Thanks, I forgot about it! I think I watched an episode or two of season 1 long time ago, I should revisit it. I don’t know exactly how to say this but Yellowjackets is raw and absolutely uncompromising. Savage almost 😂 It’s an interesting watch but not an easy one to binge for me for some reason. But definitely a quality show. I love Melanie Lynskey and everything she’s in.
Lostwave reminds me of liminal space. It’s an aesthetic rather than an actual mystery, but it gives me a similar vibe.
Back when I was still browsing reddit, I always really liked the subreddit about unresolved mysteries. Hopefully a similar community will at some point emerge in Fediverse.
I’ve always been a fan of a good mystery.
Why do they want my first and last name for registration? Seems more like facebook than reddit.
I had that with Dark. Still no other mystery show comes even close to it, if I feel like watching something similar, my only choice is to rewatch it.
And now the same thing with Severance (season 1 was so good but now it feels like forever waiting for the next one 😩).
The worst was 1899 though. The mystery drew me in, I didn’t want the season to end… Then Netflix cancelled the show, just like that. No more seasons beyond the first one. Fuck Netflix, I cancelled my subscription after that.
The simple fact is that most people these days use social media (almost) exclusively through apps their phones. Yes, you can install it as a PWA through your browser, but that’s a possibility most non-techy people aren’t even aware of, nor is it really explained anywhere. Not having apps in official app stores is a major hurdle to adoption.
So we are at the stage where people are unable to operate a simple mobile website, and everything has to be turned into its own special app?
I don’t know, for me kbin doesn’t have to get as big as reddit to be a cool place to hang out. Not sure if I’m interested in an influx of people who only post selfies and shitty tiktok videos and don’t bother reading the community rules because they’re on mobile and seeing the sidebar requires tapping on a button but they don’t know how to do that or something.
Maybe I’m just bitter from reading all the comments on reddit and seeing how people don’t even bother understanding what happened with the API etc. and just keep screaming “give content now”.
I think that distinction between “NSFW” and “NSFL” would be very useful to have. I often wished for that feature while browsing reddit.
Thank you, I subscribed! Hopefully it will take off :)
Btw, I got a notification about your reply, and I can see it on your profile, but I do not see it when viewing the thread. Not sure why. Never mind, all is working now.
r/UnresolvedMysteries. I really liked this subreddit. Now I took a look at the thread about API changes which is stickied there and it just seems a lot of people are asking “can someone explain to me what’s going on/who cares about 3rd party apps” (and my favorite one - “it’s all power-hungry mods’ fault”), so it doesn’t seem like the community will migrate from reddit.
I miss reading all the write-ups, not only about true crime but also other mysteries.
I’ll also add: LiminalSpace and ididnthaveeggs (for all the insane recipe reviews lol).
Is it possible to block/follow tags?
I have the exact same complaint. From what I see you can browse followed hashtags in the “Discover” tab but even then - it’s showing the feed per hashtag, so you have to click each individual one to see the tagged posts and you can’t browse a feed based on all followed hashtags. This is very impractical, and I basically stopped browsing pixelfed due to this.
