It’ll be huge in the context of Lemmy, despite only representing a small percentage of Reddit’s total userbase.

Yeah. I’ve been using vidplay.org lately

Amazing! So many features that people have been requesting. Really impressive release 🫡

Great news, he was absolutely terrible

Damn, that sucks. He was off to a pretty nice start too.

It’s amazing to think about the numbers he’s going to end up with at the end of his career, and yet people will still be imagining what could have been if not for the injuries and the fact that the Angels wasted his entire career.

Yeah I feel you, at least the Orioles team is super stacked rn though (speaking as a Yankees fan 🫠). !yankees@fanaticus.social is equally dead.

My current thought process is that if we can get a decently active generalized baseball community going, it could provide a stepping stone to increasing the activity in the team-specific communities. I’m trying to be active on !mlb@lemmy.ml and !baseball@fanaticus.social as much as possible.

There is already a latent population of sports fans on Lemmy, but it’s sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy that the communities aren’t active so people assume there must be no other fans.

My other thought on this topic is that although I do miss the active fan discussion and game threads, the subreddits for essentially all of my teams were indisputably toxic cesspools. The whining, armchair GMing, scapegoating, and just completely idiotic takes were out of this world. So it’d be nice to have activity, but too much activity can also degrade the quality of discussion to the level of Twitter and just create a very toxic environment where fans are constantly arguing and complaining.

🤌🤌🤌

PieFed! That’s the only other threadiverse project I know of.

Thank you for doing this. It’s really helpful for users like me who are intimidated by GitHub.

Dont require leading ! or @ for webfinger resolve looks particularly exciting.

Thanks for the lead 👍

Damn, nice! I’ll let you know if an invite comes my way, sounds like you would get better use out of it than me

If anyone has invites to a decent tracker, hmu.

Just shamelessly begging, I haven’t been on a private tracker in over a decade but I should probably step up my game again with the way that streaming services are headed.

My previous experience was that I was completely incapable of maintaining a decent seed ratio on my home connection. I felt that many users were using seedboxes with really high upload speeds and hogging all the seeding. But I still felt it was quite a valuable community because, as people have already mentioned, the organization and quality of the torrents is infinitely better. So I basically used it sparingly for stuff that was hard to find. They also had a bunch of free-leech torrents that didn’t affect your ratio, which was a really nice feature. Honestly can’t remember the name of the site though.

Tragic. The UI was so clean

I was thinking that you would need increasingly beefy motors and cables/cranes as the size of the rocks scales. But for a reservoir, you could use the same pump over a longer period of time to store much more energy. It’s also easy to utilize a body of water with a volume much greater than the volume of a vertical cylinder.

That’s a miniscule amount compared to PSH facilities, whether it’s 2 MW capacity or 2 MWh storage.

It’s a cool concept but practically seems limited to niche applications due to the small capacity. Granted it is a prototype, but it also seems intuitive that pumping large amounts of water would be more efficient than moving solid blocks of heavy material for a gravity battery design.

I like communities and sublemmies.

Coms/commus sounds forced and unnecessary, doubt it’ll catch on.

As for Lemmies, I think that should be a synonym for instances/servers. So, for example, the biggest Lemmy with the most sublemmies would be lemmy.world.

And of course, the users are lemmings.

Tremendous news! Looking forward to exploring all the new changes and improvements

Can confirm that Gamer’s Nexus and Optimum Tech are absolutely superb. You can tell those guys are doing it for the love of the game. LTT is vacuous in comparison.

Xcretions. It must be stylized

Except for the ones that actually succeed. They become the opposite of Robin hood when they succeed.
