Hopefully migrating to @[email protected] , come find me there
The easiest way is to search for hashtags and click through to profiles that look like they post interesting stuff. You can also check out https://fedi.directory/ where there are suggested accounts to follow for all kinds of different topics. If you’ve not made an intro post there yet, do that too with the tag #introduction and any other tags you’re interested in, that way people will come to you!
Also what kind of crafts and do I already follow you there? 👀 lol
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’ve seen talk on GitHub issues of changing exactly how it works but not sure how high priority that is right now.
If the really big community is on your home instance, one workaround is to actually unsub because you’ll see it in the local/all feeds anyway.
Alternatively try changing your default sort, I’m on new comments which does at least mean I only see the big threads when someone is chatting in them.
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.
Yup. Completely with you on everything you just said.
Coming at this from a slightly different angle, as I do use Instagram and it was responsible for helping my YT channel and therefore my business in general take off.
I’m already on Mastodon, so would have no need to use this. However, I’ve really come to despise IG and find interacting with it to be more of a chore than anything. So an option for my friends and viewers from IG to communicate with me without me having to actually log in over there? I can just stay on Mastodon and run everything from one place? Sounds fine to me!
(pending evidence of good faith as discussed elsewhere in thread)
Huh you’re right. First thought was maybe ml is down, but it doesn’t seem to be. How odd!
Asking crafters if we’re interested in a write-up about how to do an even more obscure bit of our craft? Hmm, let me think… 🤔
Looks super snuggly, merino is the best! Do you have any plans of what to make with this one yet?
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.
I do both! Also the answer is yes.
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.
I cannot deal with how smol she is omg
