Any of y’all transfer on over to lemmy? I remember when I first found that subreddit, blew my mind that so many others used Futurama to fall asleep. I had found my people.

I tried searching for a community when I first joined lemmy, admittedly that was only a couple days ago. However, I couldn’t find one. I think I struggle the most with this part of lemmy. The finding of communities feels a bit cumbersome to me and could be an area to improve upon. Don’t get me wrong, never going back to the sinking ship of Reddit. Thank you for sharing the link!

Yeah it's a tricky one to fix because the federated nature of everything means there's probably no instance that has every possible community indexed in search.

That's where tools like browse.feddit.de come in but that's a little bit finicky too and I'm not sure how things get indexed there.

Saw someone was building a more advanced search interface yesterday but I can't remember the URL now, it looked promising though so will come back and update you when I find it!

P.s I didn't post the link as some kind of passive aggressive thing I just thought you'd like to see it 😄

this is blowing my mind i’ve been falling asleep to this show for years and most people say it’s weird. had no clue it’s a thing :’)

I have watched this show so many times. I could just close my eyes with the audio in the background narrating the scenes as I replay them in my mind. It would put me right to sleep haha. Almost like someone reading me my favorite bedtime story as a kid. I think the subreddit had 20k+ members before Reddit died. So we are definitely not alone.

We watch it before bed either to help us fall asleep or to drown out any sex noises. It's conditioned me to either get sleepy or horny when I hear the theme music.

Umm, I didn’t want to say anything about this part of my relationship to Futurama in my first post on Lemmy, but I will confess this is something we do as well. And we suffer the same conditioning haha!

I wonder how many of us are out there...

[–] FrancesTheMute@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am to. We definitely thought we were alone in this one and kept this one to ourselves haha. Means there are likely many others!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There are dozens of us. Dozens!
