I threw in $10. I've definitely gotten that much use out of Loops so far, even in beta. Here's hoping it takes off like Pixelfed did 🀞

That means you're Butterfly Treg

Try Tesseract:

You can use the hosted version with any instance, or self-host it

Minnesota used to have the best ones, they were super bendy to the point where people in other states often thought they were fake. Unfortunately they don't make that kind anymore, due to new federal regulations

Ah, makes sense. I assume the picture was just put/taped in there, maybe @estranho@lemmy.ca can answer

I'm not saying that leaving an instance unblocked means you're in favor of them, to be clear. My response was only addressing the issue of achieving a "normie" experience.

Kind of a silly question, but asked honestly: How much do you think the name "communick" matters when trying to convince "normies" to try it out? Would they see that, read it as a play on "Communist", and assume it's only for extremists or whatever?

At a minimum, you'd want to find an instance that blocks lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net. lemmy.world already blocks both of those though. The next instance you'd probably want to block is lemmy.ml, which not many other instances do. beehaw.org does, but also blocks lemmy.world, which cuts out a lot of the threadiverse.

If you felt like it, you could explain how to do instance blocking on your user profile. That might be too much for people that don't really care either way and just want stuff to work, though.

@Blaze@feddit.org might also have opinions on this, having spent a lot of time over on Reddit convincing people to try out Lemmy

Thanks for the correction!

Some background on this comic:

Transcript:

In a Danish book version of The Far Side, the caption on this cartoon was changed from "Louie, Louie" to "Singing in the Rain."

My only guess as to why they did this was that "Louie, Louie" was more a national hit than international and the song just didn't register with the Danes.

And, for all intents and purposes, "Singing in the Rain" is pretty funny.

Anyone from Denmark around to comment?

Thanks for posting! If you're up for it, want to crosspost to !loops@lemmy.world? That's a good community for discussing the project itself. This community is more about posting the videos, though it's NBD either way.
