Original art (paintings and sculptures) by local artists. They csn be checked out for three months at a time. It’s really nice to have some original art in your home even if it it’s not by a big name.

Also, I can easily access most of my country’s important newspapers’ online articles that are normally behind a paywall.

Ah, a fellow Krabbé connoisseur!

Welcome to the Fediverse! I’ve been here since the 3rd party app shutdown and haven’t used Reddit ever since. Niche communities are still lacking here, but it gets better as more people join. Also Lemmy servers and apps have gotten more stable over the past year. So I hope you’ll enjoy it here!

Danke für Deinen Einsatz. Ich hab wie schon die letzten zwei oder drei Mal die Piraten gewählt, das ist einfach die Partei in Deutschland, der ich inhaltlich am nächsten stehe. Schade, dass der Sitz verlorengegangen ist. Es kommen wieder bessere Zeiten.

Schau Dir besser nicht die Kommentare unter “L’Amour Toujours”-Videos an, sonst kommt noch Durchfall zum Kotzen dazu.

I mean it makes some sense as memes take less effort to post (they can also just be copied from r/anarchychess or similar places) and lead to some quick upvotes. I’m still confused about chess@lemmy.ml having so little activity though.

Old School Runescape.

Also, I’m really confused as to why chess doesn’t have an active community on Lemmy. Online chess has seen a big boom in recent years, and the demographics of chess players and Lemmy users should have a lot of overlap (i.e. the nerdy IT people), but for some reason the chess community here is more or less dead. Only anarchychess is active, which is great, but I’d love to have an active replacement for r/chess.

Wir müssen die Sorgen und Nöte dieser armen Sylt-Urlauber ernst nehmen.

That’s so interesting! Changes my perspective on an animal that has always felt like a perfectly normal neighbour everywhere I’ve lived (though seeing them is still kind of a rare thing).

Wait wait, are you telling me the US (the Americas?) don’t have hedgehogs??
