Make them better coffee and then don't comment on it until they ask.
Most people seem to connect bitter and strong and it's a hard habit to break out of. People are used to crappy coffee.
Just getting them to a stage where they buy quality beans and grind them fresh is a big leap, but once they reach that baseline you can introduce roast levels.
Unfortunately it's fully supported by the statistics and multiple large channels have tried to get away from the shitty thumbnails, but those videos get significantly less clicks.
We can hate it, but it works.
It has individual good moments but I think it's problem is that it tried to tackle too many plot lines all at once without all of them feeling totally connected.
If it was just about the vinci corruption or just about Vince Vaughns mob, or just about the dealings with the girls being taken to the parties, it would have been a much stronger show. Or just drop one of the storylines and find stronger connections between them. The ensemble cast is good, the forced romance was pretty bad.
The biggest problem in my opinion, and echoed by many others, is that every main character is trying to be Rust. Extremely smart, depressed and just way too philosophical about everything. There was no straight man to cut through the highbrow musings, so every character felt majorly up their own ass. Woody harrelsons character was an important grounding point.
Season 3 goes a different direction and is much stronger for it. It feels closer to season 1 but different enough so it doesn't feel like it's retreading old ground.
I am working on my bachelor's degree in computer networking and I still find Lemmy a pain in the ass to search sometimes.
Communities are too small, fractured and not enough people post. 1% rule and all that
I'm probably wrong but I think because it takes a lot more user effort to navigate Lemmy and find your communities, and those communities can be spread across many instances.
It's just easier for those that are interested in the community around those interests to use something like reddit or a specific forum site.
Lemmy is mostly tech dorks, which isn't a bad thing but that leads to the tech and programming communities dominating the feeds. Also I think people who have been using Lemmy for a while vastly overestimate the appeal of the platform and also tech literacy of the general population. It can feel intimidating and uninviting.
A little intimidating at first but after finding a decent mobile app (connect) and following a few communities I think I'm getting it. The whole federation and indexing is really interesting to me and eventually I could see myself hosting a small instance.
Oolimo, the website and phone app is a great resource for me. It lets you enter notes on a fretboard to identify chords.
