In my attempt to generate activity in this community, I am sharing the latest additions to my collection.

The first Criminal Deluxe volume is arriving next week. I was just impatient to post. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seeing people posting their collections or hauls in r/graphicnovels was a joy so it saddens me that this community still didn't kickoff. So here I am posting my collection in an attempt to get things started.

As you can see I have a varied taste, so my collection is diverse. I have many favorites but the writer I like the most is Alejandro Jorodowsky. As for the artist there are many good but the one that got me truly impressed recently was Sana Takeda (Monstress).

In general I don't get superheros stuff but there are clear exceptions in this picture.

I have an unread pile but opted to post only the ones I have read.

I look forward for recommendations, your comments and hopefully seeing others sharing their collections.

PS: Some books titles are in Spanish, feel free to ask me if you are curious about their title in English.

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.
