Could we get these "goals and highlights" posts moved to a megathread?
  • What community?

    Stop having match threads and then you can rest assured no soccer community will ever form around here.

    My comment was not about the bot but about the human (@Fer90Dar@lemmy.world) that post the match threads for everyone's benefit.

    I am not sure what you call main r/soccer page or separate r/soccer. Perhaps something to do with how you browse reddit. I used to browse reddit with an app (RIF) and old.reddit.com and there was no such separation. Furthermore, they not only have match threads but also post-match threads, goal threads and sometimes threads for red cards, tackles, VAR... and so on.

    Obviously we don't need all that around here but we need at least one post per match thread... That is the bare minimum to have, and that is why I remain strongly opposed to OP.

    Please read my comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/4129234

    I am not sure if you just took the advice from one person or if there was proper discussion but know that I think is way better to keep one thread per game. Perhaps we can have more discussion about this, maybe a poll?

    BTW, know that your job in this community is impressive and awesome. I am thankful for that. Keep it up!

  • Could we get these "goals and highlights" posts moved to a megathread?
  • I am strongly against this recommendation. The reason being that I am very happy with having one quick access post per top level game. That was one of the main features in r/soccer and I consider a luxury that we can have the same approach here in Lemmy.

    Not having that will destroy the community for me.

  • [Cinema] ¿Cuál es tu película española favorita?
  • Española o de habla hispana?

    Si es de habla hispana entonces la argentina Relatos Salvajes (2014) es excelente. Si no la viste te la recomiendo. O la mexicana Amores Perros (2000).

    Si tiene que ser española entonces Te doy mis ojos (2003) o Los Otros (2001).

  • My Review of Fortress (1992)
  • This was one or my favorite scifi flicks of the nineties.

    I was a fan of Lambert (thanks to the Highlander movies) and big into scifi by then. That help me ignoring all the multiple reasons there are to bash this movie.

    I never saw it again but I am sure it didn't age well. I prefer to keep my memories about this movie intact.

    The sequel (Fortress 2) was also bashed by the critics and it was not "good" as the first one, but I still saw it and enjoyed it.

    The Night of the Iguana (1964)

    I saw this movie for the first time last year and was really impressed with Ava Gardner acting performance. And of course she got the Oscar that year.

    I asked ChatGPT to recommend me some scifi books... Most recommendations where invented and don't exist

    We all know by now that ChatGPT is full of incorrect data but I trusted it will no go wrong after I asked for a list of sci-fi books recommendations (short stories anthologies in Spanish mostly) including book names, editorial, print year and of course ISBN.

    Some of the books do exist but the majority are nowhere to be found. I pick the one that caught my interest the most and contacted the editorial directly after I did not find it in their website or anywhere else.

    This is what they replied (Google Translate):

    __________________________________ ChatGPT got it wrong.

    We don't have any books with that title.

    In the ISBN that has given you the last digit is incorrect. And the correct one (9788477028383) corresponds to "The Holy Fountain" by Henry James.

    Nor have we published any science fiction anthologies in the last 25 years. __________________________________

    I quick search in the "old site" shows that others have experienced the same with ChatGPT and ISBN searches... For some reason I thought it will no go wrong in this case, but it did.

    La actividad en lemmy en nuestro idioma es prácticamente nula. A que se debe?

    Veo comunidades activas en otros idiomas (por ejemplo francés o alemán) pero en nuestro idioma casi no hay actividad, es una pena.

    Aunque en Reddit tampoco había mucho que digamos.

    Hidden posts come back to my feed once I refresh.

    When I hide posts in my feed I was expecting to not see them again (as it worked in RIF), but I do see them again if I refresh my feed.

    I was a RIF user in Reddit, never used Sync before, so maybe this is working as intended. I hope it is a bug as for me hiding posts should prevent the post to appear again in my feed.

    Where do I see and manage the list of blocked communities?

    I filtered a community in the filters section in settings but I was still seeing that community in my feed.

    So I opened the community and then blocked it with the options in the toolbar.

    This worked but the community is not seen in the filtered communities.

    So where exactly I see and manage my blocked communities?

    EDIT: If anyone search this post later, I think that there is a difference withing BLOCK and FILTER a community.

    BLOCK is at the instance level and related to my account in that instance.

    FILTER is at the Sync app level.

    I have tried both methods and they both meet my goal to stop seeing a community but if is best for me to use FILTER so I can manage this and see a list of what I have blocked in the Sync app.

    The disadvantage with this second method is that if I use another app to access lemmy, or my instance, then I will see all the communities that I didn't want.

    Not a big deal as it looks like I will be sticking with the Sync app.

    What gaming books do you recommend?

    As an avid midlife gamer with nostalgic interest in gaming history I enjoy reading gaming books.

    In this picture you can see the gaming books I own. My favorite is "Masters of Doom" followed by "The Ultimate History of Video Games" (I am aware there is a second volume).

    I would like to hear more recommendations from you.

    P. S: Note that PC gaming is my thing therefore it is highly unlikely that I will get a book about consoles or console games.
