Aah I follow ya. As evident in my comment, I tend to pair absurdism with its related philosophy existentialism for something of a grounding effect, personally.
I disagree. Stoicism at its worst may lead to resignation. Absurdism encourages defying the meaninglessness of existence in large part by recognizing meaning is made.
In the face of a cold, uncaring existence, absurdism or existentialism are two great philosophies to employ to reimagine how we want to be in the world and how we want the world to be compared to stoicism, which would reach its limits with and within reason. Absurdism recognizes reason's limits and realizes one needs more than reason alone to persist.
Alongside others mentioned (tags/flairs, multi-communities, keyword filtering, etc.) another feature I'd like to see added/improved is notification settings.
Something like...
In account settings:
For others' posts/comments and per posts/comments:
With those settings you could more easily tune out all notifications or only opt into those you'd like to see, and opt out of those you're done with (say your post/comment got popular and you've had your fill from the replies).
Unrelated to notification settings, it would also be nice to be able to block communities from the front page via the ... More menu in the default web UI.

Ah, the vim part was me trying a little too much to express a short e sound lazily.
It will still raise eyebrows because that’s not how it’s said.
At least not yet, or by enough to recognize that it is (by some, somewhere!). There's bound to be an accent somewhere that pronounces it like this to where the "normal" way sounds strange 😂
Without writing it out like this: (nō-vĕm′bər) or this (nəʊˈvɛmbə) I wasn't sure how to write it and express the varying sounds of the e's in it. Maybe "no-vim-ber" would have been better?
What you’re looking for is difficult to find in the framing of Science Fiction because its very framing invokes technological advancement - technology is the application of science, and machinery is the result of technological innovation.
Machinery's certainly a result of technological innovation, but not the only result. Different materials, even altogether different forms of organisms are also results of technological innovation. OP's left it rather open, so it may be that they also mean these different applications of science.
fwiw this is poking more fun at the other person that said this in reply to you, which is why I spelled it your(s and another person's) way
Hey speaking of, while !games@lemmy.world is a great example, if you're not finding similar communities for your interest, feel free to post over in !general@lemmy.world for what Zombiepirate's describing.
Hobby without a community around here? Just not really sure if an existing community is open to non-news posts? General's got ya covered.
Going against the post's spirit, but...If you're not finding a community for your interests (or only finding abandoned/inactive ones), and don't want to create one (or try to get existing ones going), you're welcome over in !general@lemmy.world. Post about whatever, find likeminded folks, then if ya think there's enough of ya, you can make a separate community without it being one person posting into a void.
Also there's !justpost@lemmy.world. Similar vibes.

@darklightxi@lemmy.world, I see there's an open issue for this, but wanted to add my details here to try to help pin the problem down.
Unlike Eager Eagle, I've run into this problem using HeliBoard as well (and checked with standard Gboard too to be sure, also OpenBoard). In my experience of the issue I suspect it may be related to the UI not responding to the display of the virtual keyboard, which is also an issue that appears when trying to search for posts in specific communities. In both instances UI elements, specifically text input fields, are partially or completely covered by the appearance of the keyboard.
I think some of the difficulty in replicating this may be related to running tests on higher display resolutions (and/or devices with higher display resolutions), and/or with some text/interface settings set to smaller scales instead of default or larger scales. Regardless, inasmuch as possible the UI would benefit from adjustments to be more responsive to the display of virtual keyboards as well as, to a lesser degree, the display of the bottom navigation bar/buttons (for those that don't/can't use gesture navigation depending on OS version).
All that said, really appreciate the app! It's great for browsing, especially with the keyword filter without having to sign-in. Thanks a ton for all the effort from all of those involved!
