YSK: Commas can be used in phone numbers to automatically input automated menu options
For instance, I’m on Jury Duty in the US this week. Kinda a freebie but I still have to call in and input my “ID” number, birthday, and zip code before entering phone tree options to hear my summons status.

How do you overcome the fears of using your home IP to join a private tracker?
I’m considering joining my first private tracker. It turns out that most of them need you to pass an interview connected through your home IP. I understand this is a reasonable way to filter scammers and duplicate accounts. Still, to those who did it, how do you feel knowing your main IP is stored and associated to your...

Could we build a Pokémon trading community on Lemmy? An alternative to /r/pokemontrades and /r/svexchange
I started using Reddit back in 2013 because of Pokémon. During the 6th gen, trading through the subs using spreadsheets and finding people to hatch shiny eggs for you was a huge thing and the community still exists, but completely dependent on the platform (there’s a feedback app called FlairHQ that you need a reddit account...
