    It would be nice to see people engaging with old posts when they stumble across a community and subscribe to it.

    One barrier that will make this difficult is that instances only get a community’s feed from the moment they first subscribe to it, if that community’s home instance is on another server. So if you’re a user on - say - leminal.space and you’re the first person on that server to subscribe to - say - [email protected] then you will not see any of that community’s old posts, only posts created (or boosted) after you’ve subscribed. This makes it difficult to engage with old content unless other people on your instance have been members of that community for much longer.

    This is one of the issues with the fediverse model that doesn’t exist in a centralised model like reddit. And - sadly - smaller, niche communities are the ones most likely to be affected by this limitation, because they’re the ones least likely to be federated to a large number of instances. It makes smaller, less active communities look even more inactive than they actually are.

    Movies:

    • Rebel Moon. If you gave an AI the prompt: “A Star Wars movie written and directed by Zack Snyder but with all Star Wars copyrighted material disguised” this is what you’d get. I know that’s exactly what the movie was, minus the written by AI bit (though I wonder), but it felt almost like a parody of itself.
    • Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Mediocre, except for Patrick Wilson who elevated every soggy line he was given to read. They desperately wanted to recreate the Thor/Loki dynamic to the point where I thought in one scene I actually heard Aquaman call his brother “Loki”.
    • One Life. Schindler’s List if Schindler’s List focused more on the red tape needed to rescue people from the Nazis, and Oskar’s twilight years. Kidding aside, a decent movie, but more on the “worthy” end of the spectrum than the entertaining.
    • Poor Things. The best movie I’ve seen this year. May still be true 51 weeks from now.

    TV:

    • For All Mankind. I enjoyed the “retro” early seasons more, but it’s still a very watchable show, and one I still consider to be a Star Trek prequel if I squint and look at it slightly sideways. They certainly seem to be heading towards a Fundamental Declarations of the Martian colonies scenario this season. One of the few shows I’m watching week-by-week instead of saving up and bingeing.
    • A Murder at the End of the World. Well acted, somewhat slow moving murder mystery. Unfortunately I guessed the identity of the killer after two episodes, and thought both that, and a certain revelation about one of the characters, were overused tropes in the early 2020s.
    • Bodies. Decent crime mini series set across four time periods. I thought the more modern settings and characters were more interesting than the oldey timey (wimey) ones, but the show managed to bring all four storylines together in a pretty satisfying way.
    • Silo. Halfway through. Pretty good, but maybe not as good as I heard it was.
