Can do. I’m trying to see if it’s my device, or something else before I report. 9/10 times, it ends up being something local that’s the problem, and I’m just now installing on other devices.
I tend to do all my fediverse stuff on one old-ish tablet, so I’ve learned to check before bothering devs lol
Good to see!
Side note: interstellar seems to be borked currently
Edit: wasn’t the app.
It has definitely been a goal. How far they’ll get with legislators against them, I dunno. But it’s what Pinchai and the people in control wanted because they think it’s part of what made Apple powerful
Please, no.
He is such a douche bag, and a lot of his fan base is too.
Nah, man, it was working in both directions for a while. I wanna say at least as far back as 2019 for sure, because I got blocked by accident by someone I know irl, and couldn’t see their stuff when logged in, nor could they see mine
I wouldn’t say it looks bad tbh. Very simple for sure, but that’s not a bad thing
Not the way I’ve ever had avocado toast.
Are there a lot of differences out there that I haven’t run across? Legit, I’ve never gone looking for regional variations or whatever.
The first way I had it was so good I haven’t changed it significantly. Avocado, chunked up and gently mashed with some lime, salt, pepper, and sometimes finely diced onion. A poached egg or two on top. All that on toasted rye.
Sometimes we’ll swap out the rye for homemade sourdough. Sometimes we’ll add some minced garlic to the avocado, and/or sprinkle some paprika on the egg.
Basically, it dresses up the avocado without fully turning it into guacamole.
Eh, anonymity is great for some things, less so in others.
But burner emails are pretty much as anonymous as it gets on the fediverse. If you pick a random user name and cycle to a new account fairly often, you’re anonymous to other users. A VPN mostly anonymizes you from the instances.
Being real though, that’s kinda dickish to the instances because you’re wasting the tiny bit of resources used to create accounts. If you do it often enough to really anonymize, it adds up.
I mean, if it gets solved, leaving it up would be better, particularly if the reason for it is something that might happen to someone else
Mastodon on my pen name.
Piefed for the hell of it.
Used to use one of the “key” forks, but the instance I was on shut down, and I never went back.
Haven’t really bothered with the rest because they don’t fit any needs, and tend to be based around things that aren’t my personal interests enough to use regularly. Peertube, I’ll never put videos up, but I use it when other people link to it.
That’s really it. I don’t want/need the kind of services friendica is for, nor whatever the name of the Instagram clone is, and loops is totally not my thing.
I don’t have anything against them, mind you, I just don’t use those kind of platforms
Dammit. Not fair at all, now I gotta unzip and do it again.
I know I’m getting banned from this preschool this time
Definitely sounds more like a pixelfed use case.
But, any instance can work, just communicate with the admins and make sure it’s cool, then create a community and set it to mod only posting. My cousin used to do that, and it worked fine.
There’s a couple of communities set up like that as well.
Generally, you won’t look like you’re spamming posts, unless you’re spamming posts. Like, set yourself a time limit between posts, and spread them out.
or do single posts via topic on your personal C/, and include related links/media as comments the way forums did stickied posts for things. Helps keep from reposting stuff too, since you can scroll a thread easier than a C/, on most apps.
Subscribe to all of them. It won’t be a problem.
It’s like if you followed #s of the same thing on Instagram, twitter, mastodon, bluesky, and whatever the equivalent of # is on Facebook, then a reddit sub with the same name. Different populations and user bases, but that’s a good thing.
There’s some degree of consolidation that happens, particularly when one community is on a bigger instance and would be better served by being hosted elsewhere. But there’s not really any barriers to using multiple. If you crosspost, you have better chances of it being seen anyway, and you’ll get access to any responses. If you’re wanting to comment, then the OP that crossposted is going to get your response no matter which ones it’s in.
Only drawback is that your comment in one won’t show in the others unless you copy/paste it. Which is perfectly valid if you want to, but most people would see your comment eventually anyway, so the conversation will still happen if it would have in the first place.
I kinda had issues adapting to it myself, but now I tend to prefer it when communities are spread out, because every instance has its own vibe usually. So you get different kinds of discussions than you would if there was only one community on one instance.
Some subjects end up needing a single community just to make it easier to find, but it’s pretty rare imo.
Well it is a little different because it won’t include instances your instance is defederated from.
But what you’re wanting is essentially why subscriptions are there
That being said, an instance curated feed alongside the all feed and local would be a cool option.
Using your example, literature.cafe having an admin selected feed of communities relating to writing would be awesome.
But, there aren’t actually many instances where that would be useful, since there aren’t that many focused on specific subjects.
The all feed is there for everything federated, and that doesn’t need to change. It’s a big part of how and why the fediverse is so cool. So fucking with it is a bad idea. Adding in options is nice, but the lemmy development has a roadmap that’s pretty focused on functionality and stability, so don’t expect this kind of addition soon
It’s kinda weird though. Mastodon can have a pretty high character limit, on par with a reddit comment length.
The instance my author account is on has it set to a much higher limit. Enough so that I can post a short story in two, maybe three sections.
If it’s the lowest possible character limit that’s the problem, they could definitely get around that with damn near zero effort.
Which is whatever, I get that streamlining social media reduces time costs, I’m more questioning the one they chose in terms of how much upkeep it’ll be compared to other options. Reddit is going to have a lot more bullshit to wade through.
Yes, always irl for me which I had stated previously.
I’m talking about humans in meat space saying the dot out loud. Because that’s what the comment I was responding to seemed to be about.
It kinda varies for me.
.ee gets referenced less for sure. The folks I know that have used lemmy longest will do the dot ee, or double-e. Noobs tend to fumble with it, as in “lemmy with two ees at the end” and eventually go with whatever they’ve heard spoken most.
But .ml always gets the . I believe that’s because there’s no shorthand for it verbally. Mull? Mill? Mall? Too many options for most folks to bother trying.
Irl, people actually do say .world, .ml, .whatever, when the stuff before he dot is lemmy or close equivalent, and the conversation is about instances.
As in, “yeah, I had an account on .ml, but they be trippin, so I moved over to .ee”
But instances like the one I’m on just get called by what it says, or like blahaj, just by a single part.
Not the app!
After installing it on my phone and a different tablet, it repeated the same thing on the phone, but not the other tablet.
Turns out that on the older tablet, I don’t have the VPN set up be always on. Turned it on, problem appeared. Switched though a few different exit locations and it would work on some, but not others.
So it’s a piefed.social thing with VPNs, I think.
On my main tablet, I kept the same exit server since a few days before I tried the app the first time, and the app was initially working, so I didn’t even think that might be the issue. So they apparently blocked that one fairly recently.
