Hopefully migrating to @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee , come find me there
The easiest way is to search for hashtags and click through to profiles that look like they post interesting stuff. You can also check out https://fedi.directory/ where there are suggested accounts to follow for all kinds of different topics. If you’ve not made an intro post there yet, do that too with the tag #introduction and any other tags you’re interested in, that way people will come to you!
Also what kind of crafts and do I already follow you there? 👀 lol
It’s a whole new frontier! :D
Kbin seemed to be pushed more on Mastodon than Lemmy was, during and in the run up to the blackout. Lots of people giving new things a go this week, even from places other than Reddit!
Honestly it is a bit weird, yes, but you do you 😄
I mostly used RiF, but installed the official app during a trip last year to do logistics with someone who was using the built in chat.
I don’t tend to always have data on my phone, because WiFi is everywhere, and just add some when I’m going on a trip like this. I’d loaded up a fiver’s worth the morning we left, which usually sees me through an entire month in these situations.
Woke up after the first night away to an alert that my data was all used up. And on further investigation, guess which app was the culprit? Just literally sitting there overnight while I was asleep, gobbling up a month’s worth of data to do god knows what.
I uninstalled the app.
Looks perfect to me 😍
Yeah everything is taking an absolute hammering atm and federation is all over the place. I’ve got two accounts myself. Just couldn’t bear the idea of OP having like ten accounts for different instances by accident :D
I know it’s not the point of your post (which I did read and also agree with) but just in case nobody else has mentioned it…
In your summary you said you’d signed up for “other instances of Lemmy” and I just want to make sure you know you don’t need to do that to join communities in other places! :)
Subscribed, new comments. It’s the perfect combo as it shows me new posts but also ones getting recent action.
I do regularly flip to local or all just because it’s fun to stumble across random new stuff, and also because I’m not subbed to many actually big communities (yet).
Yup. Completely with you on everything you just said.
Coming at this from a slightly different angle, as I do use Instagram and it was responsible for helping my YT channel and therefore my business in general take off.
I’m already on Mastodon, so would have no need to use this. However, I’ve really come to despise IG and find interacting with it to be more of a chore than anything. So an option for my friends and viewers from IG to communicate with me without me having to actually log in over there? I can just stay on Mastodon and run everything from one place? Sounds fine to me!
(pending evidence of good faith as discussed elsewhere in thread)
Huh you’re right. First thought was maybe ml is down, but it doesn’t seem to be. How odd!
Asking crafters if we’re interested in a write-up about how to do an even more obscure bit of our craft? Hmm, let me think… 🤔
Looks super snuggly, merino is the best! Do you have any plans of what to make with this one yet?
They look great! Love the idea of a unified theme 🐝
Subbing to all of them, contributing where I can, and seeing what happens :)
This question makes no sense because I’m British and we make literally anything sound like an insult.
I do both! Also the answer is yes.
Understandable enough I suppose, there’s more crucial things atm! I do hope they get there eventually though, it’s a handy fallback feature over on Mastodon.
Yeah I think you’re right. And they’ll hopefully fix their tech issues soon so we can all be one big happy family again haha
