One last thing: how do I add stuff like whether the community is 18+? And I categorized a Reddit subreddit but the corresponding Fediverse community remains uncategorized. How do I fix that?

You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think "site:github.com fediverser") and didn't find you. I'm lucky you were here today.

I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says "Recommended Subreddit" and not "Recommended Community".
Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended Subreddit Community, or if it'll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).
You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

I'll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I've seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.

Oh hey, on fanaticus.social! I discovered that a little while ago and I am glad people are putting sports communities on the sports instance. I understand the importance of decentralization and that it is good to have several communities about the same thing on different servers, but I first found an MLB community somewhere totally elsewhere than the sports instance, so it pleases me to see someone using the sports instance for sports. I like the idea of interest category instances, like how programming has programming.dev and lots of communities that have to do with programming (such as different ones for different programming languages, for funny stuff, etc.).
I don't know much about the things your chosen communities are about, unfortunately, so sorry I cannot really help or post. Except…
A post on r/NFL that stuck with me was the one where they go through all the mascots and find out which teams have fewer fans than the thing they are named after, with count of fans guessed based off something like Facebook likes. Maybe I'll do something like that but for college football. I also remember a video on YouTube ranking some kind of team (forget what sport) by how much their mascot would weigh. Although that might be a bit high-effort for someone like me who doesn't have much interest in football. Now I'm thinking of that MLB post with the names of the MLB teams if they went by the name of the most common animal in their… region? home state? and spoiler alert it was all ants.

The content/users aren't here so I'm stubbornly trying to post content and comment whenever I can.
Even if I shout into the void, or get a few upvotes and little other engagement.
Although I understand it's not for everyone, I encourage you to help out with that ;-;

Started !citiesskylines@lemmy.ml, still playing Stardew Valley (I went up 100 hours in about a month!), and still slowly progressing on My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom -Pirates of the Disturbance- as I yell about on the !otomegames@kbin.run weekly threads. I have also been trying various !incremental_games@incremental.social, including a billion bananas and Squareixion.
For transparency, just a subscriber on most of those communities, but I do mod !otomegames@kbin.run.
Personally found the background music very distracting, I suggest muting the video. Finally, my plight of looking for "jumping bunnies" "hopping bunnies" "jumping bunny" and other permutations of that phrase on YouTube and only turning up with [this one great video](https://youtu.be/RlveKVGw0fY) which I've seen a million times, children's songs, and videos that contain bunnies but very few/no hops is done. My search has turned up a video of bunnies hopping that isn't the one I've already seen a million times.

How/where did you learn PHP? I've been thinking of learning to try to contribute to Mbin.
I also know very little about networking.

Probably 2 or 3. Posting them for the benefit of people reading this:
Fun fact about buns #2: A bun's ears are so powerful, they're sensitive to radio & satellite signals! This enables them to watch TV with their minds!
Fun fact about buns #3: Buns are incredibly intelligent! So intelligent, that they've engineered for themselves rocket-booster shoes! This is what enables buns to hop very long distances!
Pretty out there but still distinctly connected to some known thing about rabbits.
Now that I think about it, I have not actually read Watership Down but I think I heard somewhere about its bunnies only being able to count to 4 or something. Fact #A feels like a fun move in the opposite direction.

Part of what makes me nervous about issue creation is if I'll get asked for examples of the issue, because I don't want my GitHub linked back to my Fediverse account.
I really should just go make another GitHub account so I can do this worry-free!

I love how the bun facts started out somewhat related to peoples' ideas about bunnies and now they're just way out in left field.

Hey, I remember your name from kbin.social and I have not seen you in awhile, nice to see you're still up and kicking on the Fediverse.
I just lucked out. As soon as I figured out what I was doing I wanted off of the flagship instance to help with decentralization, went to kbin.cafe whose admin abandoned it so I went to kbin.run, and kbin.run happened to make the switch to Mbin.

I have seen a few people with both Mbin and Mastodon accounts. From what I have seen so far, Mbin can post to Mastodon and see some Mastodon posts, but it is… rough. Link posts not sending the body out, for one. Making a Mastodon post from Mbin goes correctly without a title and displays like a microblog on Mbin and Mastodon, but on Lemmy it makes a whole new thread for that microblog with the first few words as title. Until Mbin integration with Mastodon improves (and Lemmy integration with Mastodon too, because Mbin federates out to Lemmy too) I can see getting yourself a separate Mastodon account to talk with the much higher number of people there as well.

I'm a US citizen myself. I don't begrudge people the right to talk about things affecting their lives in an appropriate space (maybe don't post US politics in "non-political memes" lol). However, I also thought I'd empathize with the person I replied to and provide my method of keeping US politics out of my feed, seeing as they don't want to see it. Wanting to avoid certain material yourself ≠ calling out others for making it or wanting to consume it themselves, although I can definitely see how the person I replied to might be more on the "calling out" side than just on the "avoidance" side (not 100% sure of their intent!).
I can tell you that for me, it's because a lot of online discussion of politics tends to encourage me to doomscroll and makes me feel bad in a way news articles don't, so I try to keep my Fediverse feeds politics-free. I stay informed elsewhere. I understand the need to vent out frustration! Things suck sometimes! But I also understand wanting to avoid seeing that kind of stuff, whether your reason is like mine or more akin to "I'm not interested in this and my feed is full of it."

