Nice list!

My theory is that if we start with an up-to-date list, we can crowdsource updates without too much trouble. In theory?

One way to do this could be to have a GitHub repo where the list is hosted. That way if someone wants to update it, they create a pull request that can be accepted by the moderating team

Disclaimer, I’m not the parent, @yads@lemmy.ca is

!crochet@lemmy.ca would probably like this

Wait, there were Lemmy stickers?

Also they have a Matrix room, you can maybe ask there: https://matrix.to/#/#infodesk:fosdem.org

Good question. They have a Youtube channel, but don’t seem to use it that much: https://www.youtube.com/@fosdemtalks/videos

Nice that you enjoyed it!

Very well done

Happy for you, enjoy!

Well done!

Well, to be fair this community is much more active than !tolkien@lemmy.world.

Thank you for your contributions, by the way!

Nice meme.

However, couldn’t also Eärendil be considered?

Edit: found another possibility:

Legolas is the geographically-closest “elf-prince” to Erebor, where the coat was found. But it’s made of mithril, and that can’t be found in Erebor.

So it was probably forged in Moria. The mithril was definitely mined there. We don’t know exactly when, but we know Moria bordered not one, but two elf-kingdoms (Lorien and Eregion).

Elrond was Gil-galad’s right hand elf, and probably could have claimed the title of high king after the Last Alliance, although he didn’t. He also lived in Eregion for a while, and met his wife in Lorien. He had two sons, both born well before Moria fell to the balrog.

Conclusion: it was forged either for Elladan or Elrohir. They wore it, outgrew it, and gave it back to Durin’s folk, who then brought it with them into exile.

I meant hardcore leftists

The PDev version is better anyway.

I have a few communities that are still on .ml, I forgot you guys were defederated, maybe I should move them elsewhere

.ml is okay to discuss Linux, the overlap between the two communities makes sense

Sure unless your instance is defederated, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation

Hopefully defederation will happen less and less with 19.X allowing users to block instances themselves

I’m in plenty of communities where there are lots of low value posts that would normally be consolidated into a single stickied post for the community but there isn’t a large enough userbase to make a stickied post worthwhile despite there being multiple communities for that topic.

Any examples of those? What prevents those communities from merging?

I do think it would be nice if there was a way for community mods to choose to combine two communities across instances,

If they are willing to cooperate that far, they could as well merge the communities

What would help is that people stopped trying to find a “canonical place” to put content and just went on to put content without much worry. I have been basically posting on !humanscale@communick.news by myself. Would it be nice if more people posted? Yes. Do you think I will just give up because it’s been six months and no one else cared to post there? Of course not.

Today I learned about this community, seems interesting
