Maybe someone here already said this but if you find a community with not a lot of traffic here, make sure to post in it. Others might go looking for it and find nothing, just like you did. Perpetual cycle of I see nothing, I leave. If someone's active, maybe someone else will be active with you. And then two turns to four to 8 and so on. Even if it feels like you're screaming into the void, keep screaming. The void is infinite and someone's bound to hear you eventually.

I should X that sounds like I should delete/close that. How apt.

Thanks for that. Really hate images that are just data… :(

The point is that someone wanted to make it, and then made it. It doesn’t have to have billions of users to have been fun to make, or even to have reasons for existing. Pixelfed needs a few people to want to use it to keep existing. Instagram needs all of you + your data. And once it inevitably does something people are unhappy with, Pixelfed will be there. And once the service people will somehow find themselves on after Instagram does the same, Pixelfed will probably still be there, then. As long as one person is interested in running an instance/updating the software/either of those two, it will keep existing. People used to, and still do, post pics on their website. What’s the point of that? People who have friends on Instagram will stay on Instagram. People who have friends on Pixelfed/Fedi as a whole, will probably keep using Fedi. It’s not an all or nothing game.

Because everyone uses the internet exactly like you do. :)

Huh. I must not have woken up yet.

Don't forget accessibility. Vision, motor, etc. sorry but the state of most of that is not so good right now.

The only thing I can think of is that sure sounds less convinced than yes. Sure might mean something more like “ok whatever”. Or at least that’s what I gather from fights with previous partners.

A lot of things changed very quickly for me over the past couple months so I decided I was going to spend new years with friends. And even though it’s over I still am not sure if it was a good idea. They see each other far more than they see me, so I felt very third wheely if that makes sense. Going back home soon though so I can go back to feeling like a unicycle. Lol

Owncast is streaming only, PeerTube has streaming as a feature. If you're only looking to stream, run Owncast. It's lighter on resource usage, easier to set up, fewer moving parts. If you want video hosting with maybe streaming as a bonus, you want PeerTube.

Barely!

I get to pet cheetahs today. And possibly baby lions. It’s gonna be a fun day I think.

I never got that bit tbh. Where do they think the seniors come from?

About to quit my job of five years for a new one. After how much of a mess the previous months were everything seems to happen to me all at once now. So I’ll roll with it and see where I end up.

No hate. Just disappointment at inaccessibility :) I can’t read the picture. But I can read the text. That’s why.

This is true. However keep in mind that instances survive on reputation. As soon as something like this came out, which is inevitable with time, nobody will trust that instance, or the person running that instance, again. And people are usually quite quick to find this out as already demonstrated by other online services. Hiding is very difficult. Even worse, once your reputation falls, people can move to a more respectful server and continue participating in the network, so in the end it's a losing game for the instance owner. Password safety obviously applies, but if you take a look at big social media privacy and terms, a little password manager in my personal opinion is preferable.

Protonmails approach to requiring hCaptcha for everything, even their mobile apps, really turns me off. I can't complete them. And I need another email to get in using their weird and creepy accessibility cookie thing. Nah thanks. If I need a second email to access my email I might as well just use that second email.

Do you send messages to yourself? Is this a thing you can do? I never tried. That would be pretty cool. edit: um... yeah. create an empty room with just yourself in it. Now I feel silly.

Happy birthday!!

My partners friend, as it turns out, has a pool. With a slide. And not just a small slide. So that’ll be my day. Feel like a child again.

I think you've inspired me. I'm gonna try this.

I think community consolidation/aggregation is something that might want to be looked at. It's possible to have a gardening community on multiple servers with different content. This will confuse people. So having a way to merge posts from two communities into a bigger community per server may be a good idea. So if you set up gardening communities on two servers you can choose to have posts show for each of them in your community. And making this a server or community setting still gives the ability to either have this or not have this if the communities are truly supposed to be separate. This would also give some kind of redundancy where the original community server can go offline but multiple different servers can still exchange messages that eventually make it back to the main community. Truly decentralized.

I love lying or sitting and listening to the rain. Ok I also love deliberately walking in the rain if it’s warm enough out. Ok yeah I just like rain apparently. the sound is just so soothing.

Getting over a breakup by trying to keep myself busy and not facing my thoughts much. It’s not healthy I know. I will eventually.

Thank you! Definitely an adventure. I’m nervous about the whole thing.

Hmm interesting. I have terrible eyesight so I don't always see my cats when they're somewhere I don't expect them to be. But they're not afraid of me. They're still very affectionate with me and they do seem to trust me a lot. One of my three cats has figured out that if she makes any kind of noise I'll notice her but the other ones don't, but still don't seem to get too mad at me when I do accidentally run into them. I do love them very much though and I'll spend as much time with them as I can or they let me. So maybe they have internalized that I don't do it on purpose. Might also just be how I react to when it does happen though. I genuinely feel bad every single time. That same cat also figured out that if she stands on her hind legs and knocks on the glass door I will always hear it. Scared the crap out of me when she did it for the first time but if only I could get my other cats to do the same...

Yup also doesn't work on Mlem for me

AdGuard works well. Can recommend.

While I agree that forcing an engine is really terrible, as a browser dev you do get the ability to do things with the web view. So in theory your browser could support addons. I think. Also isn't the EU kinda talking about this? Or am I misremembering

The way I was thinking you could still go to the original community and skip the aggregated one. So you could have c/gardening and c/flowers, but also c/backyard which could combine the two. You could still go to either one, but for easier discoverability you could create aggregators or include an aggregator in your community, and do this cross server. So if you have two very popular and overlapping communities you could combine them easier. Could also be a client feature I suppose. But right now you'd have to manually hunt for the possibly dispersed communities yourself. Alternatively I guess there is an argument for smaller communities being better which I do agree with. It was just a not very thought through idea :) Or you could have community redirects. So c/technology on lemmy.world could decide to seamlessly redirect to c/technology on Lemmy.ml if wanted. Edit: although the more I think about this the more it sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

Is that GitHub issue where the bridge just starts deleting emails still open? I am pretty sure it was open for over a year.

I personally like Mona.

I discovered scuba diving. And I’m off work for another two weeks. It’s a good time.

Really sorry to hear that. But I feel that way as well at times. You’re not alone. Always have an ear if you ever just wanna vent it something.

They really enjoyed it judging by the purring. They were so incredibly fluffy and gentle. They even licked my hand. Did not expect them to be so chill. I wanted to hug it but was advised not to.

I’m beyond sad it’s over. It was amazing. I also got to shake a hyenas paw. It was incredible

I feel this.

If the community is hosted on the defederated instance then I believe you wouldn’t see that post either. I believe the community instance reposts the post so that it can federate to all subscribed instances. And those might only be known to the instance that hosts the community. So everyone goes through it as a proxy.

Fair enough. I also don’t usually like it. I hate things like graphic audio for example. But for some reason KBS just worked for me.

Love it too. Definitely one of the best litrpgs I’ve read. I was really excited for the audio immersion but sadly I thought the first episode wasn’t quite as good. I listened to Kaiju battlefield surgeon and I imagined it to be like that. And it was, but a lot of small mistakes ended up making it feel a little rushed. KBS was actually really good too. Very enjoyed that one as well. Though I haven’t read the book for that yet, only listened to the cinematic audio.
