    I agree for the most part. However, in my effort to post content, I've gotten more than a few snarky or mean comments about the quality of the content. I get it if it's not for you but just down vote. You don't need to make the person feel bad for trying to help Lemmy grow.

    Me too! I was walking around the fish market in Seattle and walked right by him. My partner then said "Wasn't that the guy from the car show that you watch?" I doubled back and met him. Just said hello and shook his hand.

    As someone who recently joined, it's been great to see all the books available. A caveat: there are a LOT of rules to follow. They can be difficult to follow if you deviate from the norm, such as using a VPN. They aren't insurmountable but they take time to adjust to.

    One rule that was strange at first: You can't download anything you want right away. You have to earn points first in the community and over time you will gain access to the bulk of the library.
