I definitely do not miss Reddit (especially what it became, but notably its descent took many years, only culminating in rather than beginning with the protests), but I would miss Lemmy if it disappeared.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

"I miss Call of Duty."
"DUDE, we're IN Call of Duty, and it SUCKS!"
Is that one of the things written on the wall of the safe rooms in Left 4 Dead?
Movie, the remake of Red Dawn.
Expect we're NPCs and the game play is about to get intense
This reminds me of Gone with the Blastwave a little
Thank you! I felt the exact same thing but couldn't remember the name of the comic. Just that it has a grittier artstyle. Time for a reread :D
wow i just read all of those in one sitting

Nah, someone will set up a rack of old raspberry phi running on solar connected to a intranet networks of hacked home routers, just for the lulz
Raspberry Φ? I'm familiar with Raspberry π, which apparently is lowercase, but not Raspberry Phi.
This might be a model not yet released yet. Maybe they are a time traveler in the now of future things.
Sorta a long shot but do you know any books on just general information needed to rebuild a society after it collapses?
The Foxfire magazines are available online to print out and contain all the tutorials for making all the pieces of 1800s and early 1900s tools from scratch, such as hand powered lathes, backyard forges, and so on. There's also How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler, which teaches everything from philosophy and science to medicine and economics. Practically any super hard-core prepper and survivalist guide will help you too. Depending on the flavor of society you're trying to go for, a copy of your ideal society's manifesto - whether Wealth of Nations or Communist Manifesto - would go a long way to crystallizing theory into practice.
Wealth of Nations isn't really a "society manifesto", at least the 1st book. It goes to great lengths to compare and explain how and why things are valued/priced as they are. Hell, there's even a bit where Adam Smith claims the ideal salary should be twice what a man needs to sustain himself and his family, such that the extra money would be used to acquire more goods or services, thus making the economy grow.
Surprisingly based for the supposed founder of capitalism.
If you're only able to save one book, and you don't know how far its going to collapse back to, I'd go with one that is a practical approach instead of a textbook.
I liked the book How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler
I mean, you can download the entirety of Wikipedia onto a flash drive. Excluding pictures and media, it’s less than a terabyte.
run home assistant on it. build an IoT post-apocalyptic base.
If my grandkids are anything like me, I could definitely see this happen
