I've been to spar and checkers over the last while and I shit you not, I've been hearing them play AI generated music. I try to shazam the songs to see if it actually picks up anything but the music isn't even recognized. It sounds like the song was generated off of Suno 3.5 or some shit.
I guess it's cheaper to do that than to pay for licenses for actual songs..

I needed to make a post about something other than technology or politics or a shitpost, so here it is.

What are y'all doing for the Threadiverse Vibrancy Challenge?

I'm treating each point as it's own isolated task and am not going to use the same post / comment to complete multiple points.
Here's my list so far:

2. Make a post about something other than technology or politics or a shitpost. - Done

3. Make a post showcasing a thing or topic you find interesting.

4. Make a post to a community with fewer than 100 subscribers. - Done

5. Make a post to a community in a small instance.

6. Make a post featuring a human-made piece of art.

7. Make an on-topic comment to a post in a small community.

Post from the Dev team:
Hello everyone, I'm here from the Thrive development team to announce we've released the third major update since we started development of the Multicellular Stage, our second game stage. Why is it called 1.6 then? Because we completed everything up to planned release 1.6 in the past three months! And that means the Multicellular Stage is now about 60% completed.

Thrive is a open-source non-profit game that aims to be Spore-like in that it runs through stages from a single-celled organism to a space-born civilization while letting you edit and evolve your species along the way. But it also has a heavy emphasis on providing a convincing and interesting evolution simulation, so that the world changes around you. We also try to keep things scientifically accurate wherever we can, but the focus is on the gameplay experience.

This update in particular adds sexual reproduction, lets you make muscle cells and enables our automatic evolution system to create Multicellular species. But there are also many other additions and improvements, large and small.

Author Comment:
Legs now get automatically grouped together for more natural walk animations. In this example, the four hind legs form a group, making them take alternating steps, while the front legs move independently from them.

Seems like there are events around the fediverse that don't always fit a piefed community and I thought it might be cool to have a community dedicated to setting up and sharing events on Piefed

I created a community and selected searching for moderators option, and I see the little message on the community saying "This community needs more moderators. Contact the piefed.social admin team to apply.", and some other communities have messages displaying similar. Would it not make more sense for this to tell the user to contact the community's moderators? If not, would it make more sense for there to instead be a button that links to a way to contact the admins themselves if that is necessary?
