I love Love is War. Objectively speaking, it’s slow-burn as hell but it does not bog down or tire you because it focuses on other characters rather than centralized to the two main characters. I mean, we have Chika and Miyuki’s “mother-son” relationship; Kaguya and Ishigami’s “sibling” relationship; Miyuki and Ishigami’s “best bro” relationship; and Kaguya and Hayasaka’s “sisters” relationship. And it has some gut punches too (S2E11 flashbacks).

For the movie, it’s solid and it definitely gives a good payoff for both Kaguya and Miyuki’s mind games. I definitely recommend you check it out!

The only show that had made me laughing so hard since Love is War gotta be KonoSuba but that’s another type of comedy different from Love is War’s brand of comedy. And hey, don’t forget to take a look at the dub! Dub’s a different beast, especially Ian Sinclair’s portrayal of the narrator.

Lemmings?

You can access and comment in Lemmy from kbin, but I’m not sure if you can do the same for Mastodon. But Mastodon users can certainly use their accounts to comment on Lemmy. The beauty of the fediverse (or threadiverse, as some guys like to call it)

As a fellow noob, take what I’ll say with a grain of salt, but my understanding of the servers is that think of them like this:

• Servers (i.e., Beehaw, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world etc) are “continents”
• Communities (i.e., AskLemmy) are “countries”

Every “country” is located in a “continent”. So AskLemmy “country” is located on the lemmy.ml “continent”. Users also have a home “continent”, that is where you sign up. So for example, you signed up for Beehaw, therefore you “live” in the Beehaw “continent”. I signed up here in lemmy.ml, so I live in the lemmy.ml “continent”.

Now if you sign up at Beehaw or in any other server, you can “travel” to the other “continents” (servers) and visit the “countries” (communities) that have their home base there and participate there too. So you, for example, can participate here in AskLemmy, which is located on the lemmy.ml “continent”. Sometimes your home “continent” issues a “travel ban” on particular “continents”, therefore you cannot visit that “continent” or the “countries” in them.

Now what the hell is kbin? Think of Kbin as another “planet”. They are fundamentally different from our “planet” (which is Lemmy), but residents from that “planet” can visit our planet and participate as well via a spaceship infrastructure known as ActivityPub.

Sorry if I used geography terms to illustrate my point. There’s a lot of nuance removed, but I think I got it nailed down based on my understanding. Take it with a grain of salt though.

I’d like an optimization for Jerboa as well as more customization for our accounts. Jerboa is fine as it is functional, but sometimes text boxes just extend all the way to the edge of the screen and makes it not visually appealing. I’m still learning though as I’m currently figuring out how to visit the communities in the other servers.

As for communities, I just hope that a mass migration of even 10% of Reddit’s disappointed users would help boost the growth of Lemmy communities and help make niche communities thrive. I personally am a subscriber to the writing and anime subreddits, so I hope there’ll be similar communities here.
