I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there’s a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I’ve blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.
But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy’s, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country’s Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?
Even when I was still on Reddit, I needed a friend to explain to me that Funko Pops don’t do anything - you just have them.
So really I think it’s just me.
Hahaha yeah Funko Pop collectors are so weird right hahahaha

Yes, lemmy is so small sadly.
Hmm… maybe? But I’m ok with it. All those things in your second paragraph are things I’d never care about anyways.
It’s not like Reddit stopped existing. Lemmy will (hopefully) never be Reddit. That means that some itches Reddit will still have to scratch.
I specifically came here because I was uninterested in the pop culture chat that I was seeing in my socials. I want to talk to more people in less mainstream nerd culture
I would probably subscribe, as I love collecting and discussing all kinds of random events.
Youtube has been my main source for this stuff since I left reddit for good. I really went deep into Kanye/Drake since it was still considered a rap battle.
I watched hours of the Sean Combs development.
Mr Beast drama has been a big part of my entertainment as well.
And while my Youtube feed is usually sports free, I couldnt escape the Donçic transfer.
I dont watch TV or streaming services, so this is my entertainment before going to bed. Giving me world-politics that late just keeps me awake.

This shit was/is RIDICULOUS. I dropped off of it because life got busy but man…Youtubers were a mistake…
Yeah, it was tough to stay to the facts and not get sucked into an endless self feeding loop of beast Drama.
You want to be on a bigger instance, like Lemmy.World. Always room to grow, but closer to what you’re wanting these days
Yeah, but every time I hear about celebrity shit it’s fucking stupid and it pisses me off so I consider missing it a good thing.
We did have a Luka to the Lakers over on [email protected]
Just saying.
I’m exclusively on the fediverse, I don’t feel disconnected from pop culture at all. There is a lot of politics and meta discussion, I’ll give you that
Subscribed, thanks! I searched NBA on the global community search and got nothing, I wonder if it just wasn’t federated on my instance yet.
I wish I was there losing my mind with the rest of you last week
It’s hard to figure out why some communities show up and others don’t on the search. It’s definitely a good idea to subscribe to [email protected] and other communities like it to make sure you don’t miss them when they come up. I think someone was working on a better search for Lemmy but it seems to be abandoned
Thank you, I couldn’t remember the latest community address when typing out my reply
Got to be the change brother. Start posting stuff. I’ll read it.
I think this is a problem with the Fediverse in general.
Search Kendrick Lamar on BlueSky and it’s filled with people celebrating it, breaking down different aspects of the show, and making memes. Search the same on Mastodon and you get news articles about the show and the occasional personal post. A majority of the posts have 0 engagement on most of the posts.
I think that’s more mastodon’s flawed search than anything. Cause it’ll only look for the specific term, so if someone don’t use Kendrick’s full name, it’s not gonna show up. Or if you look by tag, you won’t see much anything cause no one tags half their stuff
That definitely hinders discoverability. My feed is basically a depressing mix of climate change and politics.
Yes, the search is bad on the microblogging side of fedi
There’s indeed only one post on [email protected] with 25 votes and 0 comments
I’ve been way out of pop culture loop even before I started using Lemmy.
I mean, post the content and people will come? I think a lot of people would have commented on these things if they saw the thread
This is true, but 1) It’s hard going from a passive consumer of a community to a facilitator of discussions (I have anxiety issues lol) but also 2) It’s hard to even know/find if there’s a community TO post in, you know?
Maybe I’m just a Lemmy noob after almost two years here, but I do find community discoverability harder here, and there’s always discussions of fractionating communities even further. I don’t want to risk creating a new community, take up server space that my instance host generously provides, and then find out it was redundant.
I do find community discoverability harder here
helps a little if they have close to standard names
I used to interact with people from my country on reddit
Because of that, along with me not watching/reading romanian news, i miss big events like the country being invited to schengen
Wouldn’t that be at least on [email protected] ?
Yes, it was. It was all over lemmy for several days.

If [email protected] can do it, your interest can too
