Have you ever heard of this cool niche kernel? How was it called?.. Uhh, I think it was Lunix. Or was it Linux? Yeah, Linux!

!linux@lemmy.ml

Its userbase is pretty small, I bet nobody heard of it on such a tiny platform as the Threadiverse

Someone should really make a !gnu+linux community in the vein of r/linuxcirclejerk

I can think of a German Forest-Fairy, that’s known by name: Holla.

I help run the place, so I'm biased.

Anyway, the instance is wetshaving focused, which is to say we use all sorts of nice shaving soaps, razors, blades, etc, and talk at length about it.

A mini event is in the works that most of the regulars are taking part in. Everyone is being mailed a small sample of the same soap, and on July 17th we're all going to use it and give our thoughts.

It's niche, and we know it, so we're open to answering questions, etc.

Mid 30s and still can't grow a beard or moustache. There is no hope for me.

That is cool and I love that there is an exchange starting, that is rad.

nice. I just use a beard trimmer around my throat lol

I checked and I'm already subbed! I converged onto a stable process years ago but still casually peruse what new things folks are trying.

Phoenix copper DOC, KCG blades, fougere gothique soap and splash, Phoenix travel scuttle, Yaqi synthetic brush with rainbow handle. FG is my all time favorite scent, I keep a stash of spares in case they stop making it.

The DOC is my third razor and is the best blend of speed and safety, with the open combs better dealing with my long thick neck hair after a week of growth. I also have a Feather Artist Club that I should sell and a AS-D2 I gave my oldest when he came of age. I will need to get another safety razor for my youngest in a few years, either an AS-D2 or the latest greatest mild razor.

I want to plug the communities I created, but I'm always afraid that's going to be a divisive comment. I have zero desire to really "moderate" anything, but I do have communities that I would love have some engaging conversations in, as well as places where people can exchange helpful info and advice. I am planning to make a community for cleaning and organizing tips and discussions.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

plug away this time since its relevant and not spammy

!boinc@sopuli.xyz join a movement of people donating their spare CPU time to medical research

I remember this thing way way way back when, and it was mentioned in the news? It had some kind of really neat visualization thing screensaver? Lines and lines of colors, with some spikes, going from further back towards the viewer and...

I couldn't find that part again. I loved that, need the useless neat part

If you like comedy, there's a stand up show called Kill Tony. Comedians sign up and get 60 seconds to do their best bit/s. I post the link every week to the sub !killtony@lemmy.zip. Check it out if that would interest you, we would love to be more active in the community.

Just started a writing club in !writing@slrpnk.net so I'm partial to it. But it is very quiet there.

I've got vague designs on livening the place up, so it's been in my thoughts a bit.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Sounded interesting so I went to subscribe. Turns out I was already.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !badrealestate@feddit.uk

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Is there anything you’re interested in?

[–] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

well I've used the search bar to find everything I can think of. I haven't been able to find a good sopranos shitposting community, or anything similar to the benzodiazepines subreddit

!onlythepunchline@lemmy.world

!hoodwinked@lemmy.world

All communities that I moderate (on my .world account) and all pretty inactive. I'd love to see more cropped memes!!!
