Well, I just made hobbit.world and intend to only have Tolkien related communities there. So block away if that’s not your thing. However, the only way to block an instance is to defederate and that’s kind of harsh. Hopefully the feature of blocking communities by instance is added.

Actually, clicking those links actually works! Hooray!

I was under the impression that you were supposed to be able to search for “!hobbit_art@hobbit.world” in the community search bar and find things there. Now that I know it works, I’ve found that simply modifying the community url also works. So going to: https://lemmy.world/c/hobbit_art@hobbit.world actually jumps me right to it.

So, looks like it was already working. Thanks!

Awesome! I was hoping this would be possible. I plan to host my own instance hobbit.world and would need to migrate everything.

Also, I’ll defederate any corporate instances. No need to encourage bad actors.

Can you repair Curtas? I think there’s a niche market demand for that. I’d certainly want it if mine ever broke.

Walkabout Golf in VR. Simple enough for family members, but challenging even for gamers.

No different than email. That’s why domains should be displayed in clients for users.

Well then, I unironically want that!

Too much arguing in discussion forums and not enough relaxed fun.

Every user on threads has something in common. They were stupid enough to join threads.

I’m depriving myself of nothing by defederating that mess.

Can we use ai to judge emotional content of threads so I can get recommendations for threads where people are relaxed and happy?

Absolutely. Gonna set up my own Lemmy instance so I can defederate any corporate instance. If other people want to accept their smallpox blankets, that’s on them.

Whoa there! This is a thread for naming bad games. Satisfactory is an amazing crafting game. I didn’t get bored until level 8 when the amount of material required to finish just got insane. But it is the end of the game, so I understand why it’s like that.

BTW, of they ask why I’m in such a hurry, I’ll say I have a Brewster’s Millions situation and hope they’d seen the movie. We could relax after the deal was done.

Too many answers trying to game the system. Have fun with it!

If this was earlier in the day, I would drive to a pinball arcade that is maybe 40 minutes away, and offer them the entire million for every pinball machine they had. Hopefully the owner could be contacted and close the deal within the remaining 20 minutes.

I wish there would be time to buy a boat. I know nothing about sailing or maintaining a boat, but I would love to just drive to a marina and just get a 50 foot sailing boat.

Do different paints dry brush differently? I guess that’s kind of the same question. I’ll just have to experiment.

Biggest problem for me is finding other people enjoying my new hobby, at the same stage of learning, during the time period that I am into it.

I’ve been learning acrylic painting the last few weeks. I’d love to find a forum to discuss this while I’m still into it.

Seems extremely powerful to me. You can do anything that doesn’t get you killed immediately. It makes normal life impossible though. Actually, seems like a lot of interesting premises could come from that.
