Try clearing your cookies and reaccessing Lemmy.World, it should let you in. I think I saw someone post about this bug the other day.

The specific point for me was the attacks on @christianselig@mastodon.social from that dumpster fire of a website.

I had been looking at Mastodon since @deviantollam@defcon.social spoke so highly of it and the platform it provides for marginalised groups but personally dislike the microblogging format, and when looking for Reddit alternatives it seemed like Lemmy would be a catch all for me. Looking forward to the integration getting tighter to expand discussions across the fediverse.

Pauper is a very cheap way to play Magic, 60 card decks with commons only. Some of the top competitive decks only run about $30, and you can build fun decks up with 10 cent cards from your LGS.

For casual play, my favourite is still Commander though. You can definitely build commander decks on a budget (one of the ones I made run me $26) and the format is a lot of fun!

Not an easy problem to solve by any stretch, which is why I assume core functionality is the focus before doing it, but better than the multiple persona issue we have at the moment.

In my early exploration I have 1 Lemmy and 1 Mastodon account, but all my eggs are in one basket should it go offline. If I wanted to have choice of even 2 instances for each service, I’m now looking at 4 ‘handles’.

Not a fun problem to solve, but long term it’s not a great problem to have. At least if I can run my own identity server I don’t need to trust a single entity outside of me with my online identity.

I’m still figuring out how it works, but seems Mastodon doesn’t sync the history too well, and only stays in sync if at least one person on the instance is following the community. Maybe the old ones are delayed sync, or someone that was subscribed then unsubbed before another took over? It’s getting the Snoo hug of death at the moment, so I’m expecting weird behaviour!

Will be interesting to see where it lands!

I agree, I see you’re running your own instance, I’m holding off on that until something like SSO comes online for the Fediverse and I can run my own ‘identity server’ to log into whatever apps I wish.

‘Communities’ is the Lemmy term for subreddits, although I think it gets referred to as a ‘Group’ in Mastodon and a ‘Magazine’ in kbin. Early days I can tell, maybe as things get more established a unified language will emerge.

Do you think better threading in Mastodon might help? If comments showed up as threaded replies and only top level posts got their own thread, would you engage cross-platform more? The style of post is different, but I feel if they felt more in the style of the platform you are viewing from then it could lead to some interesting discussions!

Being able to centralise your own identity server (with your choice of authentication method ideally) and federate the services/content would be a great option for those who want one identity across the fediverse.

New to the tech, but if that identity server could also act as your ActivityPub ‘master’ server for all services so you have a login that when entered to any instance would show all your messages and subscriptions could make for a great experience.

I’m running a 40% split at work, and I’ve noticed a massive difference in back pain at the end of a long day. Having the shoulders open and rolled back improves my posture and has made a world of difference to me.

A small quality of life thing, but some way to mark notifications as ‘read’ automatically, either when i click through to view it in the thread or when i vote on it. Maybe I’ve missed a setting somewhere, but when someone replies and I go to read/interact, the notification number stays there until I manually go and click ‘read’

A bit more broad than r/shittyaskscience, but to tide you over there is ShittyAskLemmy

I remember Reddit being quite confusing when I started and different to most social media. It took me a while to get my head around following communities and not individuals. Federation is something quite different, but the feel is very old school reddit and I’m finding it pretty easy to learn, just with less creature comforts at the moment that I’m sure will come with time.

I tend to drop the numbers when the base name is available, but I know a lot of friends go for consistency across platforms and the number helps ensure it’ll be available on any new platform they come to

I feel personally attacked by this one

I hate this sort of anti-consumer rubbish, so many people will just click through this and end up throwing the whole thing in landfill in a year or so…
