@Nicolaz I didn't see an post so hi! Really glad to see you here! If you need any tips on using the fedi, I'd be happy to help or point you to links that can get you started easier.

@weirdwriter Thank you! I do need help. Maybe too three basic tips that would be helpful to someone coming from Twitter and Bluesky?

weirdwriter OP ,

@Nicolaz Hmm. Best 2/3 tips, follow hashtags and groups, not people. use directories like the Trunk, and finally, it's okay to lerk and not reply despite what others tell you! My full guide is here with some apps/user directories, etc. Link at end.

The hashtags I'd recommend are below. My guide has directories to follow.

More stuff is below but My guide can be found at https://blindjournalist.wordpress.com/2022/05/01/mastodon-for-writers-and-readers/

hashtags I like.

hashtags are the best way to find new people in addition to the directories I outline in my guide, etc. Below, you can see some communities/groups I like and follow.

Groups I like/follow.

@bookbook Merci, le fediverse fonctionne 😁. J’ai eu peur de pas les recevoir car ils sont arrivés 2 jours après que je sois parti en vacances (heureusement qu’on ne partait qu’une semaine, sinon le colis serait reparti 😅).

@grim @louis Same. It is pretty much the definition of a communist society.

The games industry needs to slow down. There's just too much.

@rodhlann@kbin.social avatar

@jahed It's one of, if not the, biggest industries in entertainment. I don't think it'll slow down any time soon. People need to start advocating financially for better games.

jahed OP ,
@jahed@mastodon.online avatar

@rodhlann I know, but I think we have tons of great games released and scheduled already. Just a shame most of them will get overlooked simply because there's too much. The boom is really sky rocketing this year, likely due to the COVID backlog.

I share the author's love of real books and have never succumbed to the Kindle cult. The statistics seem to be about new book sales, so I'm curious about about sales of used books, which are the main source of my supply.

If you buy print editions, which do you buy the most?

That’s allright. I sometimes eat at McDonals, even though it’s shit. Most days I cook at home though.

I’ll never visit Reddit again (I’d sooner go to 4chan), because RIF was reddit for me, but reddit is still there and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. It’s allright to go there some times, if that’s what you want. We’re not here to guilttrip you. The decision is entirely your own.

As part of , we'll be using the MUFI Unicode specifications for transcription. I've created a spreadsheet of the codes, divided by category, which will be added to by the students. If others will find this useful, I can make it publicly available at the end.

@litteracarolina@mastodon.online avatar

The spreadsheet containing MUFI Unicode signs for medievalists is now available until September 30:

https://owncloud.gwdg.de/index.php/s/Tm8SHZ3hHhNUnQM

The file does not yet have a complete selection of codes/signs (e.g. I still need to add all the p and q variants), but this may be useful to some of you. If you send me additional codes, I can update and put this up again in October.

Please note you need to install a font like Junicode in order to be able to see all the signs!

Vorerst bleibt es hier etwas ruhiger, da die Promotion zum Abschluss gebracht werden will. 📜

Dennoch bin ich natürlich auch für nicht untätig. Dieses Jahr werden mindestens zwei Kleinstücke in den regionalen Druck gehen. 🐝

Auch den möchte ich zumindest hier nach dem Urlaub wieder etwas mehr pflegen. Es wird also nicht langweilig und wieder etwas lebendiger.

Das erste Stück wird sich um die im des 18. Jahrhunderts, das andere um den Versuch der (Wieder?) Einführung der Zeidlerei im des 16. Jahrhunderts drehen.
Sobald die Periodika gedruckt sind, werde ich natürlich informieren. 📯

Die Druckfahne für die Spreewälder Zeidlerei konnte ich bereits korrigiert zurücksenden. Ich freue mich sehr. Und auch der erste Aufsatzteil zur Thüringer Zeidlerei hat bereits zum Herausgeber gefunden.

So - I’m not sure if this I because you’re posting from a platform outside Lemmy or how any of this works - but the title for your post was just links to gaming communities, then the body of your post doesn’t even mention the name of your game.

Don’t think you’re going to get he kind of attention you want posting that kind of content.

@elonjet I have an honest question. How can an engine emit more CO2 (by weight) than the fuel it consumed?
