I think I’ve finally gotten to the point on here where I’m following all if not most of the communities I’m interested in that are poppin on Lemmy right now.

Currently just hanging out on my couch, re-watching early episodes of The Simpsons, and reading articles online like its 2009. There’s something about browsing nothing but people speaking with no ads, no boosts, just all genuine conversations.

Anybody else feeling satisfied with their fediverse instances? Any favorite epsiodes of The Simpsons? :)

    I’m totally with you. I feel as lemmy develops, we’ll start to get more QoL. I’ve been having the same issue with not being able to post comments on random posts, and I have my own self hosted instance. I think it has something to do with the instance the content is hosted on being overloaded? Not sure how the backend works, truly.

    Going from an update, it seems to be due to Lemmy using websockets, which can break if you have multiple tabs open (which I tend to have when working with Lemmy). Recommendation for the time being (until they move off of websockets, which is coming in a future update), is to only have one Lemmy tab/window open, per instance at a time.

    What would also be kinda neat, is if I could eventually transfer my instance over to a kbin instance. I quite like the idea of being able to track my thoughts and experiences via microblogging, and I’m not sure if I want to have a seperate mastodon account for that.

    They’re technically different software, so I don’t think you can do a direct transfer, but you can interact with a Mastodon account from Lemmy (although Kbin segments it out a bit more nicely, with Mastodon-like posts being segmented off as “Microblogging”, and Lemmy-like posts as “Threads”). It might be easier since you have no posts on your instance, but moving across is likely going to mean that you’ll have to subscribe and make comments from the get-go again.
