  • Yesterday I had to finish my work at 6 to attend a 3 hours language class at 7 and I was dissociating so hard that when I left I had to come back to work to grab something I forgot, then I freaked out thinking I lost a key to my office (they were in the other pocket). Then halfway to the language school I realized that I lost my coat somewhere along the way. Then I managed to get lost somehow on my way to the language school. After the class I got lost twice when I was exiting the fckin building! I was like “get yourself together FFS!” lol Feel so stupid even now while I’m writing this.




  • Mostly it’s different subgenres of rock and metal (like 70% of all comments here. Seriously, I’ve never met so many ppl that listen to my favorite music in one place xD).

    I kinda have a few moods. For the “fun and energetic” mood I have hard rock and heavy metal, for the “my job is f*cking me and I don’t like it” I have nu metal and some other things that sound angry, for the “fancy” I have a strange mix of P!atD, Franz Ferdinand, some songs that are creepy/sad but sound happy (“I can’t decide”, “Don’t fear the Reaper”, “To The Sea”) and steampunk/dark cabaret/murder song bands (Voltaire, Coppelius, the Cog is Dead, American Murder Song)




  • Yeah writing down my dreams is hard for me too especially when you just woke up in the middle of the night. But i found that it helps if you don’t write it down in every last detail. I only jot down a few keywords when I wake up and that usually works, then I can flesh it out it later in the same day when I have time. Takes less effort. If you don’t remember - guess, that’s a good exercise too! Don’t do it tomorrow though, never works :'D Also it can help if you’re forced out of the bed somehow for a couple of mins (drank too much water and have to go to the bathroom, for example), then just take your journal/phone with you. It also helps with WBTB (wake back to bed) by the way.

    I don’t know is links are allowed but here’s the forum with fun dream tasks I mentioned: https://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-month-year/

    I don’t read a lot of forums but this one motivates me because users create this witty unexpected tasks I could never think of myself. And you get to feel accomplished when you finish them XD



  • Really like most of the hobbies from comments, you guys are interesting!

    Mine are (I’m not sure if they are niche but):

    Fountain pens. Writing with them feels very nice and smooth and it’s a little piece of “retro” even though I don’t have time for any other kind of “retro”

    Lucid dreaming. It’s an exercise of control over your dreams and a chance of doing something you like when you sleep. Or experience something new. There are forums with quests like “go to an art gallery in a dream and explore what your brain can give you as a painting” or “build yourself a dream homebase with all your favorite pieces of dreams from childhood” or “jump into a chalk painting and describe your experience”


  • Sadly, there’s the third option: abandon both. Speaking from experience, I went through this some time ago with another social network and couldn’t be bothered with factors 1 and 2, but then the 3rd factor came in, and also I didn’t like what the new place was becoming. But the old one has already changed to corporate greed and it feels different. So now both places feel alien to me, so I chose neither. I’m not saying it will be the same for Lemmy, just ranting :D

    I’ve tried several apps for Reddit on android over the past few years and this is what I’m currently finding uncomfortable using Jerboa for Lemmy:

    • the numbers on the top right corner of the posts are confusing. Like right now they are saying “24 13”. Based on the upvote behavior I think 24 is rating. I’m guessing 13 shows how old is the post but it looks counterintuitive without a measurement unit. Is it 13 mins or 13 hours or 13 months or what?
    • is there a way to collapse comment threads?
    • on some of my previous apps for Reddit there was a way to hide read posts. I don’t really want to scroll past everything I’ve already seen every time I open the app.

    That said, I really like Lemmy and hope it’ll get the fanbase it deserves.
