Not at all. I mostly just copied the Wikipedia format for languages anyway, and just moved the infoblock to the left. I initially wanted to create a template, but I think every conlang is variable enough that each one is going to need a fresh endeavour anyway.

Hopefully I’ll grow into the space a little before long, but please let me know if there is particular content you’d like to see – or, conversely, that you wish I would stop posting about!

If you’d like to subscribe, I’d appreciate it (it’s free)! Even if you just sign up and filter it off to the bacon folder for now, having some followers will let me figure out how some of it works and what sorts of features are available.

Thanks, this is helpful. That's a little disheartening about the Nazis, but sadly it's hardly even unusual among social media platforms lately. Anyway, I will probe a little more critically.

I’d like to do some cooking/baking stuff, too, but that might have to wait until I have a navigable kitchen. Any other sort of content you’d like to see on there? Any advice from experienced stackers? (3/3)

It seems to be a blend of the better parts of various social media platforms – but I haven’t really got a great sense of how it all works yet. It would probably be mostly #language, #linguistics, & #conlang content; maybe some specific stuff about Valthungian, Europic, and other pet projects. (2/3)

I guess it will be a couple more days before we know if it's going to hit Nova Scotia, or any land at all for that matter. But based on this trajectory, it doesn't seem like it could miss us completely. It would be nice the bulk of it stayed out to sea and we just got some nice, soaking rain.

NB: I have decided that the collective term for 'imp' is an 'impropriety'.

I love a good dad joke! But I'm not a Soc'ul' dad, so as the proverbial dog says, "I guess I'll open this one!"

Do you know any jokes in your conlang(s)? Are they still funny in translation? Drop your best con-side-splitters below!

“Six?” the father exclaimed, “But I only gave you eight pieces in all to share with your brother! Can’t you count?”

“Of course I can count,” the daughter replied. “But he can’t.”

Rough translation:
A father quizzed his young daughter with a math question: “I buy ten pieces of candy and I eat two, then I give you the rest and tell you to split them with your brother. How many pieces of candy do you have left?”

The daughter replied: “Six pieces.”
