For those who are viewing a community and it looks empty, that means you're the first person from your instance to have ever visited that community.

If you decide to subscribe to it, you and everyone else from your instance will start seeing new posts that gets posted after you subscribed.

Shameless self-promotion for !radiolemmy@lemmy.blahaj.zone

A radio station for Lemmy users, by Lemmy users (and eventually the greater Fediverse).

Coming soon!

Currently accepting song submissions and applications for DJs/presenters/podcasters. Website is currently down so please PM me for more info.

God bless that fossil person for keeping that place alive.

Superbowl

My life is falling apart. The last reliable and consistent thing in my life is the owl picture instance. I don't even like animals.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

No pressure or anything there! 😅

I'm glad I serve a wide range of functions with my owl stories, but you can just talk to me about non-owl stuff if you ever need to.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I ain't gonna burden you with that buddy, it's just been a really rough year. Just keep doing what you're doing. Hopefully the owl pictures will get me through to the point I can return to my Aztec studies.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well the offer still stands if you need it. I'm just another person over here on my end, not some content farm. I've really enjoyed your participation in our group and want you to be happy.

I know you're not too far away from where I live or work as well, and while I don't have a huge social network since I'm more introverted in real life, if you're looking for work or some type of community resource or something, I can look around.

Regardless, I am wishing you all the best! You have always been really nice talking with me.

♥️🦉

C'mon @MisterNeon@lemmy.world , quit being a pussy and bottling up everything inside.
@anon6789@lemmy.world is offering you an ear. Gather your guts and talk your sadness out of your body. Sadness hates it when you talk about it with others. #SharingSadnessSaddensSadness

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I don't think that is going to help 🙄

[–] piwakawakas@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Came here to mention this. Owl of the year is the best thing on Lemmy!

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I try to make it a fun time for all!

[–] piwakawakas@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 days ago

You do a great job <3

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You do a great job of it.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I hope today goes OK for you pal. Sorry to hear things are shit.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I started !webgames@lemmy.zip to replace the reddit sub but I only posted a few things there. I like more dedicated games in general but sometimes browser games are a brief fun distraction (although there are definitely extensive ones as well).

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't explain it too well, but !historyartifacts@piefed.social is the kind of a comm I use for treating depression. I can just sit down and browse it and go "Ooo, interesting and neat stuff".

I didn't see any post there? Is it just on my end ?

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Try viewing it locally. It does appear empty from your instance.

[–] Luxyr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

This has happened to me when on a small instance from which no one has viewed a community before. Once the insurance has loaded the community at least once, stuff should appear.

I'm pretty proud of how Travel developed this year; i just relaunched it last week to fix the name.

It's all accurate travel information and fun travel shares.

This is the old com with more content to see if you're interested in the OC to come.

Yes, there is an owl picture to fit any style or decor.

If God made owls, I would consider that an endorsement of owls.

We just voted the Buffy Fish Owl as our Owl of the Year, so that could be a good place to start looking.

It means you have a house located near owl food and owl shelter.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for the specific replies. I know you're a caretaker of owls.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Indeed!

I finished getting my preventative rabies shots in November, so hopefully even more animals next year. I need to get my antibody levels checked to make sure it took yet, and then I can take care of bats, foxes, groundhogs, skunks, and raccoons as well.

[–] DigitalAudio@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

Yes but it's also perfectly valid to want your social media experience to be exclusively for easy non political entertainment.

I don't need to think about that stuff during the five minutes of free time I have between other stuff. I want to see crafts or animals or learn about geography or languages. An apolitical social media experience does not make an apolitical life or individual.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Great video.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I personally enjoy the Curated Tumblr comm as well as Microblog Memes. Usually worth a laugh or a pique of my interest.

(Sorry I don't know how to link communities, esp on mobile)
