I cannot deal with how smol she is omg

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

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!

Gotta be between this and top hat lemming. Does Lemmy do polls, yet? 🤔

I’ve seen talk on GitHub issues of changing exactly how it works but not sure how high priority that is right now.

If the really big community is on your home instance, one workaround is to actually unsub because you’ll see it in the local/all feeds anyway.

Alternatively try changing your default sort, I’m on new comments which does at least mean I only see the big threads when someone is chatting in them.

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.

Buns forever!

It was right in front of me!

Ok ngl I have tried the biscuit one. It smells amazing, so realistically biscuitty, but the taste is…questionable.

So if you’re more into sniffing your drinks these could actually be a good shout.

Precious, precious alone time. Make the most of it!

Huh you’re right. First thought was maybe ml is down, but it doesn’t seem to be. How odd!

I may have accidentally stayed up all night to watch the meltdown and am now dead. Worth it to be there for the moment /r/funny went offline though (at like 5am, omg I am too old for this sort of thing!)

Today is gonna be rough, I have to somehow perk up enough to record a YT video and seem like I’m happy about it.

reaches pathetically for the kettle

I do both! Also the answer is yes.

I’ve seen people literally signing up here just to make like 50 empty communities and not post or comment on anything at all. Definitely a lot of folks just trying to stake some territory that they think will be valuable in the future.

You’d need to sign up for a totally new account. There is talk of adding a migration feature but obviously that’ll require a bit of patience, they’ve got a long list of feature requests!

/r/eurovision, although the season just ended so it would be a bit quiet right now anyway.

/r/fantasyfootball, that season is just about to kick off so would be good timing

If you’d asked this a day earlier I’d have said /r/casualUK but we now have !ukcasual@lemmy.world

And the various specific craft subs. Currently we’re posting all craft projects to !creative@beehaw.org but sooner rather than later I think it’ll have to be split up into individual crafts because if there’s one thing crafters love even more than the actual making stuff, it’s showing off the stuff we made.

I’m on Beehaw and managed to join this one ok. I think there’s a delay when the first person tries to search for an instance, before it actually shows up in results. Not ideal but maybe try it again now?
