I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there’s a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I’ve blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy’s, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country’s Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

    Not really. I find that most “pop culture” still gets talked about, it just doesn’t get pushed into everyone’s face by an algorithm.

    If I drift away from my subscribed feed and look at the all feed, it doesn’t take long for something or another about pop culture to pop up. And then if I’m interested, I go to the particular community that’s talking about it and subscribe. The more I do that, the more interests start to show up in my subscribed feed.

    For the most part, these communities all exist, there’s just no algorithm saying “hey…you’ll probably like this”. And so you have to find them yourself.
