In case you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve compiled a fairly sizeable list of focused instances. More would be cool, but there’s a fair number to check out already.

Don’t stretch yourself too thin, though. Might be something to back-burner if money is tight.

I’m surprised that this doesn’t exist already. There’s terefere.eu - “Arts & history instance”, but it seems to be down at the moment so I can’t see more details. There’s also crystals.rest - “A general instance for livestreaming, anime, and retro art!”, but that’s just for one specific type of art.

I had been trying to grow these two:

• kbin.social/m/Animemes / /c/Animemes@kbin.social
• kbin.social/m/anime_irl / /c/anime_irl@kbin.social

They were reasonably popular on reddit, 3m+ and 2m+ subscribers respectively. I started posting once per day to each of them soon after I migrated over, though my meme stash has mostly run dry at this point (I do have a bit more to post to anime_irl). There are some regular posters in anime_irl now, but animemes has been pretty dead since I stopped posting. I’ve also promoted them in the usual places.

There’s also my own community, kbin.social/m/specialized_instances / /c/specialized_instances@kbin.social, for cataloging topic/location focused instances. It works fine as a solo project, but I wouldn’t mind having more suggestions of things to add to the list.

You wouldn’t shitpost in the policeman’s helmet

This meme is stealing.

You’re wrong, your spouse is right.

Thermal energy is required both to raise the temperature of a mass of (in this case) water, and additional thermal energy is required to change its state from liquid to gas. This additional thermal energy is spent without creating any actual temperature increase, but it had to come from somewhere.

In this case, the thermal energy for the state change came from the surrounding air. The energy didn’t come from changing the state of the air, so it must have come from lowering the temperature of the air.

As others have noted, this only works in low-humidity environments. If the air is already saturated with water vapor, no more evaporation will occur. This is why high-humidity environments feel hotter: your sweat isn’t evaporating to cool you off.

Hey now, anarchists don’t deserve this slander. Moderation typically falls under freedom of association/disassociation, which we’re strongly in favor of. The people you have a problem with are the ones that think you should be forced to listen to them, which is pretty contrary to the anarchist ethos.

Inspired by this thread, I made a community for cataloging specialized instances:

• https://kbin.social/m/specialized_instances
• /c/specialized_instances@kbin.social

It’d be another method to drive traffic to their websites and gain more ad revenue. Same as maintaining a presence on twitter or facebook, or providing an RSS feed.

There are valid reasons to be for the merger, and valid reasons to be against it. However, the argument has been posted quite visibly for anyone that cares about it, and the appeal has been made to the lemmy.world admin. The admin will decide what to do, and that should be the end of it.

What we really do not need is a swarm of cranks coming out of the woodwork to Correct The Record™ every time someone makes mention of the event without putting the “proper” spin on it. It is not some grave injustice. If you don’t like the outcome, then join one of the other existing android communities instead of participating in the merger. Or create your own, so that you can run it how you want. And then get on with your life.

No thanks, I’m allergic to filter bubbles. Instead of shitting up every thread and telling people to put in nose plugs, perhaps you could stop being an “ethics in game journalism”-style crank?

We’ll be just fine without your hot take in every thread.

You’ve made two threads about this already. It really doesn’t need to be spammed everywhere.
