This was super helpful, thanks!

Yup, probably all people cared about in that article. Just saving people time. No need to be a little bitch about it

Gkids indicated that it would give “The Boy and the Heron” a North American theatrical release “later this year.”

Any recommendations on how to start finding those communities of interest on Mastodon?

LanguageTool

I'll have to look into that. I've always liked the idea of Grammarly, but it seemed like I was basically downloading a keylogger, which seemed... unwise, lol.

Thanks! That's what I was doing, just wondering if there was some elegant solution I was mising.

Is there an easy way to search through all the kbin communities at once?

Yeah, that’s the unfortunate side of this.

I love the smaller community vibe, but I will admit it’s frustrating to have federation be sold as a huge advantage to users and then be cut off from like half the communities I was subscribed to in lemmy.world. They just have tons of communities that aren’t anywhere else because of how many users there are.

I get not wanting to create too many communities and have them all be empty. So that just means I have to make two accounts, along with my new Mastodon account, just to keep up with everything. Not ideal, but we’ll see how this plays out.

Edit: Reading this over, it sounds a bit more bitchy than I meant it to sound. Ultimately, I'm extremely thankful for the moderation.

Is it just because of some ad-blocker I have, or does specll checking not work in Lemmy?

If it's the latter, I'd love that addition for our clusmsier counterparts.

Same. It's really struck me both how little I miss it and how much I like the communities here. There's a much friendlier vibe.

And for the most part, aside from the bullshit threads where it's encouraged and expected, the comments are a lot more 'high-effort,' which is nice. That's something that I would expect to tend to naturally go down with the lowest common denominator as user count increases, but we'll see.

That's quite beautiful. They are, "each the other’s world entire." Although, I hope you say, "I love you" a bit more than pops did in The Road, lol.

Do you mean that it helped you cope with the flipside of joy and fear that comes with having a child?

I highly encourage it! I'm going to read All the Pretty Horses after hearing this news. Remember these final days before you meet one of the greatest literary characters I've ever encountered: The Judge.

Warning: It's a difficult book. Thankfully, I read it with a class that kept me honest. Don't feel any shame if you want to use something like LitCharts. You can use it without paying. That's how I am, at least. When I try reading a dense classic and it turns into a slog, if I get frustrated I'll just fall off.

However, I think its themes are important today and the questions it asks of the reader can lead to some serious growth and reflection.
