I am the founder of a community that, I believe, is unique on the Internet. Probably, because it is a niche subject area within the academic field of humanities....

What do you do (either in your country/culture or as a tradition with your family/friends) to celebrate or mark this time of year?

It’s night and it’s dark, so no lights which means no books. No wifi or PC. Gotta save phone battery so no phone. Also it’s so damn hot I think I’m gonna melt.

Here in WA state, the minimum wage per hour is $15.74 (higher in some areas). Tipping culture says 20%, but that’s generally to support lower paid waitstaff in areas that can pay less than minimum wage by employers. Where/What are you tipping and what kind of service would you expect for a 20% tip?

Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays and the costuming is no small aspect of that to me....

Basically the title. I’ve been thinking of checking out Mastodon, and I’d like to get opinions on which instances are great. I’m mostly just looking for something like Beehaw. That is to say, a chill and friendly place that’s at least decently active....

it’s been happening for two-ish months now and idk how to figure out if it’s a me problem or a beehaw problem

Please answer the why part. Why should I watch your favorite movie?

I’ve used both Apple Music and Spotify in recent years and while their discovery is okay, it always plays it safe. As if they’ve made a genre that is just for me and won’t play anything outside of that. How do I expand my music horizons?

The best simple black business socks that don’t show the first gaps and then holes after a few weeks are…? Help me out here, please. I’m still desperate. Everything I buy is rubbish.

Hi Beeple!...

Hi,...

Not the bad porn script you were expecting, I swear. 🙃...

Hi all! I’m a big fan of comfortable shoes and I’ve been wearing eccos for years now. However I’ve recently come to realise that they cannot be repaired (something to do with the material there made from)....

I was talking to my friend how much I’ve been craving lobster 2 days ago. They now have lobster at my grocery store - they haven’t had lobster in years. Last winter I was talking about how much I like goose over Turkey for Christmas dinner and suddenly they had frozen goose and they literally never had goose before....

Someone linked a site once (on Reddit) and I didn’t bookmark either the post or the site :( but it was great - you used a sliding scale if I remember correctly for how much sun, wind, rain, snow, etc. close to ocean, mountains, etc. and it grayed out states and areas within a state to show you the remaining cities/areas that...

Only ever had experiences with Reddit, Lemmy and very little bit of Discourse.

My city used to have a great costume & theater supply shop, but it went under several years back. I’m trying to work out ideas for a Halloween costume, but I’m struggling to think of a good e-comm site for such things (better quality than your Spirit Halloween type places.)...

I’m new to Lemmy....

I just realized the darkly theme i was using doesn’t make hyperlinks a different color, and that was too confusing. Also I’m just curious what the split is!
