I feel like I am being targeted with this post, how do I report something as harassment?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

You need to press control alt delete and then insert a bent paper clip into the small hole in your CD-ROM drive. No, not that hole, the other one. Oops, you just made a five volt connection which fried every board in the system. Now you need to contact Compaq support. But they were just acquired by HP. And Fry’s went out of business. But it’s Thursday evening and Lost season 3 is starting tonight. Will Kate hook up with Jack or Sawyer?

Create a niche community for that.

ah yes, jokes based on my suffering

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I need to be dead honest here. This is Lemmy. If it isn't there, make it. I get not wanting to moderate etc. but if you want that thing to happen you're going to have to make it and you're going to have to post as often as you can. Do I want to mod a community? Not at all, but I've made two and I post to both as often as I can when the opportunity strikes.

The whole "this niche thing doesn't exist so I'm not enjoying Lemmy" argument falls flat for me. Just take the leap and keep going at the pace you can. Even if it is slow, it's something and people may migrate and enjoy the content. Ignore downvotes, they don't really matter here. Just post stuff, even if it is irregular.

I think you missed the point of the meme. Lemmy itself is pretty niche, which is why I shitposted it here. Non-defensively, I mod 3 small niche communities.

But I'm not creative or interesting enough to make content. I'm barely qualified to comment in other people's posts.

I have no idea why this meme caused you to say all of that, where does a lack of a niche community come into play with this meme? Just trying to understand

[–] dlrht@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Appreciate the honesty haha

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

I have six communities. I'm not gonna pretend I put in a ton of legwork promoting them, but they're dead af.

There are a number of reasons why it may not be possible to solve a problem at a particular time. A positive distraction can be healthy during such a phase

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

but don't let it distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

Dang you and your interwoven/obfuscated memes 🧩

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I showed this to my girlfriend and she just stared at me

Oh no

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quick, do a joke about people who lack self awareness and see if she laughs

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
[–] The_wild_card@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe stop fucking sharks and she'll love you more ?

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

You cut me deep

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This resonates with me. I'm going to save it to my cloud folder labeled "memes" where I stash things to repost later when I'm bored.

But what if the ceiling is made of wood and not metal? A welder would be powerless to protect the memes that reside above.

Crazy how nature do that

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Would you feel better with a Blåhaj meme?

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Ironically most the niche communities here aren't active.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I think the birding community is doing good. IDK how to link it on mobile.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is Linux not niche enough for you hippies?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

It's pretty mainstream in Lemmy Terms. On Lemmy, to be a niche computer user, you need to be running FreeBSD, Gnu/Hurd, TempleOS or still be running AmigaOS :)

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Is there a hippie community?

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Why only one?

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

as a person currently obsessing over multiple videogames with fandoms with a terrible reputation, it do feel like that sometimes

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I guess sometimes we don't see our own patterns till they're laid out in front of us.

[–] moshtradamus666@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I got banned from a community for the first time. I'm doing my part!

[–] garlicandonions@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is the best meme.

[–] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but now I'm more tired, more lonely and more depressed.....

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Welcome to the addiction hamster wheel. You coulda got into opioids, but instead you went with mechanical keyboards

[–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This meme hits home
