All 3 are pretty active, although the bottom one is a bot community hat automatically finds rising and popular communities in the fediverse. The top two are similar, but one seems to be about just generally bringing attention to communities people want more users in (community promo), and the other is about advertising newly created or revived communities (new communities).

I personally subscribe to all 3, but I'm always trying to find new communities to add to my home feed. I prefer using that over All or Local.

It's sad there are Muslims willing to stand on stage with Trump knowing the shit he's done and said.

But it's equally sad that Kamala Harris can't do the same thing.

Anyone know if there's a way to support the strike?

Yay! Hopefully they can turn it into something material to encourage a multipolar world, like get their payment system to work.

In case people are wondering, this is the mentality that produced Nazis.

If they could do a genocide without costing any Israeli lives, they would in a heartbeat.

Long enough they can make sad movies about it.

Oh ya, for sure, but at least check out that site for the different communities you can subscribe to (the equivalent of subreddits here).

I also use these communities to find other ones: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca !newcommunities@lemmy.world !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

Might as well be us in c/usa@lemmy.ml

Good Practical, Comfortable Shoes for Work and Daily Life? (lemm.ee)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by WanderingVentra@lemm.ee to c/malefashionadvice@lemmy.world

I need some new shoes for every day work and walking. I basically only have one pair of casual shoes, one pair of running and gym shoes, and one pair of dress shoes right now, and the first one is falling apart.

I spend most of the day in slacks and collared shirts sitting at a computer, but my work site also involves multiple buildings about 10-15 minutes walk from each other, so that surprisingly the walking and standing can add up throughout the day. Plus, like I said, only got one pair of shoes right now, so I literally wear them all the time for almost everything.

So it would be nice if I could just wear them in normal life, too, so they look good hanging out with friends, going to an amusement park, or going on a stroll. Or maybe I just need to get another pair of shoes, so I can have some that are comfortable and some that look good when I go out to a nice bar or whatever lol.

What do you guys suggest? What shoes do you guys wear for the office or normal every day use? Just white sneakers or something else? What brands or styles?

EDIT: Loving all the recommendations so far! Keep 'em coming!

[FFVIIR] Is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Good for People Who Haven't Played the Original? (lemm.ee)

I have, but I'm going through the Remake trilogy and my partner is watching me complete the game. As far as I know they have somehow stayed unspoiled this whole time, so I'm going to try to keep it that way as long as I can. I'm playing Remake on Hard to remember the story and delay until my next paycheck, but will zoom through as fast as I can to get any cool stuff I missed and then jump into Rebirth.

But I'm just curious, will they still enjoy Rebirth as much as I enjoyed the original games? Or do they change too many things for the sake of the meta-narrative? They are adamant they won't play the original btw, they are watching me play for the story while on their phone, and I don't think will be able to get past the old graphics and lack of voice acting, so I suspect the "This is a sequel, just play the original game" line I keep seeing on Reddit won't fly for them.

What's Your Favorite Blumhouse Movie? (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/42813294

Hey Lemmy,

What are your favorite horror movies from Blumhouse?

I went to Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights this year and they had the whole tram Blumhouse themed. I liked to watch horror movies during this spooky season, so i think catching up on some of these ones seems like a good place to start this year.

It's that spooky time of year again! Anyone here have thoughts about the big scary amusement park events in the area?

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights vs
Six Flags Fright Fest vs
Knotts Scary Farm

For people who enjoy these scary, fun events, which do you prefer most? Are there other Halloween events in Los Angeles you prefer more (Los Angeles Haunted Hay Ride or Queen Mary's Dark Harbour, for example)?

What Happened With Trump At Arlington? (lemm.ee)
 

What I think I know : They tried to take a picture at Arlington National Cemetery, but couldn't? There was a physical altercation maybe? But the Trump campaign said there wasn't?

Is there more to this? Can someone explain to me the context of how this is a scandal?

Like I hate Trump but I don't understand why this is a big deal. It doesn't seem to involve the man personally, just some staffers who had an argument with a cemetery worker, and seems like small potatoes compared to other scandals he's had. Is it because of how sacred the cemetary is, or did they get into an actual fist fight, or did Trump personally interfere in some way?
