Ah yeah, it's not possible on Mastodon either. Your content stays where it is.

I think it's even less of a problem on the Threadiverse than it is on Mastodon though. Most people are interested in new content here, we rarely go digging too much through the archives. Though it would of course be neat.

• Consider writing an introduction post. "Hello, I'm [this person], and I'm interested in [this and that]. I'll be posting about  [these things], and I'm passionate about [something]." Tag it #introduction, along with other tags relevant to your interests. Check out what other people have written in their introduction for inspiration. Pin the introduction to your profile. Personally I never got around to writing one, but I'm pretty sure I would have had more followers if I did.
• Write who you are in your bio - what can people expect if they follow you? Who are you? It doesn't need to disclose your true identity, but people follow other people on Mastodon, so it's good to make it look a bit personal.
• Tag a relevant a.gup.pe. The group will boost your post to all its followers, making your post visible on more instances even if you don't have followers there yet. If you asked this on Mastodon, you might for example tag @fediverse@a.gup.pe and @mastodon@a.gup.pe, though neither are unfortunately very big. At least your post is likely to get pushed to the largest instances, and some people who are interested might see it in their feeds.
• Throw in some relevant hashtags. Some Mastodon clients will hide them a bit if they're at the end of the post.
• Search for content, follow relevant people when you see them. It takes a bit of time, but gradually you'll expand your network and get momentum. If you're in a small instance, you might search for relevant hashtag at a more central hub (like mastodon.social) or a more specialized one (like sciences.social if you're into social sciences)

On Mastodon it's all about who you're following and who you're being followed by, so being able to move somewhere else and take your followers with you is a big deal.

On the Threadiverse we don't really follow users so much, so the whole concept of account migration becomes very different. Migration of communities rather than of users would probably be the best parallel - it would be great if subscribers could automatically follow a migrating community without having to manually resubscribe.

I guess it's also natural that subcultures that tend to be banned elsewhere are early adaptors of alternative platforms.

We're lucky we didn't exist when the Trump extremists on Reddit went looking for a new home, or they would probably have been one of the biggest fields in this figure. Hopefully when the right wing extremists arrive instance admins will have the good sense to defederate.

I guess PG-13 here means that creative control was taken by a board of suits, as its unlikely a fan of the games would have voluntarily opted for PG-13. So in that sense it's a red flag, even though I agree the ranking itself is not the problem.

Except Forrest Gump of course. But I this was never going to be Forrest Gump.

It's also just sad. Roles like these could mean a lot to actors in earlier stages of their career, who might actually fit the roles they are supposed to be playing. Instead it ends up being an embarrassing footnote in the careers of established Hollywood millionaires because the soulless producers wanted to create a cash grab.

I'm happy I don't care about this IP. It must suck for those who do.

(and some of us don't even use Lemmy - I'm on mbin and piefed)

For anyone unfamiliar, his machine which "loves, serves + protects life" is a reference to Woody Guthrie, whose guitar killed fascists.

[...] and now faces up to seven years in prison for performing a piece by Bach during a protest outside the headquarters of Citibank

...and the home of the brave.

It literally cannot, because nobody owns it. Which is why there's some confusion in this thread.

You've basically entered a public beach asking for the manager. Everybody's looking around a bit confused. That guy over there has been here all day, so maybe he would do? Or maybe that guy over there who has a beach blanket with a bunch of friends on it? That kid over there built a nice sandcastle, maybe he's the one you'd like to talk to.

It's not like the private beach over at Reddit. There's not one clear person in charge, and not one person can shut it down or change the rules for everyone else.

We have some people occasionally trying to poison the water, but we're getting better at expelling them before they manage to do too much damage.

I got my hands on a Dell USB C docking station for free, it's all good except that the power supply is missing.

Looking for a replacement I found the same docking station for sale cheaper than what I would have to pay for the cable.

Man, fuck Dell.
