Posts would describe bizarre situations people have found themselves in, and commenters would take a stab at what put them there.
There’s a lot of potential here.
lemmy_check: crowdsourced fact-checking
lemmy_see: spot to compare pics of arbitrary stuff (lemmy see your favorite mug)
lemmy_know: ad-hoc polls, recommendations or requests for how-tos (lemmy know how you season your mac and cheese)
lemmy_tell_ya: rants about whatever
can i make these, since technically these are your ideas, i am definitely interested in lemmy_check. I believe lemmy_know is very close to c/ask
Please do and link them all here so I can subscribe
If your answers are going to be video links, most people won’t be interested
I agree, those are just 2 examples of people doing fact finding, idea is someone will post something, and other lemmings will do what people in the video did
Lemmy_know when you got this up and running ❤️
Go for it!
Lemmy_at_him
Lemmy_at_them, to have a wider scope.
Lemmy_at_em rolls off the tongue better, imo.
Shorter too, which is always good for a community name. You win!
I was searching for something that. Cool! I think the old Scrappy Doo character came to mind first!
Roasting community?
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Done.
Oh wow thank you so much!
I got super busy today and only just got back on now to see the idea seems to have some traction. I will try to post/comment there to get ball rolling.
I was thinking actually, you could have posts that, like I suggested, describe a strange situation and invite people to speculate on how it came about. But you could also give some sort of narrative that describes the circumstances instead and leads up to a point where you go “…and you’ll never guess what happened next!” or something to that effect.
I’d subscribe to that community
On the flip side, The Margot Robbie account created Now Lemmy Explain.
Owww that’s cool
So cool it hurts, apparently?
They are shitting bulls, probably living a life of constant pain
CREATE IT NOW
Community for fake/real stories and commenters get to discuss if it’s real or not. This is actually just the green text community nevermind
More like AITA
lemmy_google_that_for_you
And a hook-up community called lemmy_holla
