just wondering, is it the lemmy bot?

if you haven’t come across it already, maybe you’ll find blog.emojipedia.org/emoji-zwj-sequences-three-let… interesting

wow, an instance specially for fountain pens

i just realized this week in the fediverse has been about name change after name change:

1. calckey -> firefish, so lots of instances that had calckey in domain name changed their names
2. firefish has a trademark issue, so probably some of those instances that changed names to firefish are doing so again, firefish software itself gets a fork called iceshrimp
3. .ml gov decides to take back their country code, so any fediverse instance there will have to change name, one of the biggest would be lemmy.ml (has anyone heard what’s the latest on this one?)

fundraiser means you’ll probably also find someone more qualified to set an instance up for you 😝 (because you’d surely want the fundraiser to have wide publicity, and that in turn will get you the people who are like…one-click bam tada! installed (I’m not there yet 😎))

there’s farside.link that I mentioned a while ago. taking your link as an example: farside.link/twitter.com/…/1683334798541230080 (so something like twitter.com/NoelHasFeathers becomes farside.link/twitter.com/NoelHasFeathers), every time you click on the farside link it randomly chooses a different nitter instance for you

edit: farside also works with lots of other things too, including reddit, youtube, imgur, imdb, tiktok, quora, medium…even wikipedia

saw that you’re using nitter for the link 🙂

just wondering if you remembered that from my mention of it, or if someone else in your fediverse timeline has also mentioned it

Just wish I have enough technical acumen to play around and spin an instance whichever software it is.

I on the other hand wish I had the monetary resources to spin an instance, because I think the *keys will need twice (or more) the amount of ram lemmy needs. (from what I remember, dcx said monyet.cc has 2gb of ram.)

that’s an interesting backstory, thanks for sharing it with me

hopefully this will all be over soon, and the devs can go back to making firefish/iceshrimp/whatever a good and worthwhile fork

edit: btw, do you know if the “soapbox” they mentioned is soapbox.pub? do you have any idea what was so offensive that soapbox did that merely hosting your code on their gitlab can be used as a point in an argument?

no problem 👌

did the lemmy backend just crash?

10th july was the day monyet.cc turned federation off for protection against the xss bug, so when the mods unpinned that day’s daily thread at the end of the day, the action was not federated.

probably a solution would be to repin and then unpin it again, but if that doesn’t work, maybe you’ll need to see if the admins of lemmy.zip can help you.

get well soon

maybe you can share the phone brand, so we can all avoid it 🤔
