I can’t. I’m dead. GameChanger new season aired ep1 yesterday.
I’m not a shill, but if you’re not watching dropout and you like to have fun, please go do so. A solid variety of content from mayhem to inspirational.
I need to discuss and/or see other people’s takes on these shows.
Help me Lemmy: Where can I talk about this stuff. Dropout doesn’t seem to host any internal forum or promote a space on another tool, and I don’t want to use a subreddit or discord server named after them because fuck those companies.
The dropout lemmy communities on lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone seem dead.
Is there another place everyone already knows about? Should I be the change I want to see in the world and post to a community to try and revitalize it? Should I sit and stew in my own thoughts?
I just recently subscribed to Dropout. These people are so funny.
They really are. So many amazing people on their shows, and a variety of kinds of show.
I’m trying not to sound like PR for them, because I’m not, but I really like their content and ethos; and will recommend them as a place to go for fun stuff. Fuck Sam Reich (but only if you’re Elaine) - that probably proves I’m not corporate?
They need to re-up Gastronauts and Crowd Control. Those are some of my favorites, though they can be a bit hit or miss based on the guests. The D20’s are great, but require more investment since there’s a long story, and that intimidates me so I like the more self-contained shows. @samreich
The Dropout community on Blahaj isn’t dead but it’s not super active. There is a post there about the new episode of Game Changer!
I don’t think my instance is defederated from much, we’re tiny, but my view of the community via blahaj has a newest post 10 months ago. If I go there directly, I see more posts. My instance block list doesn’t contain lemmy.blahaj.zone. Anyone know why I can’t see current posts?
What else am I missing?
I’m not sure, but I can see your comments/posts, so federation is at least partly working.
Can you see the link here? https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/42882833
I can. Clicking that link redirects me a few times, but results in an unauthenticated view of blahaj.zone, so I couldn’t comment without making a blahaj account
I’m myserv.one, so my view is via https://lemmy.myserv.one/c/dropout@lemmy.blahaj.zone
It had a newest post of 10 months ago as of when I looked yesterday. It now has many more, so I can tell federation is working. Probably just with a delay, and maybe because I subscribed instead of just looking at it. I’ll have to go revisit some other communities that I thought were dead, but might be active if I join them…
My poor server admin. With storage prices these days…
Oh yeah, federation mostly pulls threads based on if someone on your instance is subscribed to a community, so that makes sense! I hope you find more communities that you enjoy!
I loved the season opener. It was hilarious having actual lawyers judge how bad it was and Mommy Standards and Practices was well done.
If a community doesn’t exist you can make one.
I think part of my problem is that there are communities that already exist, and some of them I can’t see, and the ones I can might not be sync’d to my instance.
Federation and decentralization has its pros and cons.
I think contributing to existing communities seems like the best option. Also, evangelizing the community in other places so people are more aware of it helps too. Luckily, that’s exactly what this post (kind of) does.
For example, I didn’t know there were dropout Lemmy communities. I just subbed to the blahaj.zone one.
The problem is that there isn’t a Dropout community and the equivalent Nebula community is rather dead.
So…
On Make Some Noise, there are occasionally ‘fan submissions’ for prompts. Where does that happen? I figured there was a secret forum I was just unaware of.
My guess is reddit, sadly, but if there’s some more official place and I just haven’t found it, I need to know.
If the official unofficial place is reddit, we need to push everyone to one of the communities here.
I dropped a post in the lemmy.world one, because I think it might have a larger potential audience, since .world was like the semi-default instance when I joined lemmy. Now I need to learn how to crosspost so I can share to other instances.
Ask-lemmy-v2: Does crossposting link comments? If someone sees a post in lemmy.blahaj.zone and I’ve crossposted from lemmy.world, are the post mingled or isolated?
I’d rather solidify on a single community if the commentors can’t see each other.
Asking for a friend.
