And I'm ok with it

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

yeah, i had to unsubscribe from !cats because 80% of my feed was cats

[–] Gointhefridge@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago

All the more reason to make more posts in other instances to flood the feeds with more diversity.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Same for me, which strikes me as a fundamental problem with the platform that once one community blows up it drowns out the others

Could do with some balancing algorithm that soft caps the ratio of posts from a single community that get shown on any given page

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, that's what I thought scaled sorting does

The internet was made for us to share cats!

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Where? I don't see any cats in my feed and I feel like I'm missing out

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 4 points 7 hours ago

Same, zero cats.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Beehaw defederated from a bunch of instances, maybe you're not federated with the one people are posting to

They're all in the cats community if you aren't subscribed prob won't see em

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Fair enough, I forgot other people still federate with .world

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, beehaw defederated from lemmy.world, home of !cat@lemmy.world.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 5 points 5 hours ago

Imagine defederating from an instance with the cat picture community

[–] lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Why does the one astronaut have the flag of Ohio on the shoulder?

No the memes are gettin self-referential too quickly for me because i need even more cat pics.

“The Babylon project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed. bum bum bah In the year of the Shadow War it became something greater; our last best hope for victory.”

Edit; I’m actually doing a rewatch now and nearing the end of Season 4. I already miss Season 3. Although nothing beats “Drazi: Captain, we’re sorry we thought you were dead. Sheridan: I was, I’m better now.”

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly.

It's right about time for yet another rewatch, too.

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

It remains topical to this day. Appeasement and other historical references just keep repeating ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Who are you?

What do you want?

Why are you here?

Where are you going?

Do you have anything worth living for?

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Fun fact you might already know! Lorien’s actor did a lot of work on B5 as aliens. His human appearance was Sebastian (remembered only as Jack)

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The universe began with a word. But which came first: the word or the thought behind the word?

He's so damn good! The makeup is just 👩🏼‍🍳😙👌🏼 I have a mighty need for a rewatch!

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I rewatch fairly often 😅 especially when I’m indoctrinating someone close to me to the series haha. I was born when it premiered and watched it when young. I live vicariously through newcomers reactions to plot reveals.

It’s one of those shows that gets better and better upon rewatching as there are references to upcoming events if you know what to look for.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I just need to buy the DVD set tbh, last I watched it was yearssss ago 😭 but I'm proud of myself for remember the questions haha

There's so much foreshadowing! Fuck, off I go to get the set haha

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

I’ve bought the series multiple times over 🫠 the dvds are great though for the commentary. There are some actor commentaries and some from JMS. Also the outtakes for each season are wonderful; I still reference them to this day haha
