On Twitter I mostly followed people I knew in real life, comedians, some novelty and parody accounts. I joined Mastadon and I really don’t see anything interesting to me looking at trending posts and what not. It seems very grown up and dry. I miss a little of the “Wild West” aspect of twitter from early 2010’s with...

And I absolutely loved it. It is honestly one of my new favorite books. I am going to tag basically this whole post as spoilers because the thing that truly makes this book amazing does not start until almost 100 pages in....

I’ve been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we’re giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you’re in the same place please...

Hi all...

Theyre coming to my area later this year apparently. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the quality of service?...

I read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and take enjoyed it. Read another book, then started reading Devil and the Dark Water by the same author. I got about 25% through and just decided to drop it for something else. I’m not an avid reader so i never know if I should stay committed or not.

I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much....

I’m looking for a solid smartphone with a high-capacity battery. I don’t care about performances: as long as Spotify Qobuz, Google Maps, Firefox and Lichess work seaminglessly, I don’t care about running video games with demanding-graphics. I also would like to pay less than 300$, and I don’t care about the camera. I...

Hi folks,...

So what goes into writting a book, can anyone do it, ive been wanting to do many things for a while but i think sense i was a kid i wanted to write a book or even a short story or something that i can publish. the thing is i have major dylexia, i tend to not plan things and instead write on the spot, also i have partiall ideas....

Is there a community for peertube similar to !mastodon? I feel like peertube could really use some sort of lemmy driven community engagement. Particularly because it integrates so well into lemmy. It reminds me of an old extension that would replace youtube comments with reddit discussions when available.

Hey all! As I’ve been branching off more and more into the Fediverse I’ve been looking at Masto alternatives and all of them are great. I like most quite a bit more than Mastodon for the UI and featureset. I want to selfhost one, and Akkoma’s lightweight nature and rich features attracted me....

For a few years I used dark mode because i thought it was better for your eyes; it isn’t....

Hey all! I’m interested in creating an account on mastodon, and am looking to build up a list of people to follow. Let me know who your must follows are!

I just switched to Authenticator Pro from Authy and I’ve been very pleased. It took some time to get my codes transferred over, but now I have android wear support, night mode, and my codes aren’t held hostage by Twilio!

I’d like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I’d much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it....

I’m male aged 19-22, I have an older brother about 4-5 years older (giving age ranges for better anonymity). Relationship is… not good (read: it’s terrible, horrifyingly terrible, arch-nemesis). How about you?...
