I like to pin niche Lego communities to get the ball rolling
Since leaving Reddit definitely more participation. Even started some communities; a thing I never really cared for doing, but seems more appropriate and rewarding here!
Dark grays, blues? Squared? Good. I love simplicity! Not to mention, Reddit started out like that too, and among the older wave of users old.reddit was still a favorite for that reason.
Similar kind of stuff happens all the time, where public institutions bear the cost and consequences of private enterprises. Good example of a not too dissimilar situation was Memorial Hospital during Katrina, where instead of sending private helicopters and rescue, the firm that owned the hospital opted to wait for “free” US government rescue.
Privatize the profits, but socialize the losses.
Offbrand bricks are just fine. The reason I picked the Lego name is because everyone knows it. So no worries! If you want to make a specific community for offbrand bricks, I’d be glad to pin it!
Stickied! Let the niche communities flourish
Always great to see Lego robotics projects. Really sparked the imagination as a kid, and it’s never been uninteresting to see what people come up with
Sadly, this is the only logical conclusion of things that are run for profit. Here’s hoping the federated model proves more resistant in the long run.
Thanks for the solid maintenance Ruud!
Great to see niches like these pop up, thanks for making!
Microsoft Flightsim for me. Pick a beautiful place, anywhere on Earth, and just explore. Even better if you do it in a glider: the only sound being the wind around you as you take in the view is incomparable.
No time like the present! This place is 10 days old, so get making the places you wish to see :) I intend to get NoSleep an early start, but am far from experienced enough. That’s fine though, it’s all new for everyone here
Pioneering work is hard but very rewarding. Definitely a fun time which we all should use to really shape things how we would like them to be
I have many questions, and none I need answers to.
Quite excited honestly. Things feel like anything is possible here, a sense of optimism and possibility. One that reddit had many many years ago. I have good hopes for the fediverse way of doing things
We’ll see. If another Lego community pops up that’s fine. I’m not too concerned about a sticky post, more so about making sure these communities get help growing as well.
