Want to make a new friend? Come on in, let's have a chat over a cup of coffee
so cute!!!! shrimping marshmallow XP are they both from the same litter?
I hope this place will grow to become the next r/malaysia. F Spez and his antics.
Only just caved into my boycott of Reddit today to see if r/malaysia migrated. Really happy to see that we have!
I think will be a while lah before we get more traction here, but one less comment we make on Reddit, is one less piece of content they get.
I think it's fine if we don't get back to what we have like in r/malaysia, my experience from there is we can only see like a hundred of user commenting and then the 290k user is all lurker and never interact. Our highest post upvote is only around 4500, so around 98.5% of them couldn't even bother to upvote a post, let alone comment or make an og post. The sub might be big but if you post/comment a lot or interact in the daily thread, the sub is actually pretty small and rather tight-knitted
Yeah, I understand that. Though I think the value of spaces like this is also to curate quality news and resources, which is what I used Reddit for a lot.
I think there's a lot of good for having a space where people are sharing relevant and interesting news. Even if they're lurkers, it doesn't mean they're not part of the community I guess?
I dunno where I'm leading this point lol. Just that I think everyone, even lurkers have a place as part of the community. Not everyone is social, but I think r/Malaysia & r/Malaysians made it feel like everyone is welcome regardless, and I'd like that feeling to carry on wherever the community goes.

Paying my cat tax!
Tummy rub time!
Newcomer here, be nice to me pls
Ah you're here, time to rope you back into your old job.
Say no to unpaid labour!
Pay me with egg cartons first, then we will talk.
Hi 👀
No, you first.
Hey, I'm nice, I don't kidnap people, I promise
Hey nice, buy me a cup of coffee, thanks
Can2 I lalamove the coffee to u
hahaha you dont have those fancy reactions and emojis here leh hahaahahahaahahaha
Nvm, can still kacau you on Discord.
Hi! Yes here's the New World(or Vinland hehe)
honestly kinda like the empty look of this platform overall vs new Reddit/old Reddit's layout
yeah, it's a bit of a fusion of old and new reddit.
actually it kinda looks like the new new reddit, sh.reddit.com
I just saw @test@test@monyet.cc with a cool username, and like hell, this is a blue ocean for stupid usernames but i went and used my boring username.
You can grab the only one of common names like James or Ali or Chan or Muthu. Or silly ones like AutoAdmin. Or really difficult ones like _underscore_
go wild!
I don't think there's an outright best method, just what the goals of the platform are.
FB and Linked-in are tied to the IRL you, and you tend to watch what you say (or at least, monitor who are your friends).
4Chan is totally unregulated and you can be your weirdest self, but there's a very different kind of human contact because all the interactions never long term.
Reddit doesn't need your email or ID, and you can be your online persona. Some people have multiple accounts for browsing different materials, or discussing problems that they want to keep private from reddit friends.
Myself, I'm totally cool with people having multiple accounts etc.
You can do a throwaway email and all socmed won't know anyway.
i hate you
Oh this is cool, this formatting can do superscripts and subscripts.
Behold:
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
f(xi+1)=f(xi) + df/dx (xi) x (xi+1-xi) + 1/2 d^2^f/dx^2^ (xi) x (xi+1-xi)^2^ + ... = Σ[d^n^f/dx^n^ (xi) x (xi+1-xi)^n^/n!]
Right? Reddit have to do a lot to imitate a fraction of a good dev's power.
No.
WHERE PIC
Gaaah stalked all the way from reddit to monyet.cc!
I hereby offer this backlit shot of a pile of Japanese rice as tribute. May it appease the members here.

