One last thing: how do I add stuff like whether the community is 18+? And I categorized a Reddit subreddit but the corresponding Fediverse community remains uncategorized. How do I fix that?

You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think “site:github.com fediverser”) and didn’t find you. I’m lucky you were here today.

I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says “Recommended Subreddit” and not “Recommended Community”.

Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended Subreddit Community, or if it’ll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).

You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

I’ll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I’ve seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.

Oh hey, on fanaticus.social! I discovered that a little while ago and I am glad people are putting sports communities on the sports instance. I understand the importance of decentralization and that it is good to have several communities about the same thing on different servers, but I first found an MLB community somewhere totally elsewhere than the sports instance, so it pleases me to see someone using the sports instance for sports. I like the idea of interest category instances, like how programming has programming.dev and lots of communities that have to do with programming (such as different ones for different programming languages, for funny stuff, etc.).

I don’t know much about the things your chosen communities are about, unfortunately, so sorry I cannot really help or post. Except…

A post on r/NFL that stuck with me was the one where they go through all the mascots and find out which teams have fewer fans than the thing they are named after, with count of fans guessed based off something like Facebook likes. Maybe I’ll do something like that but for college football. I also remember a video on YouTube ranking some kind of team (forget what sport) by how much their mascot would weigh. Although that might be a bit high-effort for someone like me who doesn’t have much interest in football. Now I’m thinking of that MLB post with the names of the MLB teams if they went by the name of the most common animal in their… region? home state? and spoiler alert it was all ants.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/good-question-bunny-hug-1.7125965 explains what a bunny hug is: a word for hooded sweatshirt that people from Saskatchewan use.

I think it’s out of Early Access, I checked its Steam page and see no “Early Access”. I got it and bounced off of it very quickly, maybe I’ll try again?

The content/users aren’t here so I’m stubbornly trying to post content and comment whenever I can.

Even if I shout into the void, or get a few upvotes and little other engagement.

Although I understand it’s not for everyone, I encourage you to help out with that ;-;

I love pictures of buns mid-hop

I thought you closed Fundamental, feeling it had come to an end. Replaying? (It’s possible I missed something because not all the weekly posts federated over to me.)

How does it compare to Magic Research 1? I was enjoying that but the dungeon combat portion turned me off. Especially because as far as I got (didn’t finish), you, the headmaster of a wizarding school, basically had to use a sword to win. Not exactly my magical wizard fantasy.

Started !citiesskylines@lemmy.ml, still playing Stardew Valley (I went up 100 hours in about a month!), and still slowly progressing on My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom -Pirates of the Disturbance- as I yell about on the !otomegames@kbin.run weekly threads. I have also been trying various !incremental_games@incremental.social, including a billion bananas and Squareixion.

For transparency, just a subscriber on most of those communities, but I do mod !otomegames@kbin.run.

Oh thank goodness, this post made it to me on time.

Started a billion bananas and ate a billion bananas. Not sure how interested I am in the game after that.

How/where did you learn PHP? I’ve been thinking of learning to try to contribute to Mbin.

I also know very little about networking.

Probably 2 or 3. Posting them for the benefit of people reading this:

Fun fact about buns #2: A bun’s ears are so powerful, they’re sensitive to radio & satellite signals! This enables them to watch TV with their minds!

Fun fact about buns #3: Buns are incredibly intelligent! So intelligent, that they’ve engineered for themselves rocket-booster shoes! This is what enables buns to hop very long distances!

Pretty out there but still distinctly connected to some known thing about rabbits.

Now that I think about it, I have not actually read Watership Down but I think I heard somewhere about its bunnies only being able to count to 4 or something. Fact #A feels like a fun move in the opposite direction.

Part of what makes me nervous about issue creation is if I’ll get asked for examples of the issue, because I don’t want my GitHub linked back to my Fediverse account.

I really should just go make another GitHub account so I can do this worry-free!

I love how the bun facts started out somewhat related to peoples’ ideas about bunnies and now they’re just way out in left field.

Hey, I remember your name from kbin.social and I have not seen you in awhile, nice to see you’re still up and kicking on the Fediverse.

I just lucked out. As soon as I figured out what I was doing I wanted off of the flagship instance to help with decentralization, went to kbin.cafe whose admin abandoned it so I went to kbin.run, and kbin.run happened to make the switch to Mbin.

I have seen a few people with both Mbin and Mastodon accounts. From what I have seen so far, Mbin can post to Mastodon and see some Mastodon posts, but it is… rough. Link posts not sending the body out, for one. Making a Mastodon post from Mbin goes correctly without a title and displays like a microblog on Mbin and Mastodon, but on Lemmy it makes a whole new thread for that microblog with the first few words as title. Until Mbin integration with Mastodon improves (and Lemmy integration with Mastodon too, because Mbin federates out to Lemmy too) I can see getting yourself a separate Mastodon account to talk with the much higher number of people there as well.
