So you're on lemmy.ca. But lemmy.ca does not know every single community that is made anywhere in the fediverse, because the creation of a new community is not automatically broadcast.
If a user on lemmy.ca accesses the new community, THEN all of a sudden lemmy.ca knows about it. But it doesn't download all the old posts, it only gets the posts that are made after lemmy.ca found out about it.
So probably 5 months ago someone made the most recent post on yoga@lemmy.world, then a couple months after that someone on lemmy.ca heard about it and subscribed. But nobody posted anything to yoga@lemmy.world since then, so lemmy.ca's view of yoga@lemmy.world has nothing on it.
lolz I saw that! Shishi's doing his claw-hand thing and then he's like: wait, I guess I gotta put my fists down. I think it got him off-stride and cost him the bout!

If anyone wants to start posting there, take a look at:
the first "library of congress" link there leads to newspaper scans of roughly 9000 comics (with many duplicates), you just have to screencap, trim, and upload. There are several other links besides that.
You're free to make a new community if you want, but there are a couple things you could try first.
- you could contact the admins of the community instance and ask them if you can take over the dead community. A lot of times they'll say yes, and they just make you the mod. If the community is on lemmy.world you can just go to the !support@lemmy.world community and make a post saying "requesting (name of the community)" and they'll get back to you.
- another thing you could do is ask about it on the !comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com (e: fixed link) community. That's where people point out dead communities and talk about how to bring them back. you may find other people who want to help you, or they may suggest another alternative like a better instance to start it on, or an existing community that is thriving
Once you've taken over a community, you should make sure it doesn't just die again. post there regularly and advertise it on the following locations:
- !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
- !newcommunities@discuss.online
- !newcommunities@lemmy.world
- any existing community that's kinda related, or has folks you think will like it Make sure you post and advertise it during times when a lot of people are on, so folks who browse "new" will see it.
Good luck! Feel free to ask around if you need more help!
Same, I found another copy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJTv-92-yc4

Thx, that's very interesting, I see it now too but I didn't when I first made this post. I wonder if it got caught in some kind of queue or something that held it up for 24 hours.
Anyway thanks for the report, I'll just delete the older one.
Hi, someone else here, noting that even after the update you're not guaranteed that a thumbnail will propagate.
Consider:
On the default web client, you should see thumbnails for the youtube videos on the first two links, but not on the third. There are various reasons for this, here's an earlier investigation.
On some phone apps I think all 3 of those links resolve to your instance. Clients/apps handle things differently, and some even fetch their own thumbnails!
Finally, everything is evolving: instance servers are reconfigured, versions are updated, clients change, hosting servers change the way they do things, youtube changes things on its end, etc. So it's a bit of a moving target.
Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century is the movie for this Sunday's "monsterdon" watch party over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling!
- Just start watching that movie this Sunday, March 16, 2025 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT / 6pm PT
- and follow #monsterdon over on mastodon for live commentary. For example, you can follow that hashtag here: https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon
- I usually open two web browser windows on a computer side-by-side. But you could follow the mastodon commentary on a phone app while watching the movie on TV or something.

While RKO and Universal Pictures battled over King Kong's rights, Dino De Laurentiis—the producer of the 1976 King Kong remake—announced another giant monster film which would be filmed in the Himalayas, entitled Yeti. Although his version ended up not being made, this film was a low-budget cash in on De Laurentiis' project, which aimed to beat it to theaters....
In a contemporary review, Maurizio Porro of the Corriere della sera was most negative, writing that "[t]he film was shot on such a low budget (the rudimentary effects are accomplished through obvious image superimpositions) that in comparison, the Taviani brothers look like Cecil B. DeMille. But it is not the only issue: [...] the story and screenplay are completely missing. Mystery and suspense are absent, whereas ridiculousness is in full effect, dominating the proceedings."

Reposting bc the original post didn't federate for some reason?!
That Jack Chick parody made my day... Also reminds me of the independent short-film version of that story, Dark Dungeons.
Mods might be able to look the other way if lemmy is promoted, but not if obvious brigading happens.
Was hyped to see the Aonishiki-Shishi bout picked as the top fight! (I had tried staying up to watch it live but unfortunately collapsed around midnight...) ofc I was rooting for Shishi bc I followed him for longer and also bc his Ukrainian name is Serhii which is their version of Sergio! So feelz bad that he lost... but Aonishiki is one hell of a talent! Unfortunately sounds like the crowd is turning against Shishi's pre-tachiai actions, wonder how he's going to handle that. ~~I hope he bounces back from this!~~ Also worth noting that Aonishiki is still pretty young, he only turns 21 this month.

The top sumo wrestlers in Japan compete every other month in tournaments that last two weeks. The March tournament just started a couple days ago, and for the rest of the tournament I plan to post daily links to recap videos. You're welcome to come join and discuss and/or ask questions.
Imagine two linebackers crashing against each other but they have no padding and they're allowed to do judo throws and there's a priest urging them on. That's basically sumo.
Americans tend to think of sumo as a funny thing, but in reality it's a quasi-religious endeavour. The wrestlers live communally in a highly stratified environment training daily, and the referees perform shinto-derived rituals before and after the day's matches. The wrestlers gain weight to make them harder to push, but underneath that weight they are all muscle.
Anyway check it out!

ikr? I don't mind grim stuff but I got a kind of techbro triumphalist (disguised as cautionary) vibe from the episodes I watched. I don't remember much about them tho.
