You're in luck (sort of):

Love what re-federation got auto-corrected to.

The canonical community is the one at feddit.nl, since it has all the history and I don't really think it's .nl's fault that someone used it to attack .world.

The bot's due to make one more post at endlesstalk (to announce that the problem is over) and then I'll think about what to do with the community (probably delete it)

Well, that was a storm in a teacup.

.world is federating back with .nl (they got in touch with the admin eventually, and .nl's sign-up process is changing).

I'll stop the bot posting here when I can confirm it's not necessary, and then have a think about what to do with this community (maybe use it for posting Most Trending in the Past Month or something)

This is totally on me, but I'd never recontextualised the meeting between Vader and Leia in New Hope as one that was between father and daughter

I haven't watched either. I'm still watching Ahsoka, but I suspect that those who've watched everything are getting a lot more out of it than I am (still enjoy though, mostly)

I've found AD_edits on youtube to be helpful to watch after an episode - their recent videos re-edit some live-action with some animation to provide more context.

I hope Microblog Memes is the format that takes off - partly because it's inclusive of Tumblr, X, KBIN, etc, but mostly because I always found the idea of 'whitepeopletwitter' to be a bit weird (I know the history of it, but still)

Will probably post to both for a while, until we have some kind of resolution.

Thanks for letting me know about .world defederating. I guess I'll wait and see about what to do about it.

We did it Lemmy - Reddit is #1


Also: Alternative Trending Communities list (from last night on .world):

Yeah, it was on Film4 in the UK.

There's something to be said for the shared experience of watching something, not because you've individually chosen it, but because it's the thing that's on. A 5/10 movie becomes a 7/10 if you limit your options right down.

My favourite experience of watching a film on telly was for Audition (the Takashi Miike film), where, at the end of each ad break, the continuity announcer was advising, with increasing seriousness, that we should stop watching. I would've slept better if I'd listened.
