I didn’t realise U2 once did make great music! Can recommend 1001 albums generator - it’s righting a few musical wrongs in my brain :)

I have a video of a news piece showing a penguin happily waddling around in a Japanese neighbourhood wearing a Pingu backpack. It is an important video, it makes the world happy for a few minutes. :)

I didn’t realise I had it unticked, and feel silly for thinking Lemmy didn’t support them! Totally keeping it unticked, but thought it was funny :)

It seems okay for me, scrolling around in the comments didn’t crash Boost :)

You may ask yourself

“How do I flush this?”

You may say to yourself

“My god, what have I done?!”

I miss the number of users meaning there was always some kind soul also interested in my niche interest, be it coding, obscure band I just found… that was neat. :)

I don’t miss the number of users meaning lame memes and boring gibberish clogging the pipes, not to mention the argument people on the big subs. :/

I needed to say that these are great! :) I’ve not seen anything like it before, really cool and odd. :) Awesome.

Hull, England for me! I went up as a student and stayed another year, partly because I loved the city and wasn’t ready to go home.

There was a great vibe, music venues, free museums and galleries, felt safe, and loved wandering.

I saw the rougher bits too, but it didn’t seem to different to most places. On the whole, the centre was way nicer than I expected, and there was a lot of cool community things people were running.

Works okay for me, Galaxy S10, Android 12 :)

I thought I was hiding posts, turns out I’ve got mark as read as a button enabled!

As I have hide read enabled, it hides them so well that I forgot this was even a workaround! :)

Sides should ideally be eaten before the main - unless it annoys whoever I am eating with

Heck yes! It works a charm and Lemmy is even nicer to use 😊 it was the only feature I could think of that I hoped to see come back, as it’s so useful.

Thank you for your work on all this, it’s a great app. :)

What? Oh no… I just found them :( time to Google and then un-love them

Edit oh for pity’s sake… That’s awful, why do people do things like that. Damn, I guess I’ll just go ahead and trade in the CD I bought.

In a strange way, thank you for helping me find out sooner than later. :)

Not too bad,

I didn’t choose the chug life, the chug life choo-choo chose me!

(And it’s got a picture of a train!)

That’s a very fair opinion too! I feel they changed about 4 times as a band (understandably I guess as they were about for 3 decades), and damn Life’s Rich Pageant was special - it’s one I play very often, and it is stacked! :)

It’s the best they sounded as a pure rock band, even though I have such a soft spot for Murmur. New Adventures touched on that feeling again, but it wasn’t front to back perfect in the same way (partly because of its length!)

The trouble I have is I couldn’t imagine life without what came after Life’s Rich Pageant, for instance Automatic meant a great deal to me, as it was the first album I remember hearing and loving growing up. :)

As massive R.E.M. fan, this made me conflicted! Automatic for the People is beautiful, and most days my favourite, but I wouldn’t want to miss where the band went after.

Their last album was brilliant, Accelerate was fun… I know AftP was a hell of a peak, but I can’t find it in me to write off anything except a chunk of Around the Sun…

Thank you for allowing me to talk about my favourite band. :)

Thank you friendly robot :) I couldn’t stop assuming PoE meant Pillars of Eternity! 😅
