As of 2017, the rules in Canada have been the following:

All new devices in Canada must be sold unlocked, and carriers must offer to unlock existing phones free-of-charge

there’s this one but it doesn’t seem to have any recent posts !lostlemmys@lemmy.world

Might be nice to have a more generic one if we make a new one. Maybe c/LostUsers or something to keep it open to lemmy/kbin/piefed/sublinks/mastodon etc

This seems like the wrong community for this post

Which app are you using? It would be best to post in the community for that app

The article is nice, but I’m not sure if I’d send it to friends that aren’t familiar with the fediverse. It seems to gloss over some problems and focus less relevant ones

It doesn’t touch on the issues with Blueskys protocol and makes it sound like an equivalent choice (or worse, a better choice). In the downsides section it touches on racism in badly moderated instances, and the difficulty of setting up an instance. Those issues aren’t relevant to the vast majority of users who will join a large instance that has defederated from the bad stuff.

It’s a nice article for those who are already somewhat familiar, but a bad first impression

Quiet walks

I’ve seen some dashboards around, is this what you’re looking for?

I almost prefer lemons of Lemmy 🍋

We also just spun up a new community for the MMR patients

!marinemammalrescue@lemmy.ca

Feel free to join :)

👋

No worries! I didn’t read it properly until after I already left a comment. I was too excited to share lol

I think both Lemmy and Boost have this functionality, although there have been some bugs in Lemmy web UI after the recent update

For Boost, hit the share button on the post and then “Cross-Post, Post to Lemmy”

edit: Unless you mean posting in a few communities all at once, which I agree would be cool

I like !movies@lemm.ee for movies and TV shows

In addition to this, I’ve heard people say to do ‘drive by compliments’. If you’re not trying to start up a conversation or don’t want the person to worry about a conversation, you can drop the compliment right as you’re about to leave the situation. It has its downsides as well

I think the intent was humor, where the question was weird because it had nothing to do with gender or experiences related to a particular gender

Have you got any weird questions for the opposite gender?

I like !privacyguides@lemmy.one because the project is behind it

Whenever friends ask about resources, I always link them to the privacyguides website. I should use their community more as well

Ah yes that makes sense! Yea definitely use whichever method works for you :)

I’m not sure if the local sort also includes non-local content that you’re subscribed to, but it should work great when starting out without any subscriptions. If you haven’t already, this tool is great for finding communities

Welcome! The first few days have some extra learning, but you’ll find that lots of people have mostly or entirely replaced Reddit here. My thoughts:

• Set your sort to ‘scaled’. I find that this gives me a nice mix of posts from large and small communities. I don’t quite remember which sorting option it was, but early on I was also dealing with an unchanging feed and the culprit was the sorting option.

• keep an eye out for other communities you’re interested in. There are fewer users on any particular community here, but its less of an issue if you subscribe to more places. !communitypromo@lemmy.ca for example, you can subscribe to it to passively find out about other communities

• Yes local is supposed to show posts from your home instance’s communities only. I don’t have much use for it, but it can be useful on topic focussed instances.

I didn’t want to promote any paid tool in the post. I’m currently paying for one of the more well known models, but I want to shop around. My plan right now is to find a pay as you go tool, so that I can use different models depending on what task each one is good at.

If I’m going to pay for something, I want to vote with my wallet and go with the option that’s better for consumers

I’m not actually sure if this is the case, supposedly the official app was having issues as well. Sounds like Reddit broke something again
