"Bot account" identifies the account as being controlled by robots.
"Show bot accounts" says that you want to see those accounts run by robots.

You can interact on both platforms using one account, but the best experience is to have an account on each - Lemmy communities don't work very well on Mastodon, and Mastodon users can't be followed from Lemmy. Kbin is the middle ground which can do both.

A stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.

I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.

Oh dear, he's back to his old ways of hyping things 😕

I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn't happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.

Friendica, apparently. I've never used it.

My Instagram account won't let me follow anybody for some reason (cites protection of users or somesuch). I never use it anyway. I've requested a data download and will delete it imminently, as it is completely useless to me.
May as well avoid them accidentally creating me a Threads account I don't want.

Is the pilot a cat?

Companies can host Mastodon (or Lemmy or whatever) on their own domain. That way they have control over the instance and it implicitly verifies their account as official. Raspberry Pi already do this (raspberrypi.social).

There's some I haven't used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that's the best of both worlds. I don't think the private messaging function works on it yet though.

Ace, thanks.

Yay, Jerry, you are awesome! It was working somewhat better (but still many 500s, could at least browse the main thread listings) since the updates a couple of days ago, and now I can't get it to fail at all. Hopefully it's fixed. Appreciate all the effort you have put into this, really liking the kbin experience so far.

I think the key is "not much margin" - they just aren't making enough profit and presumably don't want to put the price up.

I think that would be annoying!

😂 The signs make no sense either - one-way left turn only, temporary sign which says no left turn!

Another "Brexit benefit"!

feddit.uk is an active one, if you don't have any luck at the café.

To prove you're not a robot, click on all the pictures of robots.

I'm getting 500s on the homepage and on my /sub page. Federation seems to have stopped again too.

Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)
