Intro post

TL;DR: Linux community with an emphasis on content moderation to filter out newbie stuff. No grudge against Linux beginners, but the amount of same low-entry content on !linux@lemmy.ml can be tiresome to see.

A community for sharing comics related to programming (xkcd, monkeyuser, wizard zines, etc.)

I created this community as shrinkflation is getting really bad in Canada, especially in grocery stores.

This community is probably going to lean towards being Canada-centric, but shrinkflation posts from all over are welcome!

Shrinkflation is defined as a reduction in size or quality of a product, for a same or higher price for a given quantity.

From Wikipedia:

In economics, shrinkflation, also known as the grocery shrink ray, deflation, or package downsizing, is the process of items shrinking in size or quantity, or even sometimes reformulating or reducing quality, while their prices remain the same or increase. The word is a portmanteau of the words shrink and inflation.

[...]

Shrinkflation allows companies to increase their operating margin and profitability by reducing costs whilst maintaining sales volume, and is often used as an alternative to raising prices in line with inflation. Consumer protection groups are critical of the practice.

Shrinkflation is a rise in the general price level of goods per unit of weight or volume, brought about by a reduction in the weight or size of the item sold. The price for one piece of the packaged product remains the same or could even be raised. This sometimes does not affect inflation measures such as the consumer price index or Retail Price Index, i.e. it might not increase in the cost of a basket of retail goods and services, but many indicators of price levels and thus inflation are linked to units of volume or weight of products, so that shrinkflation also affects the statistically represented inflation figures.

Lemmy's own hub of creativity, our short story community is a literary playground, a space where storytellers converge to share their narratives, each tale waiting to captivate. Engage in the compact storytelling, explore diverse genres, and connect with fellow wordsmiths who appreciate the beauty of brevity.

!bare_knuckle_fighting_championship@sh.itjust.works

BKFC is the only group on Lemmy dedicated only to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

Want to promote our community before global anniversary starts on 16 January or later.
More active part is reddit arknights discord r/arknights discord invitation so if you want to chat with people who are still on reddit and people who aren't there anymore, this is where you meet them. Lots of activity there so if you have any game related questions someone will answer you.

Less active part is our Kbin magazine (community) at https://kbin.social/m/arknights or https://lemmy.ca/c/arknights@kbin.social /arknights@kbin.social .
Many people tried out but not many stuck with it and as there is no active communities dedicated to arknights, will try to keep our magazine up.

If you know any lemmy community dedicated to arknights then I would really appreciate if you point me to some.

I'm the creator of the community (since it wouldn't exist otherwise).
It has already lots of topics/threads even though it's next to a ghost town 😅

We have a small but dedicated user base. The community has daily posts to share your shave of the day (SOTD) so you can easily see what other people have been using. Other posts are allowed, like mail calls, reviews, or any other interesting shave content.

Yes, we really enjoy shaving that much!

!likethismaylike@lemm.ee

Inspired by the response to my post the other day on AskLemmy@Lemmy.ml.

This is a community for sockpuppets reenacting events

The event can be anything, including historical, fiction, or stories personal to you.

The format can also be anything, including:

• Real sock puppets
• Quick doodles on a napkin
• Photoshop
• AI generated content
• Your old sock posed in an interesting way

Just include a sock in the post and you should be fine 🧦

Links:

• !sockpuppetsociety@lemmy.ca
• /c/sockpuppetsociety
• universal link via. lemmyverse.link

So this little community started from a joke comment on a post about how communities here are often Lemmy versions of communities on other platforms. That's totally ok, but we thought some originality might be nice and ran with that random joke comment.

Now that the community is growing, and I have a better idea of what the community can be, it's time to promote it 🥳🧦

Links:

• !recall@reddthat.com
• /c/recall
• lemmyverse.link/c/recall@reddthat.com

A place to post product recalls. Recalls can be national or local, even just one store down the street. Nor are they limited to one country, if a product is declared unsafe by the government or the maker, share it here.

!jrpg@lemmy.zip

A community for posting memes and humor relating to linux

Yes this community already exists on lemmy.world but not all of our federated instances are federated with world (e.g. beehaw) so this provides an alternative community

Links:

• !linux_memes@programming.dev
• /c/linux_memes
• @linux_memes@programming.dev (kbin)

Community for posting any moments where software unpredictably malfunctions to do something it was not intended to do

Links:

• !software_gore@programming.dev
• /c/software_gore

I'm setting up the first round now. Please join early, so you will be notified when we start.

You can also make your own game in addition to the community wide one.

How to play?

Until we get a Fediverse version of this, you will need a Spotify account. I can't fix this unfortunately, it's up to the MusicLeague people to fix this.

• Every week, there will be a prompt. You will need to pick a song based on that
• The next week, everyone will assign points anonymously
• Enjoy finding new music and reading comments until we get to the end of the game
• The user with the most points will win something (like our admiration)🏆

official user guide: https://musicleague.com/user-guide/

Join us at the front gate to welcome new users into Lemmy, and to the Fediverse as a whole!

Links:

• !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
• /c/newtolemmy

I'm hoping this community will encourage new people to do things like the following:

• share what you're looking for, or what you want to do. We'll help you find it
• Ask questions! The Fediverse is new to most people. If you're unsure about something, others are unsure as well.
• Just smile and wave, maybe someone will wave back 👋

I searched around for a bit and didn't see a community for this purpose, so I made this one.

If you have suggestions, have resources for the new users, or want to help moderate, let me know!

A community for posts that make you think you had a stroke.