You'll never wholly escape it without only sticking to Subscribed in my opinion. In comes something from ADHDmemes, oh look, complaint about medication accessibility, in a way specific to the United States of America's healthcare system. Any post where people might complain about a serious issue probably has someone attributing the problem or an underlying problem to some political/government thing in the USA, and complaint/miseryposts are not solely limited to USA Politics communities. If you do manage to combat it mostly by just blocks, hats off to you.

A lot of what I wanted to post already got put here, but Bunhouse isn't here yet.
Normally would not blatantly advertise but the Fediverse is so tiny and so is !otomegames@kbin.run. r/otomegames is lovely, but they are non-Fediverse and I'd love to be able to talk to people here about otome instead of having to run back to Reddit. (Used to post at !otomegames@kbin.social until kbin.social went down.)
Most likely screams of happiness, according to the comments.
Especially stuff not mentioned in the tutorial, or that isn't intuitive at all. If it is relevant, I just hit Worthy Village (the one you get after schools/healthcare/garbage/taxes) and saved and quit to go eat dinner. I've enjoyed my time so far.
I assume !newcommunities@lemmy.world is for just that, and promoting new instances is unacceptable there. Where is an appropriate place to advertise a new instance? Asking for one that is not my own. Decentralization is cool and I literally just found out about the existence of https://fanaticus.social/, a sports instance, from checking the !olympics@sh.itjust.works sidebar. I'd like to help this sports instance get attention and bolster its existing communities. I don't know where to go besides finding big preexisting sports communities and mentioning its existence there.
I'm currently holding off on buying it because it's the kind of game that will eat up my life in a way I just don't have time for right now, and I figure the price will drop or it'll go on a better sale than it has been on before by the time I have time to play. Also worth mentioning spoiler formatting: ``` ::: spoiler Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3: Something Happens This paragraph talks about something that happened at the end of the game! This paragraph also talks about something that happened at the end of the game! ::: ``` appears as ::: spoiler Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3: Something Happens This paragraph talks about something that happened at the end of the game! This paragraph also talks about something that happened at the end of the game! ::: for both Kbin and Lemmy folks, though if you are on an app there is a chance it won't display properly for you as [some Lemmy apps don't implement this](https://lemmy.world/comment/11514952).

Also need to post something here to give it activity in the last 7 days so I can list it on active communities at [!newcommunities](/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world).
I probably should not have been laughing when the bunnies fought and the person put an object between them to stop it and started massaging the two against each other. I blame the background music.

I normally wouldn't blatantly advertise like this on a community for the same purpose, having two different communities to increase diversity and have a safe place for people to go to in case one community's instance goes down is great, but otome is pretty niche especially on the Fediverse, this is a rather inactive community with more subscribers than an active otome community, and I'd like to talk otome without having to go back to Reddit (r/otomegames is lovely, nothing against them, just want to make the full break from Reddit which is *hard* when some niche communities don't have a decent following off of it). The last post here has been from a lovely person who subscribes to !otomegames@kbin.run, and before them a 9-month old post. I am aware the community is fairly new, but I also used to post on !otomegames@kbin.social (on kbin.social) until I found out it was having federation issues that might not get fixed, so I opened a new one. But I have a record of actual activity on the Fediverse and otome posting (though I dropped off due to lack of activity on kbin.social, not realizing it was partially due to nobody seeing it—some posts can only be seen if you go to https://kbin.run/otomegames@kbin.social, and apparently not just due to the "nobody is subscribed so of course it didn't federate" issue), so you can likely trust I'll keep posting on this new community too.
Otome games are video games targeted towards women, where a female protagonist can romance male love interests as a major part of the game. :::spoiler Why you might recognize this community I've been posting over at !otomegames@kbin.social (at kbin.social), even advertising it here, until someone pointed out they couldn't see any posts unless they went to https://kbin.run/m/otomegames@kbin.social. I checked and kbin.social has been down for a long while. I deleted the advertisement, made a community on kbin.run (which has been steadily running ever since I joined it about a year ago, and others have let me know they can see my posts), and now here I am advertising the kbin.run version! ::: !otomegames@kbin.run [Alternate link](/c/otomegames@kbin.run). For any other Kbin/Mbin users browsing that want to advertise a community, the link I used here is `/c/otomegames@kbin.run`, not `/m/otomegames@kbin.run`.
Mod has not touched their Lemmy account in 11 months. I would like to eventually hand it over to someone willing so long as they keep it about bunny rabbits, but as for now… I'm active and post a decent amount, including on !bunnies@lemmy.world, and have done so for awhile.
!bunnies@lemmy.world (bunnies@lemmy.world) has one mod who has not touched their account in 11 months. How do I request ownership/mod of the community? Also, is there anywhere to solicit mods from? I mostly want it because I know I am active, and would be interested in turning it over to someone else as soon as I find someone who wants to, and who will keep it actually bunny rabbits instead of turning it into a NSFW for Playboy Bunnies.
Comic [here](https://xkcd.com/1682/).
!bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org [/c/bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org](/c/bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org) Community name is a reference to [this](https://xkcd.com/1871/) comic. *As far as I can tell* (not a mod there), it seems to be different from this community by intending to be for only pictures of real bunnies, and not just anything bunny-related? And even if I am wrong, well, great to have two bunny communities on different instances in case something ever happens to one of the instances. lemmy.world is big and we want to *de*centralize on the Fediverse instead of having everything on one big main instance. I am subscribed to both now!
