I'm guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.

Do you have the ability to request new books in your library so that that way you could get things you are into? There's also always shadow libraries.

Dude I had no idea implants for chickens existed that's insane. If I ever got chickens we would be matching.

Heresy but I'd eat them if I had rescue hens that weren't interested in eating them. Would probably feed them back their shells though.

It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instance in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Yeah I assume the reason there isn't is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

Just read reviews?

Woah you were busy

What did everyone read in June? in c/books@lemmy.ml
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've read both but Animal Farm was for school so naturally I didn't like it. 1984 was great not just as an interesting read but to understand all of the cultural (and culture war) references to it.

Kate Mosse: New prize celebrating non-fiction by women will amplify and honour (www.independent.co.uk)
 

Do you think prizes dedicated to certain groups remain useful? Is this prize something you'll be paying attention to or is your TBR pile already full?

Anyone have trouble getting into Oathbringer? (lemmy.world)
 

The WoK was a 5 star read for me, WoR a 3 star and now I'm struggling to get properly into Oathbringer. I think I'm on chapter 10. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get more interesting or am I just not a Sanderson person?

Comment count inaccurate (lemmy.world)
 

Sometimes a post will say on Jerboa that there is one comment but on the post none is visible. Is this a problem with Jerboa? Is it because the commenter may not be federated with my instance? Or is it a problem with Lemmy?

Asking non-Americans to pay in USD (lemmy.world)
 

Currently in Egypt and they just asked us to pay in USD cash for an added activity but, not being American, we don't have USD. We have the local currency and the ability to get that out at ATMs, but no way to access foreign currency. So annoying but they accepted local in the end.

What do you want to see in this community that differs from other book communities? (lemmy.world)
 

How would you like to see this place differ from Reddit/TikTok/YouTube etc. as a place to talk about books?

Beehaw defederation means this is now the largest book sublemmy accessible (lemmy.world)

Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before Literature@beehaw.org was. I guess we'll have to make the most of it!
