That’s the general feeling I guess.

Are people even excited for those anymore? It seems like public interest has been less and less present in the last few years (even accounting for COVID)

Well, to be fair this community is much more active than !tolkien@lemmy.world.

Thank you for your contributions, by the way!

Nice meme.

However, couldn’t also Eärendil be considered?

Edit: found another possibility:

Legolas is the geographically-closest “elf-prince” to Erebor, where the coat was found. But it’s made of mithril, and that can’t be found in Erebor.

So it was probably forged in Moria. The mithril was definitely mined there. We don’t know exactly when, but we know Moria bordered not one, but two elf-kingdoms (Lorien and Eregion).

Elrond was Gil-galad’s right hand elf, and probably could have claimed the title of high king after the Last Alliance, although he didn’t. He also lived in Eregion for a while, and met his wife in Lorien. He had two sons, both born well before Moria fell to the balrog.

Conclusion: it was forged either for Elladan or Elrohir. They wore it, outgrew it, and gave it back to Durin’s folk, who then brought it with them into exile.

I appreciate the effort, but what is happening is option 1, aka merging of communities, naturally.

About knowing where to post, you can usually have a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities, search the community name, and have a good idea of which one is the most active.

Sometimes different communities can coexist, and that’s fine. !science@mander.xyz and !science@lemmy.world have different audiences, and that’s okay.

Well, you do you

That graph is insane

Curious to see how this thread will go, as it seems this opinion is indeed unpopular.

I agree with you 100%

A few points I’ve noted in the previous threads

• people confuse defederation and community blocking (in this case, it’s the latter)
• people assume that Lemmy.world is hosted in the US while it’s EU based
• people just feel like they need to announce they are leaving while this is not Reddit, most of the users open an alt and move on with their lives.

Sorry for this, feel free to block all of the communities related to the topics. That should allow smaller ones to come to your feed.

Pictures, food, movies communities are rising, there is hope

Lemmy.world holding such a prevalent place in the Lemmy/Kbin part of the Fediverse makes it a major single point of failure.

They should still be the newcomers instance, but communities and users should migrate to other instances to increase the resilience of the Fediverse.
