Yeah this is a normal phrase in British English too. Today you learned!

Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.

This is exactly why I love it here, which is weird because it’s exactly what I hate about living in a small town irl 🤷‍♀️

Welcome to the world of tomorrow!

Joined group, still can’t get in on the Play link but I’ve made a note to check back and see if it’s updated tomorrow. What a faff!

Update: store link now works for group members.

Happy to help with the play store test if you decide to try and get the 20 🫡

Yeah I recently helped out with this mandatory testing thing for !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world, seems it’s a relatively recent new hoop for devs to jump through.

That’s actually pretty handy. Cheers!

Justice for Leeds!

(It’s a city not a town)

I’m not keen on it, prefer to find things organically so I usually ignore or (if possible) hide recommendations. But I don’t understand getting mad about it and judging people who find it useful. People gonna people, I suppose.

Well, the one person I know who uses it says it’s because he likes having a recommendation algorithm.

People have different priorities and like different things 🤷‍♀️

Yep. Had plenty crafting communities on there, got plenty crafting communities on here. I’m all good!

Look at me, ma, I’m famous!

I actually do this with a few crafting communities that rarely get new posts, makes it easy to see when something pops up in one of them.

It’s not ideal obviously and I do hope we get these sorts of features eventually, but in the meantime it’s a decent workaround for a very specific situation.

Yay this makes me happy to hear! Life’s too short to not wear your hair long…or something 😄

Now the natural question here is…has the wife come around? When I declared my desire for a “summer goth cruise witch” aesthetic I’m happy to report my husband was all for it lol.

I’m nearly 40 and rediscovering my inner goth. Honestly don’t care if it looks “dumb”, I’m having a lot of fun! Just go for it, do what makes you happy.

Yeah I generally leave the whole defederation nonsense for a followup when it seems like someone needs the bigger picture explanation, otherwise things get lengthy. But you are technically correct, which we all know is the best kind of correct.

Deep breath, it’s all good!

.world was having trouble because it grew really really fast (like it’s only existed for about six weeks at this point), and the Lemmy software had never been tested with the sorts of numbers we very suddenly saw during the Reddit migration. So naturally there were performance problems, as nobody had ever run a Lemmy instance that large.

A few instance admins put their heads together and figured out various fixes and optimisations, and now it’s running fine. Maybe we’ll get into more issues down the road, that’s just the nature of being the first to try something new. But it’s nothing to panic about, think of it more like you’re a brave pioneer into an exciting new world :D

When you create a new community, other instances don’t automatically know it exists yet. They find out when the first person from there, searches for your community (search syntax is given in the community sidebar: !community@instance <-- note the ! at the start). Once someone subscribes, it shows up in that instance’s All feed.

To get the word out to other instances you can post in the various relevant communities as well as make sure to drop the link into any relevant conversations where people might be interested in checking it out. Since you have at least two accounts, if you create a community on one of your instances you can also use your other account as a shortcut and search for it yourself on the other instance.

Some useful communities are:

• !newcommunities@lemmy.world (Lemmy / Kbin)
• !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca (Lemmy / Kbin)
