overview for JWBananas

As a man I can assure you we have the same problem. I have garments with a 30" waist that fit the same as a 34" waist. And I have pants with a 29" inseam that go past my feet and 32" inseam that don't.

What's your filter settings on Lemmy? I feel like I miss the big posts and such. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

My biggest gripe is that the all feed is not actually the all feed from across the fediverse, but a feed from all instances your instance is federated with.

It's even worse than that. It's all communities that users on your instance have subscribed with. If someone creates a new community on another instance, you won't see it on yours until you or someone else discovers and subscribes to it.

What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

We didn't ask for stretchy pants. Give me back my cotton jeans.

And while you're at it, put back the other two belt loops.

Sure, maybe Sera was an unreliable narrator, and it's just the USS Relativity working in the background to correct things (even if they end up happening a few years off from when they should).

But maybe in the time scale of millennia, it more or less evens out.

Khan comes to power later in the timeline, but DIS and SNW seem a little more modern than they should? Some things are slowed down, and others are sped up.

One upon a time, reddit did not have communities. It was a simple, uncategorized link aggregator. When subreddits were added later, they migrated all of the existing content to /r/reddit.com.

They kept it open for some time after that while users adjusted. But eventually they restricted new posts because it had served its purpose.

On a platform like /kbin which launched with communities from day one, it seems antithetical to encourage users to make uncategorized posts. As this is a young platform, there are comparatively fewer communities established today. And of those that do exist, many are still trying to find their footing.

It seems to make more sense to encourage users to grow those communities and to create even more. The massive number of strong, unique communities was one of the main draws of reddit.
