Welcome to Lemmy! Hope you like it here.

How has your first day been? Any trouble finding your way around?

LW can have some communities, as a treat, no? :)

If not, someone can just create [email protected]

I agree that c/funny should stay separate. But I don’t see a huge distinction between the content on whitepeopletwitter and microblogmemes. Might as well go with the name which is broader and less racially charged.

[email protected]

also, did we really have to keep that name

[email protected] is right there. Should we consolidate?

On the internet, nobody knows you are Australian.

To be clear, I’m ~90% convinced that it’s not her, but there’s still ~10% of me that wonders if it could be… :)

I’d be surprised if any celebrity was on Lemmy lol

Paging @[email protected] ;)

Latitude isn’t everything. The North Atlantic Current causes Europe to be warmer than an equivalent latitude in North America.

I never cease to be amused at how the English continue to be surprised that “summer happens” every year.

Looks fun; subscribed!

I think it’s fine here. If something like [email protected] existed, that would be more appropriate, but I think askscience is fine, given the relatively small size of Lemmy.

Is there any specific link to beer, or is that just an example of a common treat that many people like to have a little extra money to spend on?

Not something I’m into at the moment, but maybe one day. I’m glad that someone is building the community! Best wishes!

I’m not sure if we understand “hate” and “love” well enough in biological brains to the point where we would be able to replicate the emotions with transistors and be confident that we had succeeded.

I don’t have a reddit account so I can’t verify, but IIRC it doesn’t ignore single return commands

I do, and can verify that it does ignore a single return character.

Your mother was a zombie?

[email protected]

Truly [email protected] material.

Is that a subway station? Or a subway line? My brain recognizes it as vaguely train related…

Have you reached out to @[email protected], the active mod of [email protected], for their thoughts?

If they are on board, it would be great if we could make the community migration semi-official.

From past experience, the most effective way to migrate users seems to be to lock the old community and leave a pinned post redirecting users to the new community.

A few of us recently consolidated the electric vehicles communities this way, and I know Blaze has had similar successes.
