So… Your values are…?

“Everyone everywhere should federate.”

“Not like that!”

Yep. When I tried Mastodon, I gave up again super fast, and I think I see why now. Thankyou, very interesting.

You don’t need to get someone elses curation, just do a search for your interests. It isn’t difficult. How odd that people don’t know how to look for stuff. I guess algorithms atrophied their ability to think for themselves…

I don’t see much linux stuff, not subscribed to it, but it is better here than seeing all that sodding windows propaganda everywhere. My opinion is that the feddiverse is mostly star trek, but again, probably what I happen to have subscribed to. Why did you subscribe to all the linux based interest groups if you aren’t interested in Linux?

The gov version worked fine here in Australia, but not whatever that is, far as I know.

Personally would avoid calling yourself what everything else is called. Yet another fire/fedi/fetid/fish. Show your imagination and call it mullet or something, at the very least.

Recently links have started working in-app instead of sending me out to access lemmy through firefox. But it is still next to impossible to link someone else to a place, you need to know a lot of new stuff.

Not that I would want to. There is still very little interesting content, it is almost all yank-oriented, with occasional input from Europeans. The euro input is nice, but doesn’t relate much to Oz, it’s more relatable than the stuff made and commented on by Americans, that’s all.

It’s fun, but like looking through a window at someone elses social area. It isn’t homelike by a longshot. And if I ever mention this, all the yanks stacks-on by calling me a c**t, which is actually rude to someone you don’t have a long term positive relationship with of a very specific agegroup, and causes me to leave their community because it was rude.

All in all, not really bothered if Lemmy doesn’t succeed, but hopeful it might evolve one day.

It is easier to get into. It is easier to continue with it. There is an obvious no-brainer app.

…Misread that as two years and had a double-take.

Yanks get tetchy.

No, not grope, as I said, pat.

He felt we had all been sitting down for too long, and should gently pat the stranger on the butt, presumably to help them with the pins and needles. It was weird, but we thought it was weirder still! I believe people did indeed ask a lot of questions of him, but at the time it was a massive moment of lost in translation and divided by a common language, etc.

not if it sees or hears you coming.

And England, where we got it from?

Not as weird or rude as telling them to pat their neighbour on the vulva.

An American comedian, following a long set here in Australia, told the audience to stand up and stretch. He then tried to direct us to “bend over and pat your neighbour on the fanny”. Stone cold silence did not indicate to him his mistake, and he tried several times before eventually realising he had lost his audience goodwill entirely with this starting skit.

Turned out later that he had no clue what “fanny” means here, and had to have it explained to him.

Hijacking this because I have exactly the same complaints.

It says to change instances, but with no clue how to easily do that.

it just means signup again on a different domain name

That is not an easy way to solve that problem. Possibly there isn’t an easy one. It was enough difficult to get this account, I don’t see why I need several. I don’t want to have five different accounts with five different signon passwords etc. and the apps I’ve found so far all only support one sign on method, and none are very reliable.

Also, a lot of the posts are weird. Political.

I browse by Subscribed, I’m always surprised how many people browse All

That’s the default unfortunately. It’s often difficult to reset it to Subscribed again and Subscribed again and Subscribed again every time I click on anything interesting. I see the All stuff all too often, even if it’s just in passing.

When I end up on the front page, some days it’s the same stuff I read hours before.

sort by Top 6 Hours

I wish that worked. Probably does if you’re subscribed to much. But the turnover is just so tiny I guess.

Man I miss all the cat subs full of pics of cats. I didn’t realise how they buffered the more doomy posts until they went away.

A long while.

Most of lemmy appears to be bots talking to each other, for example.
