With streaming the way it is, I would stop the chopping up of stories and start telling them in a new way. Shows are longer now and the quality difference is minimal, so just film and tell the story. Sitcoms and the like I get doing episodes but I think it’s time to review how stories are dispensed visually

What about the folks that like playing multiplayer games solo? I enjoy the busyness/fullness of people running around the world and having small interactions, while getting into groups only when really necessary for content or items.
Greetings, I am looking for a epub/pdf reader similar to Marvin 3, that I can connect to my calibre server. It appears my Marvin was offloaded and it is no longer available. Would prefer free of course but don’t mind paying for a good app…no subscription. Foss would be great. Any other suggestions are welcome.

How about, instead of calling people bootlicker, we suggest the person reevaluate their position and give them a chance to adjust their perspective. People tend to entrench themselves in their opinion when attacked. There isn’t any excuse for a person to lose their freedom because another wants to “make a point”. Sorry not poking anyone deliberately, just the dozenth or so post I’ve read that has been aggressive rather than educational. Lemmy is supposed to be better, we can keep it better together. Have a good day
so title, as in if you had 50 acres and planted trees, fixed ponds and water ways, etc. would this allow more humidity, promote snow...? like a micro climate?

I’m so torn on this. Huge fan of the original, but excited to see what they do with it. Hope it comes out good.
Looking for an app/extension/website that can take all my YouTube subscriptions and play them oldest to newest, not by channel but in entirety. Appreciate any assistance/suggestions

It’s called mix now
Every few years or so I run into something that triggers nostalgia with MUDs, I used to play Achaea, and Dark and Shattered Lands using Zmud client. It was fun, but re-entry is a lot of work with scripts and maps. Any that are still active (without being fully scripted)? here's a quick top list if anyone is curious https://www.topmudsites.com/ https://www.achaea.com/

If you want a community with training wheels and is open to general discussions, come say hi. Its a place where you can work past the fear of being downvoted or insulted. You are welcome here. 😀
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/bbses
Just stop by and say hi? I think we are all here for our fond memories of forums, BBSes and other small communities. And I have been seeing a lot of movement on the all feeds about “the site that shall not be named” (that is so much harder to type then Reddit), or how less or more toxic lemmy is (done this myself), even a thread on how older lemmy adopters are annoyed with how redditors are “changing” lemmy. A solid point was made that, if we like slower content or a less toxic environment, then these federated services are made to help you do that. So in that light I have been taking steps to help lemmy be more of what I envision it to be. A place with oodles of information and some small places with friendly avatars…yes I said oodles. Once again I welcome you, and offer this community as “our space”. Soooo… I had an ok day, did the work things, and made it home to the family. However, my wife’s car AC decided it had worked long enough and retired. It is very hot here right now. So being the husband I am (masochistic but suffer very LOUDLY) I swapped vehicles with her. It was a small thing and my drive is shorter. But for the love of whatever you hold dear, THE STATE. garbage in passenger floor, check. Unidentifiable sludge on carpets, seats, cup holders, and handles, check. I had to take a lunch break and get cleaners for my sanity. Don’t get me wrong, I throw things on the floor and spill stuff…but I clean it up…moderation in everything. So I get home and say hi, then with an air of superiority I showed her what I had done (all proud and chest puffed out) by saying go sit in your car. She of course said “No, it’s hot in there”. We proceeded to argue for 2 minutes (the nice kind. come on…why…cause I want to show you something….sigh…fine). She gets in the car and looks, for not a long time but long enough where in your head your like…OMG, and realizes I cleaned it. She smiled and got out, gave me a kiss and took my youngest to their back to back activities while I sit on my couch typing this comfortably to strangers. I love my wife, she is a better person then me…sometimes ;) Tl;dr Say hi and read a blurb where I acted smug while my wife did the actually hard work. I love my wife.
If you have an idea you think would make this adventure better, feel free to suggest something. I’m keeping it deliberately vague to allow maximum creativity so keep suggestions in that theme. Thanks for participating!

