Linking communities in posts feels hard to do (sopuli.xyz)
 

I have wanted to link a community a couple of times, but didn't because it seems unclear how to do it actually well. I've managed to do it once, I think. Another time didn't manage.
Maybe there should be a clear and simple to use button in the format area to add a community link?

Community subscriptions pending unclear (sopuli.xyz)
 

I have pending subscriptions for several days now, and I can't seem to find any information what has caused this or if this problem is something that is up to me as an user

Posts appearing at the top when scrolling through "hot" on all (sopuli.xyz)
 

When looking at posts from "all", after a while suddenly the top of the post queue starts loading in new posts. These posts seem to be very old with little activity. Is this a bug or some functionality I'm misunderstanding? This seems to happen both when sorting "hot" and "activity" is selected

Should there be a place to gather Lemmy confusion to help both make FAQs and further development? (sopuli.xyz)
 

I initially thought about just making a community for this, but figured that would get completely lost, so I opted to post here.

I have been able to get a bit of a ground under my feet here, but still have many things that just confuse and puzzle me out. Now that there are droves of first impressions made, it feels like some really important and interesting UI / UX data is lost if common problems and weirdness isn't collected. This could be both a good exercise in solving individual quizzes and making a database for possible future UX development to mine through.

Anyways, I made the community !lemmyconfusion!lemmyconfusion@sopuli.xyz

I got tired of being sloppy chunking out power chords and generally being really stiff when playing fast rhythm guitar, so a couple of weeks ago I decided to start working on a couple of Iron Maiden songs through Rocksmith, building up the speed and consistency in rhythm guitar.
So far I think I've got some pretty good results already, although most songs aren't really clean at full speed yet. Rocksmith seems to be a really good platform for this kind of practice, since it makes looping sections at slower speeds so easy.
Currently I'm psyched about Rime of the ancient mariner, it's got such a nice combination of medium-speed gallop and single note lines. Be quick or be dead and 2 minutes to midnight main riffs also make me feel awesome

I figured to spark some discussion by asking what kind of projects and foci you are currently working on to improve your playing?

I like this significantly better than Mastodon in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

I'm even a little suspicious that Twitter style messaging has played a part in "gotcha" politics that seem very popular everywhere, where some populists manage to gather a large following mostly by just using slick one-liners with relatively little substance.
Now sure, these have always existed and will likely exist, but I seem to see more and more of them with ever bigger popularity.

I know it got me a bit, I used to browse subreddits dedicated to twitter owns, but realised that those were reeeally bad for me.
