I’ll go first. I wish Lemmy communities existed for: destroyed tanks. Ukraine War video report. sopranos duckposting. benzodiazepines.

I will comment more as I think of them.

    It’s really not possible unless Lemmy gets a much larger community, but the thing I miss most about Reddit are episode discussions for TV shows. For almost any show, I could be pretty confident that I’d be able to find a post-watch episode discussion. Those are great for seeing how people felt about the episode or to learn things I may have overlooked.

      Yeah I always like to browse those too. You could start a community/post about the shows you’re following. I’m thinking of starting something for The Boys, since it’s starting now (maybe HotD too?)

        Well if you do start one for The Boys I’ll prioritize watching the new season asap so I can contribute to the discussions. It looks like it’s already started last week, actually.

        As for HotD, I can’t help ya there. After the last couple seasons of GoT I lost interest in that world. A shame, as I loved it while they still had books to follow.

          I will create a community somewhere soon (will look in lemmyverse.net and pick a nice instance other than lemmy.world :p), and leave you another comment when it’s ready, so you can subscribe :)

          What they did to GoT after season 4 (probably my favorite; the Oberyn plot is just so good) is nothing short of a crime 🙃 Seasons 5 and 6 still have some good episodes and plot lines, but the lack of source material starts showing. Season 7 takes a deep dive and 8 just disappears into the void. It’s depressing to think about.
          Still, I love the world too much and heard good things about it after a couple of episodes were out, so I decided to give it a try, and loved it. It’s very well done from a more “technical” standpoint (as was GoT, even in later seasons), but the writing is also pretty good. Give it a shot!

            Yeah, I’m sure I’ll eventually get over my disappointment at what the showrunners did to the original and will be in the right headspace to watch other GoT content, but not yet. I still can’t believe what they did to that formerly-beloved show. 😉

            Anyway, I just saw your other comment. I’ll subscribe right away and will start the new season this week a so as to contribute to the discussion. Thanks for doing that!

              No problem! I’ve created separate posts for all episodes, so feel free to chime in as you watch them :)
