I’d do it just because my son wants me to. That’s more important to me than anything else. I have two boys. I’d do anything to make them happy.

Neat! Bought it!

My wife and I picked out her ring together. She has to wear it all the time. I think she should have say in the matter. Ask your partner to help you pick one out.

Lemmy.World isn’t developing it. Some of their team members are contributing but they didn’t start it. I did. I’m the admin of discuss.online

It’s actually extremely buggy. Not sure if we’ll fix it or find something else. Perhaps something you suggested.

I setup https://github.com/deck9/input on polls.sublinks.org. We’ll use this next time.

I was hoping not to have to host it myself. I won’t need it often. I was mostly curious about a Saas. Thanks though!

Is there a better form service to be used? We used it because it comes free with our email.

Thanks @gabe@literature.cafe! https://social.photo. I just opened registration so it’s still very young. I am running Lemmy on https://discuss.online, Mastodon on https://utter.online and Pixelfed on https://social.photo. I also run a matrix instance on the same discuss.online domain.

I’m based in Ohio, US; however, the servers are in New York on DigitalOcean. That’s really close to Canada :).

I’m trying to build an ecosystem under the https://participating.online brand. I don’t plan on going anywhere.

In fact, I had planned to build something many years ago and I’ll probably start on it now. It will provide a unique experience once it’s done in a several months. I’m working on some other stuff first… like myself.

It’s pretty incredible how so much of the history aligns with my issues. It’s a great book. I have a good feeling about it being able to help organize my life.

I just started The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll.

Yes, I’ve just been into this idea for a while. I thought about building something like Lemmy about 10 years ago, but everyone said I was crazy to think people would do it. It’s here now, and I want it to grow and be trusted. The only way to do that is to build trusted instances. I took it upon myself to make that happen or at least contribute to it happening.

I prefer the smaller communities. It feels less like shouting into a void.

Yes, when I started talking to other admins that’s when I realized how over prepared I was compared to them.

That’s what made me decide to do the downgrade. I might do it again at some point.

Yeah, you can change that on your profile settings. But it’s not automatic, which is weird.

It was already in a spiral. I think some people are mores sensitive to the gravity of it.

I had many discussions with Mods when working out the plan for SocialCare.cloud. I never knew what was involved. I even suggested adding a tip jar to each community to help compensate the mods. I was told that was a terrible idea. After further discussion, it seems to be true. Perhaps a more general shared fund would be better.

I see. My server instance is at 5% CPU and 15% memory usage. However, my managed DB instance is constantly near 80%. I’m thinking about moving the database over to the same server and managing my own backups. It’s seems much more DB heavy now.

Yeah, and Mastodon is more ready for growth than Lemmy is. I’d say Mastodon is better than Twitter. Lemmy doesn’t quite have the same polish, yet.
