The comments timed out twice for me before it would load on Jerboa. That’s just perfect. 👌

Welcome and thank you for joining. :)

I am brand new to this platform, so if you have any tips or advice or a guide or anything, lol, it would be very much appreciated!

Just the once, for the Rewatch on the sub. We flew through the whole series in anticipation of Mike Schur’s AMA. :)

If there’s interest maybe we could do a communal Rewatch on here once all the dust settles. What do you think?

Yeah, unfortunately the site as a whole got taken over by some of the worst parts of the internet almost as soon as Saidit opened. That’s what you get when you market yourself as a free speech platform—people always want to push the limits, be as offensive as possible, see what they can get away with.

The WOTB Saidit is pretty much at parity with what you’d see at r/WayOfTheBern, though. Most of the mods have moved over, and they’re running their Saidit the same way they ran their sub: i.e., You can express whatever opinion you like, but if you prove to be a horrible troll repeatedly, you’ll have to pay the turtle tax.

Their Saidit is currently being brigaded by idiots who don’t know what the turtle tax is, which is why it may look pretty shitty right now.

Anyway I’m hoping they all give lemmy a shot, as I think the Fediverse with its inherent protections against corporate tyranny is right in line with WOTB’s philosophy.

Glad to see at least some of the WOTB people are already here!

Also in case you’re not aware, WOTB has a mirror on saidit here: https://saidit.net/s/wayofthebern

Look out for affixes. For example, the past tense of most verbs ends in -ed. And many words also begin with the prefix de- so if you’ve got a d, that’s a decent place to start building your solution around.

Ditto for s, which is the most common plural suffix.

My personal strategy is to first take stock: How many vowels and liquids (L & R) do I have; are there any weird consonants to manage? (Q, W, Z, X, V)

I try to get as many of the difficult letters as I can in my first word, then build the second word out of the easier leftovers. The anchor letters (S & D as described above, among others) are key to connecting the words.

Welcome!

Lemmys use the /c/ as a divider, so I think they’re just called communities.

Nope, you’re dead!

Or digital, anyway…

Have you ever watched random episodes out of order?

I do that with Community occasionally, and it definitely holds up. I haven’t tried it with TGP though.

Very good idea, and I absolutely want to do that, I just don’t know how!

Does Lemmy have a rules wiki? CSS support? Anything analogous to AutoModerator? Scheduled posts (if we decide to do a Rewatch here)?

I am a total noob, so if there is some kind of guide around here please send me a link.

Okay, thanks for the info. I appreciate it. :)

Your dog is so cute! Seems to love Jason, too. A kindred spirit.

Reminds me how Michael had Jason play fetch when he needed that 30 second break…

Without NSFW, does it show the actual words for you in the thumbnail? On both my phone and my computer it doesn’t, it just shows the letters with the zigzag pattern. I only see the answers when I open up the full image.

NoNot that I know of. But on my phone at least the thumbnails are so small it doesn't give away the answer. Let me know if it's different for you.

Using NSFW is a clever workaround! If it becomes an issue we could all just use that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay never mind, I’m a moron.

It only wiped everything for me because I didn’t have NSFW enabled! 🤦‍♀️

So everything is working normally, you just have to enable NSFW in your personal settings to view the community now. I’ll edit the sidebar to make that clear.

You know on Lemmy I find myself cruising the main page more than anything. It’s actually fun without the bot spam and algorithm shenanigans that ruined r/All on Reddit years ago.

Also a good way to find new stuff you never considered before. Lmk if you find anything neat, too!

Thanks for the report!

Alright, well until there’s some predictability in how blurs are handled, I guess the safest bet is to manually NSFW everything. Oof.

I set the whole sub as NSFW!

So Lemmy probably thinks we’re a porn sub now, lol. And I assume the default behavior would therefore be to blur everything.

Which it is in the browser, as far as I can tell, but the apps are still pretty inconsistent. So for the time being, I think the safest course of action is just to manually porn-flag everything. -.- Not an ideal solution, but the best we can do until Lemmy gives us spoiler post flairs.

Jerboa stopped working for me altogether! Don’t know why, but it crashed on startup, over and over. So now I’m on Connect, too. :)

It wouldn’t let me go to this community for the same reason, but I found a work around by searching your name, then going to post history and accessing the community that way.

😂

Lemmy’s navigation and UI in general could definitely use some work, but the way you’ve managed to get where you wanted in spite of that is impressive!

ITA on Lemmy’s community being more like what the Internet was supposed to be than the hellscape Reddit has become. I’d switch over full-time if I hadn’t made commitments over there. -.-

What happened to your original account?
