@thelsim

Some people call me by my username ("reiver") when they meet me in person.

To me, it is as much my name as my given-names are.

...

When I consider signing up for a new platform — if my preferred username isn't available, I often won't join.

...

Which never used to be a problem — as it is an obscure English word using its archaic spelling —

But, there are a lot more people on the Internet now, than there were two or more decades ago. So sometimes it gets taken by someone else.

DNA sometimes moves from mitochondria to the cellular nucleus.

This can lead to speciation.

I'll just replace "girlfriend" with "wife" since I am married —

Nothing happens. My wife knows me well. There isn't anything I think would surprise her.

Is there a fediverse software that has "trending" posts?

I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it’s not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most “engagement” as those are likely the most interesting ones.

@HughJanus @Lazycog

Do you recall which Firefish servers you tried (that were having stability problems)?

@cygnus_velum

Yes.

There isn't much that could make me not want to have kids.

...

I actually already have children. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites?

I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.

Hello from Mastodon.

That is what happens on Mastodon now when someone moves their account from one server to another — you get a notification of them following you from the other server.

@hitmyspot

It is all automatic.

You maintain the same relationship after the move.

If you just followed them, but they didn't follow you — that continues after the move.

If they just followed you, but you didn't follow them — that continues after the move.

If you followed each other — that continues after the move.

It is all automatic.

...

As a user, if someone who follows you moves their account, you see that as a new follow in your notifications.

With the , I've been looking around for a way to self host my own or instance, and just like with , the instructions and requirements are prohibitive.

  • There's no Docker container, official or otherwise
  • No Docker compose file, let alone a helm chart
  • There are instead long, painful instructions on how to self-host on a bare metal instance you have to maintain manually, like it's 2003.
