  • @OriginalThinker@lemmy.ml, I'm responding to your DM here.

    We don't move posts to the correct community because Lemmy doesn't have that option - and I'd rather you got to choose where your content lands.

    As for why we don't reach out and tell people - this is a volunteer job on a big community. We rely on the mod log and allow this kind of meta post to stay up for transparency and discussion. Otherwise, we focus on following the rules laid out so that this community can stay within its intended scope. This is a community for open questions and discussion - not support.

    I'm sorry you don't feel welcomed - that's tough. However, communities come with their own rules and mods will make sure they're enforced. I'd recommend checking those rules carefully before posting in the future as that will help the reception of your post.



















  • I've just finished cleaning up my Calibre library and switched to the Story Graph - I really like the filters for figuring out what to read next.

    Currently reading The Lefthanded Booksellers of London by Garth Nix. I've been trying to avoid YA content but picked this up as a palette refresh. So far, I'm enjoying the world-building and the snappy dialogue.

    I just blew through the Gild series by Raven Kennedy - it was a random Story Graph recommendation but apparently it's huge on Booktok. I generally enjoyed it, particularly the world-building and character development. The fourth book dragged as there's a lot of set up for the final book (to be published) in the series.

    And of course, Dungeon Crawler Carl, book 6! It's getting very complex but the core elements that drew me to it are still there. How in the world is this going to end?






  • Late 30s, learned to drive in NL and now live in SE. Initially learned about transmissions by running around on four wheelers. I drive a manual car every day. There's a lot of fun and connection to driving manual, though I see the ease and efficiency of the automatic transmission as well as the general trend.