Image 1: Image is a digital photograph depicting short grain rice in a bowl. In the background are ceramic ware which appear to be japanese tea cups. The rice is backlit, and the rice grains are visible as translucent grains. The rice is topped with pink coloured granules of indeterminate origin, which appear to be seasoning/garnish.
Oh wow, can upload pic inside/among the text! That's nifty.
TIL unhedged is actually a pile of Japanese rice.
No one is going to comment on how we need a dark mode??
Why do you need a dark mode??
what. how. where.
Nooooooo sleepy, this would have been the perfect chance to get Unker to switch to light mode team.
ahh found it. my eyes are saved. thanks!
No because light mode > dark mode.
I commented on the post in Reddit but I'll comment here as well. Is there any way I can help with running the Lemmy instance? I am not an experienced dev yet(I suck at ops and support) but I would love to contribute in any way I can :)
Refugee camp round #2. LOL
Hopefully no need for round 3 and this newfound colony will thrive!
Yup, but who's paying for the server right now?
dcx very generously sponsored the domain and the hosting for the first year :D
Heard it's dcx
Hi~ hmmmm I think I know who you are leh hahaha you have pet catssssssssss right XD
hmmm....more like we discovered a new colony!
Pioneers lol
we need flairs!!
yes mod, flairs please!
Yesn't
Yes
!cafe@monyet.cc so this is tagging everyone in this community ?
Edit: it's like tagging a subreddit like r/aww
@solus test test @Annoyed_Crabby
Edit: can not
Edit2: People can register the same name but under different instances, eg @solus@monyet.cc @Solus@lemmy.world
@Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc @Annoyed_Crabby@lemmy.world how bout you?
Okay monyet got mentioned
Edit: world got mentioned too
Itsa working
Yeah, have to have the whole link to refer someone, but even then it doesn't shoq up on notification. Very odd indeed
So funny because my third party app does this, didn't know official app don't have this.
And you can preview your text, which Sync for Reddit have both this function while official app doesn't. The app dev team is really lacking the urgency of making these qol change, but they like shoving useless feature to people
Doubt it. They're pushing a newer version of reddit (sh.reddit.com)(heh, shreddit) so they will continue to neglect qol change and make it even more addiction based.
Hello from Lemmy.world!
Dude, this server is faster than world 😂
Easily la by a lot cos its much smaller, tho it can still get buggy due to software issues
Heh, sure thing dear
Can I watch?
can we all watch
Apa potong2 queue, get in the line pls
@unhedged just fyi, the msians who managed to berkampung in fediverse earlier tend to post daily makan pix under #MakanApaToday - if you click tag you shd able to see the posts. And feel free to use tooooo
deleted by creator
I almost wanted to ask mods if this Lemmy server is an exclusive club like discord, luckily I hold my impulse.
No lah, everyone is welcome!
You can actually use your earlier Lemmy account here like I did (mines from Lemmy.world), and I'm demonstrating with another account lol
wooooo looks interesting! Glad we could have this kind of dt type post again. Discord is so messy, me krai krai. Though gonna need sometime to actually get used and learn how to use this. Thanks mods for creating this. Though can post pics or not? My cats love attention.
Uuuu ok thanks thanks i'll let the website brew first muehehe
yes yes, share cat tax!!!
Yep, can can, click the pic icon and upload it there.
Also glad seeing you here!
Crab!! I went to Bukit Serindit Park the other day (been so long since i last visited ha ha), you and other redditors would have a lot of fun there if you guys hang out in Melaka again. Just saying.
:o
I thought that's a part of tun fatimah stadium, didn't know it exists 🙈
Thanks for recommendation!
It is, but in comparison to the time i went, it's a lot cleaner, organised and more activities. We tried the e-scooter and just circled around the whole park.

If you having problem registering an account, you can try register under different instances https://join-lemmy.org/instances.
I already digging the new environment here !
Yo!
Can't believe people still remember that cringe pun 🙈🙈
time to test it out. @Vintagen@monyet.cc
@Vintagen@monyet.cc not possible. it gives me the whole thing to pick when i wrote your name @
edit: POSSIBLE
I think it acts like a link, so the [] can be any text and the () is where it will lead.
Eg : solus
@Vintagen test
Edit: odd, it wouldn't show up for now
Yup,got
Whenever there's a new website brewing I always try to snag canon-media usernames lol. Siapa cepat dia dapat xp My username in r/malaysia is different... I'd say that I do frequent the sub often though
Good idea. Time to grab HerculePoirot.
woi
Ooooooh identity theft! hohohoho
hmmmm, now i sus you also!
that's the spirit. And yes, don't mind me, I'm Mohammad Luqman Farish, not Loid Forger.
I FINALLY downloaded the taobao app. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but the review and comment culture on Taobao is SO much better than on Lazada.
In general, Chinese product listings are quite dodgy looking and extremely posed. Sometimes I'd want to see how a certain driveshaft is set up for the kitchen mixer paddle, but the product shots don't show the kemaluan inside the mixing bowl.
The review photos and text however, are extremely informative. While there is still a certain confirmation bias (seeing the good you want to see in your investment/purchase), it is still a very good resource.
I had thought the main hurdle would be searching for products. Eg, if i want a pressure cooker and I don't know the name, do I need to use google translate, and copy the chinese word for "pressure cooker" into the search bar? Surprisngly no. You can type in English and it still shows the results that DO NOT have english names/listings. Seems the search function is built with a translation tool. Nifty.
if you can search in Chinese characters you can find still lower prices, and I use the photo search a lot too
now you're no longer lurking
Anyone have any idea how this work lol, i tried to search the community from another instance but it just didn't work, like i couldn't access woodworking@lemmy.ca via this instance but able to when using lemmy.world, i thought its federalised
Edit: it's working now
@Annoyed_Crabby how did you do your search? One way that's mostly foolproof is locate the full URL and copy then paste on the search bar of the instance you're logged into. Basically you shouldn't need to have another login
I straight use the link https://monyet.cc/c/woodworking@lemmy.ca from my other account , gimme 404, no dice, so i'm not sure what i've done wrong
Edit: aight i dunno which god do their work but i can find and subbed to it dy
use !woodworking@lemmy.ca in the search bar

No dice:x
Forgot to add, sometimes the full URL search is better if you suspect no one from the instance has subscribed yet (so the community isn't fully fetched even though technically in the federation) but once someone subscribes that instance should have it
Yeah...me too, me too😏
Nice.
Hi, I'm new here. 18/f shy
Sure bo? Don't catfish ya.
Finally we have come to monke
Is this the beginning of the end? Looking forward to see the community here grow.
Welcome to the Café!! Let's hope this is the beginning of a great community.
i was thinking "kopitiam" or "mamak" but ya know what that can be it's own thing, but every speaks BM there maybe!
kopitiam was on my mind when I made this but then I don't wanna accidentally associating ourselves with lowyat's kopitiam
that too! they ruined it >.>
Halloooo - actually i never really hung out on Reddit before this. Menyibuk because I'm more of a twitter person who moved to fediverse back in Nov lol
