I really miss r/onebag, and c/onebag has almost nothing going on.

Oh yeah that's a great community, it was pretty lively til @[email protected] disappeared a couple weeks ago, I hope they all right.

Hi @Rolando ! Yeah I hope so too, hopefully they are just on holiday or something. I'm trying to keep up posting there, Arotrios posted in @worldwithoutus when I was on a break.

How is your NaNoGenMo going?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmmm.... I haven't posted a NaNoGenMo "intent to participate" yet... How about you?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Rolando I can't code, so NaNoWriMo is more my speed (not doing that either this year, because I have too many committments this month).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, I hope your commitments don't get too stressful!

If you ever want to learn to code, NaNoGenMo is a good excuse to do so!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Rolando thanks, that's a good idea. I literally haven't written code in over a decade though (except the odd bit of css modification) so it would be a steep learning curve!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, learning to code something that prints out a novel-length piece of text is easy. Just find an interactive tutorial like learnpython.org.

For example here's how to print things.

Here's how to print things multiple times. So now you can print a string several thousand times to make a novel-length text.

My cousin did NaNoGenMo when they were 14, they basically just had a list of names, a list of verbs, and a list of adverbs and the text was several thousand iterations of "NAME VERB ADVERB." I think they used a free replit account, but they might have locally installed python. DM me if you get stuck.

@Rolando cool, thanks, will try it sometime!

Like others I mostly miss the discussions in my old niche hobby subs. Luckily a lot seem to have communities here, they just need more participation.

[email protected] and [email protected]. I really want some more activity for CK3 and grand strategy on Lemmy like there is on Reddit. Oh plus my daily mander.xyz shout out.

I'm going to shamelessly plug the community I just made for Ambigrams.

[โ€“] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was kinda hoping to come across any r/watchpeopledie like communities. Didn't come across any.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I'm glad. Never understood why people go searching for such morbid stuff

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's more of a "learn from other's mistakes" kind of thing for me. I've seen a lot of videos of people doing stupid shit and it being fatal.

Especially in terms of driving. That sub made me a whole lot more aware and conscious of my decisions as a driver. To not indulge in careless choices. It seems like a morbid way to learn a lesson, but when you see the after math - the lesson really sticks.

Fair enough
