They say they are working with other apps but there were other devs posting that they've been trying to reach out but not getting any answers. The ball is being dropped on so many aspects.

I tried Mastodon first but I never really was much of a Twitter user. I find that format in general makes it difficult to find information about specific topics and there's not as much discussion. I'm liking Lemmy way more because I like the forum style format. It's certainly interesting watching all the "duplicate" communities across the instances though, I'm hoping it'll settle down a bit.

Sadly sorting on new also has its issues with the auto updates and content getting pushed down automatically. I'm hoping that gets fixed soon.

I wonder if the comments about no significant revenue drop still holds true today. I was quite surprised to see that there doesn't seem to be too big a drop in posts & comments (~1k) aside from the crash yesterday. https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

Usually any kind of fantasy book! There are already good recommendations in this thread for those so I'll also mention books aimed more towards a younger audience, they tend to feel nostalgic and warm. Books like the classic editions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Winnie-the-Pooh :)

Although I'm a bit sad about no plans for Apollo for Lemmy, I definitely get the reasoning he gives - a double heartbreak is the last thing I'd wish on him. I got the Pixel Pals app (yay, cute raccoons!) to show support for his work & the challenges lately.

If it's just the beans, I eat them straight up. If they're in the pod: steam, sprinkle with flaky salt, and eat them by putting the pod in your mouth (so you get the salt!) and popping the beans out.

Reply to wrong post bug :(

Yeah, their interview with Christian Selig was an interesting read as well: Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted

Chocolate (dark and with praline or hazelnuts), salty crackers, hummus (my favorites are sweet pepper and sundried tomato) with breadsticks.

My husband and I really like Wonderbook. It's a campaign game with several chapters. The theming is a bit childlike sometimes but the mechanics are fun.

I've been interested in trying Disco Elysium, good to know that it runs well on the Deck! You mentioned playing on the train - is it a good game to play in short bursts?

It's certainly something to see all the different instance names :)

I use both but I'm terrible at taking meds regularly (ha, the irony!).
For losing track of time during meetings/focus sessions, I use a Time Timer to visually see time passing by/showing how much time is left.
For reminders, I use Due on iOS (+ Apple Watch) as it continues to send reminders until you do the thing and check it off.
For to-do lists, I use both paper planning with a bullet journal-esque notation as well as a whiteboard for "temporary" planning, like creating a prioritization matrix, as it allows me to shift things around more easily.

Ahh this is so precious!
What resources would you recommend for others who would like to start learning Blender?

A quick Merlin Bird ID later - you're right! They're Egyptian Geese. I've never been good at identifying geese when they aren't the terrifying Canadian ones. Thanks! Luckily Lemmy actually allows post title edits, haha.

It's like getting the advice to consider a planner while there's a stack of half filled ones gathering dust in some drawer somewhere :')

Yeah, I also will be staying on Lemmy. There's bugs and performance issues but the quality of conversation is better and interaction feels genuine. There's also actual possibilities to contribute instead of getting lost in a sea of rehashed comments.
The main thing that is missing now (and I assume will remain missing) are the hobby communities, especially those aimed at non-techies, like sewing, cross stitch,... I feel the people there aren't going to bother with figuring out Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse... because they tend to be less tech savvy.

Sea of Thieves. I tried it but something about the camera/movement made me physically sick right from the start. I'm also not too big of a fan of the character designs. I get pirates are scruffy and rowdy, yarrr, but they didn't seem to have ones that looked somewhat like a regular person.

If I have to pick something, I'd say the thumb clusters. I barely use the top ones in the center because they're a bit of an awkward reach for my hand size. The bottom ones on the outside are also weird because you'd need to do some finger curl or move your hands. I just ended up mapping the keys I don't use as much over there and it hasn't been an issue, but it is some wasted potential :)
