I’m really upset about this. I really enjoyed it over there.

Babel has been on my list for a while! Need to give it a bump to the top soon.

Have you read Yellowface? Or her other series, The Poppy War?

Hey I dig it. Some Grisham hits the spot for me.

However, I’m a lawyer myself so sometimes it’s hard for me to read legal thrillers because I want to escape real life….

For sure, I’ll check in with you after I get around to finishing it!

Oh interesting. Good to know! I dug The Stormlight Archives (still need to read the latest one…), but couldn’t get into Mistborn at all. Maybe I’ll give Skyward a go. If it’s YA it should be a fast read and I’ve heard good things!

Ah, got it. Thanks for linking that information!

I know this is several weeks late but I wanted to respond and THANK you sincerely for this. I’ve been listening to the songs listed on the playlist and have discovered some new stuff I really enjoy. I only wish that (a) I could listen to this Bloody Roots episode and (b) there was an actual playlist of these songs streaming somewhere!

For me, I’ve been listening to In The Shadows by Mercyful Fate and have been enjoying it a lot. Wasn’t super familiar with MF before so I’m exploring their discography.

Last week, another user shared Endless Battle by Wytch Hazel with me and it’s been my favorite song I’ve heard in a long time.

Finally, discovered Crown Lands today…they’re like a modern day Rush revival…I am quickly getting addicted to this. Their recent album, Fearless, has extreme 2112 vibes.

Still trying to “find my place” here but I am enjoying the whole thing. Lots of awesome discussions popping up and great conversation here.

Okay, Harvey Milk is really cool - I had no idea that a band could sound like this. It’s awesome stuff.

I was familiar with Godspeed you black emperor and love that kind of stuff. Have to be in the mood for it, but when I am, it hits just right.

Thanks for pointing me to them. Another user commented about Lamb of God and suggested starting with Ashes in the Wake and working forward. I really enjoyed that album and will keep exploring their music!

What is your favorite Lamb of God album? And do you have any other “groove band” recommendations?

I thought so! Hopefully we can all share some ideas and get into some new stuff.

I’m going to miss r/guitar and r/guitar lessons. As someone who just started getting back into playing guitar, those two subreddits were ESSENTIAL treasure troves of tips, information, and guides to learning, practicing and enjoying guitar. Hoping to find / develop something similar on Lemmy…

It also seems to genuinely help foster conversation and discussion. No one is posting or reposting just to karma farm.

I’m super excited for the potential this has. Happy to be here and hoping to help build a great online community with you all!

Oh for sure. I am very appreciative of the dev and everyone working to help shape it into the best version it can be! My apologies if my post came off as snarky, it wasn’t intentional.

Ah ok, good to know! I get that it’s all early and still in development. I really enjoy the app so far - but the messages and notifications features would really make it top for me!

Yep! That’s what I’m seeing and it is pretty frustrating.

I’ve been bouncing between Lemmy and Tildes to see which I prefer. I am having a hard time with deciding. I vastly prefer how Lemmy has the reply to a post box right underneath the body of the post, whereas Tildes requires you to scroll to the bottom of ALL comments to make your own reply.

I like that Lemmy has the ability to create a ton of different communities and sub-communities. Tildes has like ~music, but nothing below that (like ~metal or ~indie). So Lemmy seems to have more of a curated community feel.

I think I like the UI of Tildes more, as of now, but Mlem is a promising app (I just wish there were notifications for comments to my posts/replies on the app. Maybe someday!)

Holy shit, thank you for this explanation! This was the simplest way I have ever seen it explained and was super helpful. Very appreciated!
