"Bot account" identifies the account as being controlled by robots.
"Show bot accounts" says that you want to see those accounts run by robots.

A stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.

I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.

You can interact on both platforms using one account, but the best experience is to have an account on each - Lemmy communities don't work very well on Mastodon, and Mastodon users can't be followed from Lemmy. Kbin is the middle ground which can do both.

Friendica, apparently. I've never used it.

I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn't happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.

My Instagram account won't let me follow anybody for some reason (cites protection of users or somesuch). I never use it anyway. I've requested a data download and will delete it imminently, as it is completely useless to me.
May as well avoid them accidentally creating me a Threads account I don't want.

There's some I haven't used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that's the best of both worlds. I don't think the private messaging function works on it yet though.

Companies can host Mastodon (or Lemmy or whatever) on their own domain. That way they have control over the instance and it implicitly verifies their account as official. Raspberry Pi already do this (raspberrypi.social).

Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)

Artifact is an interesting app that learns from your viewing history.

Oooh....

It’s made by the creators of Instagram

Ah, maybe not then.

feddit.uk is an active one, if you don't have any luck at the café.

Debian Woody PPC. I also downloaded Yellow Dog but don't remember ever installing or using it.

Everything.

I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I've failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.

I think the point was that we don't need to use the sketchy service.

The dev does plan to open source it I believe.

Tried twice, got stuck on the chess notation each time, even though I thought the move I was putting in was pretty good, it obviously wasn't the best.

Actually it's "Add new thread", this must have changed very recently.

Not yet, but there are a couple coming, eg. !ArtemisApp

Maybe Astral Chain?

I use a Competition Pro USB. I also have an 8bitdo if more buttons are required. Keyboard is always a favourite though!

Takahē are going to try implementing it too, once Bluesky are ready to federate.

All my links appear to have been rewritten there - if you need to copy/paste try these:

!lemmings@lemmings.world

@lemmings@lemmings.world

Yes, it does.

In theory, anybody you follow you should see their new threads in Threads on the Subscribed view, and their new microblog posts in the Subscribed/Microblogs view. I am not convinced it actually works for Threads - and it may not work for microblogs either.

Certainly following Mastodon users shows their posts under Subs/Microblogs.

Following Lemmy users should show their posts in the Threads view (as above, not sure if this works).

Boosts should show up as a new post "boosted by" in either Threads or Microblogs depending on what it originally was - but this appears to be unimplemented.

For posts, you just need to go to subs and then microblog. Unless you mean threads, in which case I think they will show up on the main subs view (although I haven't tested this). Comments I don't think show up in subs - it only shows threads. If you go to their profile you can see them though. Maybe a feature request to add a Comments section to the top header?

This was a great little game, I got it off a magazine covertape (I thought SU but spectrumcomputing suggests it was probably Crash). I didn't necessarily think it was innovative then, but the race mode was fun and I remember changing the UI colours. In fact, I don't remember there being a non-race mode, so obviously didn't go into that bit of the game much!

The last bit is not strictly true - if you delete a post/comment it will federate the deletion so it will (should) delete everywhere. Any hosts which are off-line or later defederated might still keep a copy of it though, or a user client may have it cached. "Be careful with what you write" is always good advice regardless!

I find it useful. I follow my Kbin account from Mastodon, anything I boost I then see there - and can boost it to Mastodon easily.

If people followed my Kbin account and I used it as my main for everything, then boost would be useful without the double boosting.

New article is the correct way to post a general new thread.

Yes, it didn't appear to recognise the second + though.

So you can see what they post and boost! It's possibly more for following Mastodon accounts, so you'll see these in the microblog. Following kbin users from Mastodon works well too, you'll see all threads, posts and comments.

I think I managed a checkmate and it still wasn't happy!
