The Bad Batch was pretty fantastic, and those first few minutes especially are pretty fucked. With a cast containing Jason Momoa, Keanu Reeves, and a very sneaky Jim Carey, I’m honestly surprised it didn’t get more attention than it did. Maybe it’s the cannibalism.

Basically, the premise is that there’s this big chunk of open desert around a town called Comfort out in the middle of a fenced off area in Texas where they dump criminals. It’s got a very post-apocalyptic vibe. Highly recommended.

I’m doing it with Calckey myself, but Communities basically act like users. You can search and follow them. You’ll get to see posts in that community in your feed, and you can make top-level comments and reply to direct replies on your own comments, but if you want to see comments that aren’t responding to you you’ll have to switch over to Lemmy.

I basically just browse my own Calckey front page now and then when I see a Lemmy thread that looks interesting I open it in Lemm.ee or Blahaj.zone.

On Calckey you just search for @NAME@INSTANCE, whether the name is a community or an individual you’ll be able to follow them!

Edit: I made a little VIA macro, so now I’ve got a hotkey that grabs the link in my current clipboard and searches it in lemm.ee. Made it a lot easier!

Even beyond subscribing to other communities that are also on a Lemmy instance, you can throw a wider net and use some form of fediverse software to interact with different kinds of instances.

I think Lemmy software may be a little more limited in this, as I haven’t had much luck subscribing to Mastodon users on my Lemmy accounts, but I can subscribe to Lemmy communities on Mastodon and Calckey. I haven’t really done much with it on Mastodon, but on Calckey I can see Lemmy posts from communities I’m subscribed to in my feed, and I can make a top-level reply to the post but I can’t read or reply to the comments (unless they’re replies to mine) without going to some version of Lemmy to view the rest of the post.

Still, that makes it pretty convenient to scroll through my own Calckey as well as Lemmy, Mastodon, Kbin, Pixelfed, and seemingly basically whatever else I could want. Sure, sometimes I have to switch sites to engage with the content, but that’s as simple as clicking a link or at worst navigating to the post again on the site. With the pace of most instances, that’s not hard to do

It’s also not oversaturated, so people will actually see and interact with what you’re posting, and yet if you cast a wide enough net you can get continuous content to read if you really want to.

I guess the point is, the more you take it into your own hands the more it can do for you.

So far it seems kind of hit or miss whether stuff shows up, but some of it is!

It’s a separate type of Fediverse instance based on Misskey. Connectivity with Lemmy seems, uh… dicey… but somewhat functional!

How did you get Lemmy to ‘boost this’? This is showing up in my Calckeys, but not the new post I just made. I’m so confused!
