I've had this happen quite a few times to me, and I've come to the best question for this.

"Do you want to just vent or would you like advice?"

Some people just need to get it off their chest and talk to something, IT professionals call this The Rubber Duck Effect, helps them work through the problem by explaining it to someone else. Asking if they'd like advice or just vent lets you know what kinds of questions to ask. You do still need to be listening but hopefully this helps!

As long as the masses don't all flock to just one server, the next time reddit fucks up it'll be a much softer place to land. The only problem is the niche communities and they're survivability when transferring over.

This really does feel like the early days of reddit. Where small, niche communities have to just keep plugging along until they hit a self-sustaining number of active users, and I didn't realize how much I missed that till I came here.

Yes! Was about to make this myself the other day! So glad to have this over here too just in case!

If you're looking for mods for this, I'm a former community mod from over there, left because life, and I'd love to hop back in over here.

Currently using this as it's impossible on mobile browser for me. It's nice and clean, but could definitely use some QoL features. Or I just haven't figured out navigating yet, either is possible.

I hate that this is where I'm at in life too. Hell, at least the mushroom cloud would be a quick death if you're close enough! Better than dying in the Water Wars or Mother Nature saying we fucked up.

Festivals where you're there for multiple days and seeing dozens of artists are the only thing I'd drop money like that on. One artist? Not a chance.

My only complaint is that it's way too short of a campaign. It's very easy to beat over a few hours, but it's fun the whole way through and I just want more.

You'll have to ask them yourself. We're not looking to spam the subreddit with ads for this place though, just be a potential landing site for if Reddit crumbles and authors are looking for a centralized home to post to.

Or, write your own! Best part about being part of something new like this is you can add your own stories and have them almost guaranteed to be read.

And it's not like we haven't let towns die before. There's so many along railroads in the middle of nowhere that just stopped existing because people didn't need to take trains everywhere anymore.

Shotgun applications to everyone in the field you want to go into, you might end up with your dream job, and know you can find something else should you not like the job you're in, but give it a fair shot before you decide to jump ship.

You can never have too many cat communities. Sounds like you found a niche to go with, just curate to that and eventually it'll fill up! Nothing better than a bunch of cats taking up my feed!

Was thinking of getting these for my car, can you explain how they make it easier to steal?

Nah, that ain't sad, I straight up made this the other night because it's comfort food for when I'm being lazy. Got my bowls and posted up in front of the TV and watched cartoons, best meal of the week.

Honestly, if we can somehow make a bot for that and have it working early, I don't see why we couldn't. Make it a poll that closes after 24/48 hours that then autosorts them into the genre in a wiki of some variety.

I'm all for it, but I'm not even remotely proficient at that stuff though so someone smarter than I would need to figure out that problem.

Edit: just remembered I was part of the mod team at that time. We were talking about 10s of thousands of posts, a lot of which were archived, that we would need to go back through and we didn't have the manpower for something like that. If we do it from the get go it should work fairly well.

Thanks for this. Went and read the whole thing and it's beautiful!

Ooo I like it, feels much more personal and homey!

Would love to see some rat races!

Chronic Wasting Disease

Well there's a rabbithole I wasn't expecting. Horrifying what those diseases can do and how much we try to avoid them.

Any and all genres are welcome! I, for one, was always craving more fantasy content over there, but they have a very sci-fi lean because of their origins so it was usually difficult to find.

I thought your username was the sub (is that what we're calling them here?) and was greatly confused by the cat picture for a second.
