  • I tried out different apps because of the autoloading of new posts that happens on the site. I think that might have been fixed in the update, but now I’m having issues logging into lemmy.world on the site, because if the update. I keep reminding myself it’s early days and things will get smoother soon.

    Yeah, I was referring to alcohol, but coffee is by far the better choice ;) I got really into cold brew coffee a few years ago, it’s really delicious and way better than iced coffee in my opinion. The only downside is you need to plan ahead if want it, and I’m terrible at remembering stuff like that.

    I feel this deep in my soul. As an AuDHD’er, I have my main obsession which I can always return to (BBC Sherlock) and a continuous rotation of new, short term hyper-fixations. At the moment this has included: gem faceting (I’m a sucker for geometry and working with my hands), home brewing (never gonna do it, but love to learn about it) and ultra-marathons (in a sense of watching Youtube videos about people that run them, there is no way in hell I am capable of such feats).


  • I also haven’t quite left yet, but I’ve been feeling for a long time that the quality of reddit is going down. I’ve been heavily using reddit since around 2011, and maybe this is just my rose colored nostalgia glasses, but I felt like pre-2016 and the T_D era, I was much more engaged in interesting conversation on various topics, and nowadays I mainly just mindlessly surf r/all looking at memes and what not, and only very rarely find those really interesting in-depth threads that I feel like used to be more common. Additionally, it feels like reddit is growing increasingly more corporate, I remember when you would often see r/hailcorporate links under anything that even vaguely hinted at astroturfed advertising, and now you see not so subtle ads disguised as posts everywhere (and I don’t mean the ones coming from reddit). I’m hoping that I can find that old reddit feel here, and I’m currently really enjoying the excitement of discovering something new, even the apprehension of navigating a platform I don’t fully understand. I don’t want to sound elitist, but I’m hoping the barrier to entry prevents Lemmy from growing too quickly and becoming like reddit all over again, but not so much that this exodus dies like others have in the past.


  • I literally just joined about an hour ago, so take my comment with a grain of salt, but maybe you can manually track the communities you sub to on your current instance in case that happens? I did some reading and it seems possible to set up something like an RSS feed for Lemmy communities, so you would still be able to view activity without an account (if you instance goes down), and you have something documenting the communities you are interested in. Sorry if this is not useful, just trying to do my part and be more active here.
