    I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says “Recommended Subreddit” and not “Recommended Community”.

    Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended Subreddit Community, or if it’ll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).

    You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

    I’ll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I’ve seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.

    Oh hey, on fanaticus.social! I discovered that a little while ago and I am glad people are putting sports communities on the sports instance. I understand the importance of decentralization and that it is good to have several communities about the same thing on different servers, but I first found an MLB community somewhere totally elsewhere than the sports instance, so it pleases me to see someone using the sports instance for sports. I like the idea of interest category instances, like how programming has programming.dev and lots of communities that have to do with programming (such as different ones for different programming languages, for funny stuff, etc.).

    I don’t know much about the things your chosen communities are about, unfortunately, so sorry I cannot really help or post. Except…

    A post on r/NFL that stuck with me was the one where they go through all the mascots and find out which teams have fewer fans than the thing they are named after, with count of fans guessed based off something like Facebook likes. Maybe I’ll do something like that but for college football. I also remember a video on YouTube ranking some kind of team (forget what sport) by how much their mascot would weigh. Although that might be a bit high-effort for someone like me who doesn’t have much interest in football. Now I’m thinking of that MLB post with the names of the MLB teams if they went by the name of the most common animal in their… region? home state? and spoiler alert it was all ants.

    Still slowly progressing through My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- (and what a long title that is). I have sadly found 14 typos so far, and 19 errors (counting those 14 typos) only having Keith’s route, Geordo’s route, the Normal route and having literally just started Nicol’s. On one hand it’s a lot of text and I know I have a very good eye for typos: I don’t actively look for typos in order to say something nasty, it’s more that I just play and honestly can’t help but notice them. On another hand, it’s a commercially-released game. But hey, I know some otome have… not the best translations (some possibly machine-translated!) and this one clearly reads as translated by a human being who knows both Japanese and English.

    Katarina can use Earth Bump in the game, and it has such a cute SFX!

    Geordo route spoilers

    I got kidnapped! I love how the game calls it “Another End” and not “Bad End” or “Doom End,” which both acknowledges some people are into that, as well as that Katarina is oblivious to her capture. It’s also funny to me how, in his good end, Katarina wonders “is this jealousy?” to something that is normal for him and does not read as jealousy, just regular old possessiveness, and she misses so many times where he is actually acting jealous of someone else. Not sure if it’s her obliviousness or something that did not make it over in translation.

    Geordo route and Mystic Messenger Jumin Han spoilers

    The kidnapping reminds me of Jumin Han’s bad end.

    Nicol route spoilers

    Okay, I came into the game knowing magic is canon, but somehow I was absolutely blindsided by the existence of a ghost.

    Probably 2 or 3. Posting them for the benefit of people reading this:

    Fun fact about buns #2: A bun’s ears are so powerful, they’re sensitive to radio & satellite signals! This enables them to watch TV with their minds!

    Fun fact about buns #3: Buns are incredibly intelligent! So intelligent, that they’ve engineered for themselves rocket-booster shoes! This is what enables buns to hop very long distances!

    Pretty out there but still distinctly connected to some known thing about rabbits.

    Now that I think about it, I have not actually read Watership Down but I think I heard somewhere about its bunnies only being able to count to 4 or something. Fact #A feels like a fun move in the opposite direction.
