Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from June 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Konting kembot na lang and we're at 1k subscribers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It’s actually more of we’ve probably passed it already. You only see how many people from the same instance subscribe to the communities you’re in. Not sure how to check the total (how many are subscribed from all instances) though.

To all workers (WFH'ers, digital nomads, normal workers, etc.), students, and anyone who really just wants to have a more chill study/work environment,

I've come across lofi.co, which has a free version, a paid ($2.99) version, which basically offers you more visual stuff to help calm you down.

If you're tired of staring at Lo-Fi girl or Synthwave boy on Newpipe/Vanced and want a change of scenery, this is probably a good way to go. Try it free first, and I'd like also suggestions if anyone knows a few good sites/apps similar to this.

Have a chill evening mga Phlemmings, may we all find that sweet spot of chilness in our respective corners of the globe.

EDIT: Link. Also thanks 8rhn6t6s!

EDIT 2: Apparently you can use playlists from spotify too and you can choose between Jazz, Chill or Sleep themed playlists. Sadly, sound effects are limited to around 3 or 4 with the free version.

Ang late night thoughts ko ay ang panget ko sa passport ko πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ tapos yung camera pa nila pang dlsr pa pero auto pindot lang. Kinda seems like a waste for its usage, sana magandang quality webcam na lang gamit nila. Ang clunky at heavy pa just to mount it on the side of a wall. It looks out of place.

Malay ko ba Pilipinas. Parang pagod na rin ako, migrate na lang tayo. I've been learning german lately, might be useful in the future πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

same here. mukha rin akong siopao sa ibang govt issued ids ko. why do their cameras have that rounding/flattening effect? or sadyang iyan talaga ang katotohanan. hahahaha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a bad combination of using a camera lens with a wider focal length and the distance of the camera to the subject. Yung national ID ko papunta na sa fisheye lens distortion.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What smells nice but tastes horrible?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Bar soap. No please don't try to eat it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Car air fresheners and mothballs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Everything from Lush

Also, apparently Armie Hammer needs to know this, but yeah people smell nice but taste horrible (PSA: Cannibalistic tendencies are a big boo-boo)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Those perfumes that smell like cherry or apple.

I can't think of a food item that smells nice but tastes horrible.

Maayong buntag pud. Ngano igang gihapon kaayo bisan buntag sayo?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maayong buntag sad kanimo! Katawa nga bisag lain-lain ang atong Binisaya diri, nagsinabutay ta.

(Forgive me if I've mangled my sentences, it's been a terribly long time since I've I had practice in that language.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sinabi ko from my previous message na kahit na Twitter is getting worse, it won't make me return to FB. Then Meta re-announced Threads again. Ok, I'll consider it.

If I can move from Reddit to Lemmy, I can do it again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Anyare sa dating welcome post?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's still available both in lemmy.world and lemm.ee. I don't know about other instances, but since this community is in lemmy.world, and the post is still there, it should still be accessible for all instances federated with lemmy.world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's still there. I just unpinned it and restored the original title because it was initially intended to be a welcome wagon for rexxitors.

I made a new version that's more of a neutral welcome kit and reference material for anyone that joins. Not sure if I'll keep it locked or reopen it for people to say hi or something.

Ewan ko kung gaganahan akong manood ng newest episode ng Geography Now (USA na yung newest upload nila), lalo na't kagagaling ko lang sa call center job ko, being paid to speak with Americans for my entire shift. Pero good thing ngayon is avail kami today kasi nga Independence Day nila.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

to those planning to move their accounts, try niyo rin smaller instances. i have an account in group.lt and wayfarershaven.eu. have not checked their blocklists but i have been able to subscribe to a lot of communities. never had a problem with lags etc.
