OK, so I’ve gotten lazy and this is only my second post in six days. I’m trying for quality over quantity here, and it took me a while to figure this one out. But here we go…

This is an illustration for a song by Yuno about swirling your hand around in a puddle and watching everything loop around in circles. It’s therapeutic. Vocals are done with a Vocaloid voice named Yukari Yuzuki but…this girl is not Yukari Yuzuki. She’s an original character, I guess.

Oops, I re-used the E in my third guess. That’s what I get for playing Wordle right after I wake up.

This puzzle went down fast. I just ran my game of prioritizing RTLECANIPDS and made my own luck.

The real strength of this starting word is its excellent second words in common situations. It’s easy to find a play using R, T, and I for a second round knockout.

My starting word betrayed me today. Those yellows made it really difficult to find legal words to play, and it took forever, even if my guesses were nearly perfect according to Scoredle.

Hi! [email protected] mod here. Thank you for the shout out! I’ll try to participate here from now on.

Sub.rehab can show you subreddits that have verified official communities on Lemmy, Mbin, and others. You can import your followed subreddits from Reddit and find their Fediverse counterparts quickly. It’s the best place I’ve found for Reddit users to find communities to follow here, even if a lot of them aren’t very active and their Reddit versions are still active too.

I think Lemmy and Mbin’s interfaces scare some people off. A lot of users don’t know that Lemmy has plenty of other third-party interfaces like Photon, Alexandrite, Voyager, and of course, Old.

Mbin lacks these for now, but makes up for it with the rarely-used custom CSS for magazines, just like Old Reddit, and custom JS too! I use mine to create a two-column layout with big thumbnails! Unfortunately, the CSS doesn’t federate and is only visible when viewing it on Fedia itself. I’d love to have even a Lemmy-like banner image on other instances.

For the daily word puzzle Wordle, [email protected] and /r/Wordle both benefit from having a bot post a discussion thread for each day’s puzzle as it’s released. I go there every day and post how I did on the day’s puzzle. I still post and moderate on the Reddit one every once in a while, but I tell them about the Lemmy one while I’m there. The recently-created [email protected] does this for several daily puzzle games, but I’m not sure if it’s a stronger community or just more cluttered.

Of course, we could remind Reddit users that the Fediverse doesn’t have ads! That was a huge selling point for me.

And when a Reddit community decides to go all-in and move here, they could consider a full screen redirect link like Old Reddit /r/Mei. I thought about using that redirect myself on my old subreddit.

This art was posted 16 years ago, but the Valley of the Witches just became official this year as section of Ghibli Park. I thought this Kiki/Nausicaä mashup was pretty practical. A tiny witch on a broom with a bazooka would be a great air defender and difficult to shoot down. Hopefully Kiki’s carrying some flares to deal with any heat-seeking missiles that come her way.

/r/Columbus too. We tried with [email protected] and a few others, but they all died out after a few months.

To be real, the regulars at [email protected] are completely different from the regulars I had at /r/FloatingIsFun. I couldn’t get most of them to follow me to the Fediverse, and the community I built on the Fediverse mostly benefited from the added exposure of a Lemmy bug that pinned all Kbin posts to the top of /new for two hours.

Could have been a lot worse.

To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the “take part” button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like “en-US”.

The NYT sure gave us a wake-up call today. We’ve had it too easy lately.

Oops, I actually teased two different posts for today, so here’s the other one. On Sonic the Hedgehog’s official Japanese Twitter, telekinetic hedgehog Silver is delivering packages to atone for the game he debuted in, but it’s no use . This fan remake is looking good though.

I warned you! This not-subtle ad for Levi’s jeans is the dumbest crap I’ve posted since Fat. For this Jackass reject to float like that, those pants would have to be inflated to about a 15-foot sphere. It’s dumb fun, though, and the music is good.

Almost a 2/6, but I second-guessed myself and went for an R instead.

Now I’m thinking of a character like Primer who can choose her abilities for each encounter by equipping different colors. Primer’s such a cool character.

That’s right, it’s a CD single from that VTuber Kanade Izuru. The Linkfire page has links to the CD on Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Deezer. All the most popular VTubers are apparently musicians too.

My last post didn’t go over all that well, so here’s some anime-ass anime art for a VTuber from Holostars. Oh man, you guys are not gonna like what I have planned for Sunday. It’s more bogus than Luma’s Dream Machine. More than this.

After my starting word, my head was practically shouting this second guess at me, and it was right! I think I won’t be the only 2/6 today. ✌️

Too easy. Everyone with a decent starting word got this one in 2 or 3, right?
