I just tried signing up at fedia.io, and I got the response “429 Too Many Requests”. It doesn’t inspire confidence that I can’t sign up for the largest and most popular (and represented in the screenshot above) instance.
That was the instance I signed up at, about 10 mins before I posted this link. Lemmy also went down in the last day, so nothing is bulletproof. But the site is working as I’m browsing and commenting right now.
Yeah, I definitely understand, which is why I moved off of lemmy.world. But the other mbin instances are really small in terms of members, so that makes me nervous that they aren’t going to be around long term. I get it, there’s no guarantee with any instance, but one that has a miniscule number of users makes me gun shy.
Well I can promise that my 2 instances will be around for a while :D
That would be https://thebrainbin.org (English, stable) and https://gehirneimer.de (German, uses with some of the latest commits for testing)
Thanks for the offer, but I don’t think Kbin/mbin is for me. I signed up for a smaller mbin instance to give it a try. I realized that I would have to manually moved all my communities over (which is too many to do), and that some of the ones I follow and are active in aren’t federated with mbin.
No, the pull requests are to do with submissions of source code to the core project. The project owner has to review and accept those changes for them to happen (or not).
I got a subscription to nebula, since my favorite creators are on there and YouTube’s subscription costs too much.
Quit Spotify for Apple Music and PlexAmp.
Slowly starting to phase out everything Google but it’s taking some time.
I’m using Google search less and now Ecosia has become my primary search engine.
Next thing on my list is to reduce streaming services. I quit Netflix and HBO in 2023 after having it for many years.
Using a VPN more and more.
I’m using much less Reddit, Facebook and whatever the fuck twitter is now. Instead I’m using Lemmy and Mastodon. Maybe this year I’ll delete all the old accounts finally for good.
I’ve done and tinkered with many things in 2023 like most of us here (migrated to lemmy, degoogle, unsubscribed to streaming services, linux, etc). Some things that are less known that I think worth to mention are:
Using shift+right click to open the full context menu in Windows 11
Finally set an Address bar shortcut for searching reddit content with Google. No more typing "site:reddit.com…"
Anilist with TachiyomiJ2K(mobile)+Taiga(desktop)+Mal-Sync(browser extension) for maximum anime/manga tracking automation!
My only shame in 2023: Creating a Facebook account (anonymous account) for the messenger and local hobby groups. All I can say is Facebook seemed to intentionally obfuscate its setting/option menus because they’re all scattered in different pages and just a plain mess. f u zuck
