It’s a whole new frontier! :D

Kbin seemed to be pushed more on Mastodon than Lemmy was, during and in the run up to the blackout. Lots of people giving new things a go this week, even from places other than Reddit!

What a time to be alive 🍿

I mostly used RiF, but installed the official app during a trip last year to do logistics with someone who was using the built in chat.

I don’t tend to always have data on my phone, because WiFi is everywhere, and just add some when I’m going on a trip like this. I’d loaded up a fiver’s worth the morning we left, which usually sees me through an entire month in these situations.

Woke up after the first night away to an alert that my data was all used up. And on further investigation, guess which app was the culprit? Just literally sitting there overnight while I was asleep, gobbling up a month’s worth of data to do god knows what.

I uninstalled the app.

Yep they’re on fire, husband was on there but has temporarily moved back to Lemmy since Kbin isn’t federating. They’ll sort it aaaaht I’m sure.

Huh you’re right. First thought was maybe ml is down, but it doesn’t seem to be. How odd!

Subbing to all of them, contributing where I can, and seeing what happens :)

This question makes no sense because I’m British and we make literally anything sound like an insult.

Understandable enough I suppose, there’s more crucial things atm! I do hope they get there eventually though, it’s a handy fallback feature over on Mastodon.

I’ve seen people literally signing up here just to make like 50 empty communities and not post or comment on anything at all. Definitely a lot of folks just trying to stake some territory that they think will be valuable in the future.

You’d need to sign up for a totally new account. There is talk of adding a migration feature but obviously that’ll require a bit of patience, they’ve got a long list of feature requests!

It’s a part of all community URLs. Including asklemmy.

You know I’ve been recommending that link to everyone and had no idea you could actually use it to browse per-instance lol. Well done me 🤦‍♀️

Thanks for the heads up!

You can visit the actual instance, e.g. lemmy.world and then check out communities at the top. Not sure if there’s a better way yet, someone let me know if so!

Dislike :(

This has not been my experience so far.

We would love to see your knitting over at !creative@beehaw.org 😄

Yep this is the “official” one so far insofar as that’s a thing, our plan is to basically gather all crafters and creative types there for now until it becomes obvious that one type of craft is overtaking everything and should be split out.

Nice.
