Welcome to COVID Corvid!

This community's here to be an index of all the interesting things to do online while you're stuck at home in isolation.

Membership to this community is moderated to ensure that no spammers join the community, so please be patient once you request permission to join.

We're going to be pretty laid back here. There are only few rules:

1. Please post your link as a comment on the proper category's post and only on that post. For example, concert links should go under the post for concerts, and animal/zoo streaming links should go under the animal/zoo post. If something fits into multiple categories, please feel free to submit it under each category separately.

You do NOT need to use all the lines in the text boxes if you don't need to do so. The template is there simply to make it easier for everyone to add links.

If you want to request a category be added, please feel free to drop a comment here and the mods will add it ASAP. (Current categories to be added: music/video playlists)

2. Please check to ensure that the link you want to share hasn't already been shared. The point of this community is to not only consolidate links of things to do online to keep yourself amused, but also to reduce the amount of repeated links. The only exception to this is if something fits into two or more separate categories.

3. Please do not add sites that require people to log in with credentials.

4. Please keep all links PG-13 or lower. (i.e. no realistic violence, gore, nudity, sex scenes, etc.) Links involving artistic nudity are acceptable, but please ask the mods to add a content note to that category so people are forewarned.

5. If you have made an account to join this community and comment, you must have an account that is at least 2 weeks old. Further restrictions may be added if spammers become a problem. Also, please note that this community is set to screen all comments from non-members to reduce spam. If you wish to participate, please join the community so the mods don't need to unscreen your comments. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

*one of the mods waves howdy*

I love the name of this community, by the way XD

[worlds_of_smoke]

I swear to GOD, the number of times I have to go back and correct myself.... XD

[ex_flameandsong751]

Saaaaame tho.

[alexseanchai]

I mean the idea is so COVID isolation doesn't murder us all…

[ex_flameandsong751]

Yes, we need a conspiracy of fun, or even a parliament, so we don't get murdered...

[worlds_of_smoke]

XD

[ex_flameandsong751]

Ooh, also idea for category: playlists and/or music recs!

[worlds_of_smoke]

oooh. I'll add it! (ftr, you should be able to just go in and edit the post. ;))

[flowersforgraves]

would love to see a category for free games (either temporarily free or always free)!

[flowersforgraves]

/o\ whoops, totally missed that you already had it planned! would you mind making a books category too? and was also wondering if tabletop games should go under a separate category.

[worlds_of_smoke]

No worries!

I will totally add a book/story category!

[jesse_the_k]

Brilliant idea -- is it okay to repost links that I've put on my journal so they're centralized?


(Jeez louise Jesse, that's kinda the point, eh?)

[worlds_of_smoke]

Absolutely! :)

[ex_flameandsong751]

I think it should be OK! :) We're currently working on different posts for different categories, so please bear with us if a category isn't up yet.

[worlds_of_smoke]

yeah, it's definitely a good thing to pull as many links in as possible, regardless of where they were first posted. :)

[ex_flameandsong751]

Linkses, we wants them precioussssss yesssssss...

But yeah, the more links we have, the more stuff there is for people to do.

Organizational Suggestion: Repeat category in title and body

[jesse_the_k]

If you use the SUBJECT feature to name each post's contents, then DW will create a handy list of these categories in the "Recent Posts" module. It will also make the categories easier to see when skimming down the page at the H3 level.

For example, for
https://covid-corvid.dreamwidth.org/2325.html
you could edit the post title to read ONLINE CHAT & COMMUNITY SERVERS

Re: Organizational Suggestion: Repeat category in title and body

[worlds_of_smoke]

I don't have the recent posts module turned on for the community's style because I fucking despise that module with the power of 1,000 burning suns. But I'll go back and put it into posts, just in case people choose to view this in their own styles.

Re: Organizational Suggestion: Repeat category in title and body

[jesse_the_k]

COOL!

[alexseanchai]

re PG-13: I have eighteen virtual museum links I need to check for free/paid and whatnot. (read: the Baring the Aegis blog has etc.) Ancient Greek sculpture being itself, I am 100% confident there's nude statuary in most to all of those. I'm pretty sure I'm okay to post those links, but I want to check.

also could this post double as a list of category posts? (oh hey, the top post is art, that's obviously where symphonies go! —wait)

[worlds_of_smoke]

I'll actually pop into that post and re-categorize it as visual art and add a content note that artistic nudity might be present, and I'll clarify the rule here. Problem will be solved then. :)

[alexseanchai]

excellent, thanks!
