I stopped using mastodon completely when I migrated to neurodifferent.me and lost ALL my follows/followers. It just seems so exhausting to start again. Any ideas fellow #actuallyautistic friends?
@jfriday I experienced the exact same, when I left neurodifferent. me Lost 90 %. But I don't mind that much. I still have @actuallyautistic .And as my follows went with me, still the same feed.
@sahat@jfriday
I lost a handful of followers and follows when I moved from Fosstodon to two smaller instances. But that was because Octodon seems a little trigger-happy, and has blocked the two instances I now use. The user-migration feature was a little bit manual, but largely worked.
(Fosstodon is great, BTW. The reasons I migrated were (a) to get a higher character limit and (b) to split my Fedi presence into ND and other stuff, so that I don't have to come out as #ActuallyAutistic to IRL friends and colleagues.)
Jess, you could try posting to one of the most relevant groups (such as @actuallyautistic), explaining what's happened, giving your old Fedi ID (if that's comfortable and safe to do), and inviting your old followers to follow you again. You won't get them all back that way, but it'll be a start. And you can always follow the old crowd when you see them around; some of them will follow you back.
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer than that, but I hope you'll stick around here. 🙂
Pet peeve of the day: Games with "puzzles" that can only be solved by trying a bunch of different plausible answers.
If you know the right answer (but not that it is the right answer), and the reasoning behind the right answer, but you still can't tell that it's the right answer without engaging the games mechanic to check if it's the right answer, it's not a puzzle. It's just a game a brute forcing answers.
El Dorado Golden City is a fun city builder with a few new game mechanics I have not seen before. Worth a look :) https://youtu.be/jFatWUglz9s via @gaming
I noticed on the https://joinmastodon.org/servers that we aren't in any categories. There's #Hobby, #Gaming or #Technology categories where the other anime/manga focused servers are on (anime.kona.moe, urusai.social, ani.work). :blobfoxbongo:
It is such a fun game! It really does remind me of the oldschool wrestling games. They do a great job with making the wrestlers feel unique and exactly like they act on TV (Orange Cassidy, for example, can fight a whole match worth his hands in his pockets). There are a bunch of fun Easter eggs that I won’t spoil for you.
It is noticeable, though, that they didn’t have the resources to devote to the create a character feature. However, this is something that would naturally be updated as time goes by.
Tag team matches are a bit fiddly because you can’t tell your partner to come tag (as far as I know), and sometimes you’ll go to tag him but he’ll come into the ring instead. But the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, so these are minor issues.
All of the mini games are a blast except for one (in my opinion) and they just add a bit of a distraction that spices things up. If you don’t like them, you don’t need to play them, there is no forcing the player one way or the other.
Wanted to talk about some of my favourite indie games that really inspired or impacted me through my years of gaming (still do), and I never see ppl talk about -
🧵1/?
Dominique Pamplemousse - It's all Over When The Fat Lady Sings
Off-beat comedy, handmade, unique art-style, society commentary, musical, gender exploration - I backed Squinky on IndieGoGo when this first was announced and I still love and replay this regularly.
It's the kind of unique view and creativity I desperately want to see more of, and love experiencing. One day I'd too hope to leave the world with something like this
There's also a sequel and another exploratory game by Squinky that's worth playing too, and only 1$ https://squinky.itch.io/
This is something my wife always complains about, so much so that I’ve gotten a kagi account and set up a specific search category for gardening that bans certain sites and excludes hits where words contain American spelling. One thing that might be interesting is a list of translated gardening resources from other nearby countries. I’m sure the flora and fauna in the rest of North-West Europe can’t be that different?
Here’s an example: I translated the phrase “my hawthorn will not bloom” into French and searched for the resulting phrase. Found a website and translated it back to English: www-jardiner--malin-fr.translate.goog/…/amp?_x_tr…
Hey there fellow mastodoner
when posting to lemmy, your 1st sentence will be the title of the post
any text on the 2nd and next sentences will be part of the body
so I'd suggest placing the @ (tag/mention) after the 1st sentence
Don’t mind me, just out here buying Home Depot buckets full of #NES games.
Update: Here's the full list of what I got. I paid $200 for the lot, and in my stupidity I originally priced it out at $2 a game (instead of the actual $4). But still not an awful deal?
Does anyone have any advice on whether to use #threads or #microblogs when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on #kbin? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?
A thread is a Reddit equivalent and a microblog is a Twitter equivalent. So it really depends if you’re trying to start a discussion or just want to put something out there in my opinion
