

Is it just me or do most of these post titles run off and I can’t read the whole thing?

Lapus ,

I click on them hoping to read the rest. Frustrating.

There must be a title character limit not being communicated to the user.

I’m the 99%. Often I write something in the text field but then decide not to post it because I think it’s too dumb or not original enough.

Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.

I have been posting and commenting a LOT more than I ever did on Reddit. Some small part of that is a desire to grow the platform and my communities.

Me too, keep it up 🤘

Time to contribute to a platform that I can believe in.

I posted links on Reddit like 5-10 years ago… Then the power mods showed up, nuked my links for some obscure rule violation, then allowed someone else reposted them minutes later.

I gave up.

Same. I have posted here twice with better luck. Reddit has some weird posting rules. Some I get. Some I think are crap. Now I usually just comment.

Herbert Polzhuber (June 1938 – 24 June 2015) was an Austrian fencer and modern pentathlete. Considered one of Austria’s greatest épée fencers, he participated at four consecutive Olympic Games in 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976, being a fencer in each in addition to a pentathlete in his first appearance.[1][2] He is also partly remembered for an incident at the 1965 World Pentathlon Championships, where he allegedly drank 10 beers and a bottle of cognac before firing his pistol into the ground and passing out.

Was always a lurker on Reddit, now I’m an instance admin lol so I sort of have to comment and post often.

It feels way more a community on Lemmy though so I’m much more active than I ever was on Reddit I love it!

Viniyur , to technology in 1% rule: 1% of users actively create new content, while the other 99% only lurk.

Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people’s opinions and content.

I admit it: I’m a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.

…“From your brother Johann, landowner”. Ludwig signed his reply, “From your brother Ludwig, brain owner”.

In case the text was cut off for anyone else.

Thanks! How are you able to see the full text?

I just followed the link and found the line there. I’m not sure how to view the full title when it cuts off like that.

Thanks anyway!

I guess I was a lurker until just now when I made my account. This is literally my first post on my lemmy.world account.

I’ll start actually posting things when my favorite communities jump ship from Reddit. Until then I’ll just lurk while occasionally commenting.

miles OP ,

What are some of your favorite communities?
