More than a decade ago, this was the canonical pirate video for the English speaking Internet:

Where I live on the west-coast of Canada, alleys are dirty and disgusting. Most people don't go into the alleys. I think this is common is a lot of cities in Canada and the U.S.
In Korea however, alleys tend to be clean and utilized.
Here is a photo of a Korean alley in Hapjeong (합정) in the Gangbuk (강북) area in Seoul in Korea from October 2019:
Some Lemmy servers on the threadiverse seem to have a theme (and are not general generic servers).
For example, https://programming.dev/ focuses on (computer) programming and other highly technical topics related to (computer) programming.
I think for a themed server, they would probably want to pick and choose which communities from other Lemmy (or Kbin) servers they syndicate to their home-page or wherever (in addition to their local communities).
I do think syndicating communities from other servers is beneficial — but I don't think just all or nothing is a good approach.
I think Lemmy should let Lemmy sysops pick and choose which remote communities they syndicate on their home-feed or wherever.
Korea has an Uber like service called: Tada (타다).
The photo is of a Tada (타다) vehicle which drove by while I was in Korea in November 2019.
Is that one of the versions of the Neca street diorama?

(I could not to reply to it directly. So writing this as a separate post.)
Back in October 2019, after becoming aware of Korean fortune tellers — I became curious about them, and investigated them a bit.
(I go to Korea frequently. For example, I just got back from Korea 2 days ago.)
I think some of these Korean fortune tellers function as a kind of therapist.
I took notes about Korean fortune tellers (back then).
I posted my notes elsewhere at the time. I'll re-post them here:....
Fortune Tellers seem to be popular in some parts of Korea with some individuals.
Not everyone sees them, or believes in their powers. But many seem too.
For those Koreans who believe in the power in Fortune Tellers…
Some see their Fortune Teller whenever they are worrying about something.
While others might only see a Fortune Teller for a special event.
For example: figuring out a “good” date for a wedding ceremony.
I suspect these Korean Fortune Tellers often function as a kind of Therapist.
Although mixed with supernatural aspects.
These Fortune Tellers have books they consult.
I think there may be economic incentives to focus on negative aspects of the customer's life, which keeps customers returning for more sessions.
So perhaps something else these Fortune Tellers have in common with Therapists.
These Korean Fortune Tellers tend to be single unmarried women.
Apparently the Fortune Teller being single & unmarried is important for their powers for some reason. Something to do with their “third eye”.
From what I was told, being a Fortune Teller is quite lucrative, so there are economic pressures (i.e., “golden handcuffs”) for these Korean Fortune Teller women to remain single & unmarried.
Although there are some married (female) Korean Fortune Tellers.
And there are even some male Korean Fortune Tellers.
So although most Korean Fortune Tellers are single unmarried women. Not all are.
These Korean Fortune Tellers often give out yellow piece of paper.
They are talisman
In Korean: “bujeog” (부적)
What I was told was that the Korean Fortune Teller puts “mojo” into the yellow paper.
And a Fortune Teller can put more (or less) “mojo” in these yellow papers.
This is what (some of) the Korean fortune tellers books, that they consult when giving a fortune telling, look like.
This particular (male) Korean fortune teller did not give any talisman. Just provided the fortune telling.
There are Korean fortune teller locations all over the place in Seoul.
I don't know if all locations are like this, but this particular location looked like a restaurant inside.
The process at this Korean fortune teller location seemed to be:…
• customers comes inside & has seat at a table,
• customers order drinks,
• fortune teller eventually comes over and tells the fortune of everyone at the table.
You pay like at a regular restaurant.
There is a Dinosaur Park (공룡공원) for kids in Daegu (대구) in Korea.
It has a number of different animatronic dinosaurs. You will see a giant Brachiosaurus as you walk towards the Dinosaur Park. And, as you walk through the park, will see many other animatronic dinosaurs — including Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus. There are also a number of non-animatronic dinosaurs — including a pair of Pachycephalosaurus. A more.
The answer is going to depend on where the videos are coming from.
Are these videos (you want to mirror) —
I had no idea that !korea@lemmy.funami.tech existed until you posted about it.
I am in Korea regularly. I joined the community.