Sorry to poke my head in here, but if you could point me in the direction on how to communicate better with my 16yo son who is “high functioning?” On the spectrum? He’s into “gangsta lifestyle?” But anyways there’s too much to unpack. I support him and love him, and I think he knows it but I’d like to be able to help him more. All the ? Marks are because I’m not sure of the terms or if they offend, I’m just trying to ask for help. Thank you

In my move over to lemmy I got nostalgic for how some older things were done, what you might be talking about are FAQs for specific topics like we had in the Usenet days. If this interests you, I have a new community started for collecting and creating those kinds of things. Not much there yet but I’ll grow it over time and would love for others to contribute.
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/faqs
And a shameless plug for my other community https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/bbses
Saw a post that mentioned Netscape Navigator , blast from the past. I remember it being so cool. [wiki - Netscape Navigator](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator) Edit-autocorrect
 I'd like to make this flow a public document, as a visual aid to crowdsource putting pieces together for a community server. the big pictures is a few projects, public and private and will hopefully allow others to follow and create their own as we go. I'd like to collaborate on what would be a solid system that a single or small group could put together and duplicate. Every aspect should be discussed, debated, and voted on. Best practices adapted and short comings pointed out. I'd like it to be open source and integrate together in some fashion. We can break into fine details over time. This is a long term hobby project, not an all in one weekend project. I think the first items to discuss are 1. Any Interest? 2. How to host this Flow - currently on [Github](https://github.com/Siathes/retro-community-workflow) 3. How to post the progress in segments so not a mega thread 4. Which flow software would work the best and give all people on all devices the ability to view/edit - currently on diagrams.net Items down the road - other Fediverse items to incorporate - Hardware to run it all - How to manage access so the community can all participate Posting a link to this in https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted as its probably in their wheel house as well

I'm sure someone will post the specifics of how to initiate a search and "link" your instances, I use a browser (mobile and PC) on the Lemmy site and click communities to see what's "connected/federated". In the interim as someone else also adjusting to the change, remember to give it time. Its a newer medium and most of us are just coming here flooding it. It will grow and improve and "connect".
I think we all have to get used to the withdrawal from being force fed SO much information and garbage that the fear of missing out and small quantities of content are creating cyclical anxiety. Am I doing this right? What am I missing? where is my content? Why is there not more content? Am I doing this right?...etc.
Good Luck, Welcome! and I'll save this message as well to come back and see if there has been a clear way described.
Looking for any input on title formatting for posting a FAQ and other ways to fill out the repository. Should we only have the mods of the communities able to poste their own FAQs or should we be able to post them ourselves. How do we stop duplicates etc. Brainstorm away, there are no stupid questions/ideas
Put your community link below. Anything that is a group of people sharing information
Any tips or advice on a guide that walks new people through retro communities? Something along the lines of, what older systems are still in use, which are seeing a resurgence, or have been adapted to modern needs. I’d like to brainstorm a way to help people connect and create the feel of the older systems with the options available from the fediverse. Where would you like us to go? This is a new community on a relatively new medium and your input/questions are appreciated.
Did you, run a BBS? Were you part of a close nit community? Remember the days of Phrack magazine, war-dialing and blue boxes? What about those awesome ansi art pictures? Tell us all about it! Share your stories and life lessons. This isn’t twitter so write a text wall if you want. But remember you are welcome here!

Thanks for joining and posting! Yes this shake up with Reddit has led me to rekindle the old love for the rough edge of free networks. I’m excited to try all the “new” options and explore some of the older options modernized. Possibly start a new bbs as well but with modern options to old systems. I also ran a bbs back in the day with other locals and even a school sanctioned one, right around the time “freenets” we’re becoming a thing and e-mail/Usenet we’re just taking off. Not sure, for now I’m enjoying the exploration!

Adding another link if there is any interest https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/faqs
If I'm going to post a FAQ I have no ownership on I might as well post this one
In the spirit of older small community sharing. If you’re uncertain, nervous, or curious about posting, just drop a reply in here. Doesn’t matter if it’s a hello world, test or an attempt to see formatting of text (maybe even ansi art). Just pop in and try it or leave your mark and go back to lurking. It’s all good stuff!

Welcome. I think the resurgence is some of us are bored with having a few major platforms regurgitate the same content and ads while gobbling up our lives as content. I personally miss the exploration of finding a new, open, and public service. Lemmy seems interesting, newish, and cumbersome enough that I’m excited to see how it evolves. It’s also rekindled my curiosity from the BBS days, the beginning of email and web browsers, when Usenet was full of FAQs and everyone wanted to share things they knew and were good at. They weren’t “better days”, things were hard to figure out, there are always bad actors, but it felt like a more tiered sharing to me. So like they always like to yell on large platforms, if you don’t like how the platform works/behaves create your own. So this is as good a time as any for us to create a new community the way we like it.
