Research paper reading groups.

Is this like a book club but for research papers?
- jet ( @jet@hackertalks.com ) English5•4 months ago
yup!
- pythonoob ( @pythonoob@programming.dev ) 5•4 months ago
Sounds like a good way to gain higher level reading literacy
Like in general or regarding specific topics?
- jet ( @jet@hackertalks.com ) English7•4 months ago
Initially in general, but if there was enough interest breaking into specific topics would be nice to

What’s your domain?
- jet ( @jet@hackertalks.com ) English2•4 months ago
Math, electronics, algorithms, and chemistry are interesting to me
As a bonus behavioral economics
- slacktoid ( @slacktoid@lemmy.ml ) English3•4 months ago
Algorithms sound interesting to me from a research paper perspective. Im a little intimated by the others.

AskHistory or something similar.

Hopefully not as a bunch of really good question posts full of mod-deleted answers.

Hopefully, that aspect was awful.

I’m not seeing enough Linux content, are there any Linux communities on Lemmy?

I miss weird niche creative silly roleplay reddits like
r/vxjunkies
r/enlightenedbirdmen / r/madmudmen
r/earth999
r/nsfwworldbuilding - mostly bees with boobs
These random communities is something I wish picks up when the lemmyverse grows.

Oh, and r/BlackMagicFuckery and r/BlackSmithFuckery

I’ve got one! Obscure textile crafts.
There are knitting/crochet communities of course, but all the super niche ones like ply-split braiding or smocking are too rare to warrant a whole community to themselves. On reddit there was a defunct sub called bistitchual, both for all obscure fibercrafts and for combinations of unrelated fibercrafts in one work. I wish we had it here.

My town. It has an active subreddit but last I checked there were only 2 in the Lemmy community.
I find it funny how reddit manages to have active communities for towns, even ones in non-english speaking countries.

Rocket League, and lots of other games, seem to have stayed on Reddit.

For me, it’s any community of Tradespeople. I can find relevant manufacturer and adjacent code regulations for modern equipment or building techniques anywhere online. The problem comes from obscure-ancient technology that was discontinued 60+ years ago, the only references to those are on Reddit and very specific forums.
I recently ran into an electrical panel that was built in the 60’s and was promptly made illegal (split bus residential panel, no singular main disconnect switch). Even being trained and educated as an Electrical Engineer, it only gave me the ability to understand what the panel was doing, not the history and use cases of the past (since their use in residential applications is obsolete). I was able to find discussions between inspectors and electricians, how things played out with local authorities, and the on going debate of their practicality by actual professors discussing regulations and safety. I will miss these resources if they become unavailable at a future date (the whole enshitification process).
That being said, places with higher than average traffic (like reddit now) tend to give a lot of crappy answers. Lot’s of diy’ers thinking their way is best (whether it’s code compliant or not), and others who don’t care about discussion and only want to say you’re doing it wrong because it’s not how they would do it (and nets them the highest profit margin on a job). There’s lots of owners out there that are probably afraid to ask a question now adays because of the responses (same linux community effect), even though the information around it could be important.

Reddit had quite a few, pretty popular Buddhist subs. There isn’t even ONE buddhist sub here with more than 3 active ppl. And those are usually the same person posting. I still use reddit from time to time in my phone browser just to check them out, but maybe one day we’ll have more on lemmy.

Oh I guess “an active community for fanfiction of this specific TV show or videogame I like to enjoy” would be far too niche, right?
Fine, then I’ll say immersive teaching (using dioramas, doing experiments on the field, etc… for teaching classes), and alone / 2-people living lifehacks (in particular in this economy).

Exists, but not a lot of posts on it.
Ditto for !rct@lemmy.world, though that’s apparently for all the RCT series, not just OpenRCT2.
