Reddit never banned me, and yet here I am.

Maybe there's something missing in your analysis?

That... doesn't really explain anything, but good luck anyway.

What made you choose this particular community to post your story?

[–] shiny_idea@aussie.zone 1 points 4 weeks ago

Wow, there's even more songs in that disambiguation list than the one I posted.

Dozens of different songs!

[–] shiny_idea@aussie.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago

So many songs are called "Sway".

Yes, some are covers of each other (eg Dean Martin, Mucho Mambo) but then there's the Rolling Stones one, the Bic Runga one, the Kooks one...

Wikipedia lists like a dozen more in the disambiguation page for "Sway"

It sounds more like you want to create a new community on an existing instance.

Setting up a new community can be as easy as clicking the new community button and filling in the fields.

Setting up a whole instance of Lemmy (like lemmy.world, which you're on, or aussie.zone, which I'm on) is way more involved than you're probably thinking - buying a domain name, figuring out hosting, installing the Lemmy software, and a whole lot more.

Uhhhh....

What?

[–] shiny_idea@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Why would you post this article here, in this community?

Did you cross-post your blog to the wrong place?

[–] shiny_idea@aussie.zone 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

OK, follow-up question: what does 'lovies' mean?

What is this and how is it relevant to the community you're posting in?

[–] shiny_idea@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

hence the distraint

Is this a typo or a cool new word I can use?

I like using word association as a game. It's quick to learn, doesn't need any equipment, and it's no problem to join or leave the table whenever you like.

Try to get from some word (eg HOME) to some other word (eg SUMMIT) taking only small, obvious steps.

Each step should make a pair of terms that "obviously" fit together. They can fit together because they sound similar (HOME -> ROAM), or they are written similarly (HOME -> HOLE), or have an obviously-related meaning (HOME -> AWAY)... anything that makes sense to the group.

You can take turns around a circle. When it's your turn, you announce the next link. If anyone thinks the link isn't small enough or obvious enough, they can object and you'll need to pick a different link. Then it's the next person's turn.

You can play competitively if you like (the person to reach the target word wins) but it also works fine without announcing a winner.
