Ah thank you. In fact now that I look at that, turns out I already commented on that issue in support. Heh

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction(s). To summarize my request: I’d love to have a way to bundle multiple communities into a single section or feed in order to focus on a specific topic (and take breaks from… others). The obvious parallel from Reddit is a MultiReddit. For examples of how I use them:

• Games: Just games and related topics. A nice place to indulge in a hobby
• HappyPlace: No, not like that. These are cute pics and videos of animals, dogs, art and photography, a place to relax and remember the world can be good

I see this as one of the most useful and even powerful features of a community-based system like Lemmy. Would love to have this option here

Thanks for all the work you do. Is there a place we can make feature requests? I don’t want to clutter this thread if this isn’t the right place

For a little while I kinda split the difference. Early in my tech news writing career, I started pronouncing my last name as the French version.

I fenced in high school and we did well enough to go to a national competition, so they brought in fancy refs from France. For the first time in my suburban upbringing I heard an actual French person pronounce my last name over the auditorium speakers and it was the coolest frigign thing I’d ever heard.

So once I started doing interviews and getting on podcasts in the early days of my writing career, I pronounced my last name that way to try and distance myself from my family without going through a legal hullabaloo.

I eventually I realized it was a bit disingenuous since I hadn’t spent the time to learn anything about my French heritage, which I was already quite removed from anyway. I dropped it and went back to what was surely the Ellis Island pronunciation I grew up with.

So the lawsuits are going great, then

Those bees know what they did

Totally. Whole businesses have sprung up for running and monetizing them. Check into Ghost, WordPress and WooCommerce, Memberful. Lots of other options.

I mean. I’m generally an app snob and prefer them most of the time. But we also can just use the website. Lots of people visit YouTube simply in a browser on mobile, without the app on any platform.

People saying “blog” when they mean post. You did not write a new blog on your blog, you wrote a new post on your blog.

You do not drive your car on the car. You drive your car on the road.
