I cannot deal with how smol she is omg

Honestly it is a bit weird, yes, but you do you 😄

I never did Twitter so can’t say what’s different about Mastodon. But I have two accounts there for two separate main interests, crafting and gamedev.

On both of those accounts it’s just a nice way to see what other people are up to within those topics, share my own projects, and generally meet new people and get into conversations around our shared areas of interest.

You can do that here on Lemmy too of course, this just lends itself better to longer in-depth discussions while Mastodon is better for more casual chatter.

I like them both and am happy with my life choices 😄

What a time to be alive 🍿

I mostly used RiF, but installed the official app during a trip last year to do logistics with someone who was using the built in chat.

I don’t tend to always have data on my phone, because WiFi is everywhere, and just add some when I’m going on a trip like this. I’d loaded up a fiver’s worth the morning we left, which usually sees me through an entire month in these situations.

Woke up after the first night away to an alert that my data was all used up. And on further investigation, guess which app was the culprit? Just literally sitting there overnight while I was asleep, gobbling up a month’s worth of data to do god knows what.

I uninstalled the app.

Yep they’re on fire, husband was on there but has temporarily moved back to Lemmy since Kbin isn’t federating. They’ll sort it aaaaht I’m sure.

Think you ended up in a different thread to where you intended, fyi.

Yeah everything is taking an absolute hammering atm and federation is all over the place. I’ve got two accounts myself. Just couldn’t bear the idea of OP having like ten accounts for different instances by accident :D

I know it’s not the point of your post (which I did read and also agree with) but just in case nobody else has mentioned it…

In your summary you said you’d signed up for “other instances of Lemmy” and I just want to make sure you know you don’t need to do that to join communities in other places! :)

Subscribed, new comments. It’s the perfect combo as it shows me new posts but also ones getting recent action.

I do regularly flip to local or all just because it’s fun to stumble across random new stuff, and also because I’m not subbed to many actually big communities (yet).

Been on Mastodon for a while, it was my intro to the Fediverse and I’d never really used Twitter so was surprised how well I took to it!

I have two accounts, if anyone’s interested in mostly crafty stuff there’s @thegiddystitcher@artisan.chat, or I also post hobbyist gamedev stuff and occasional snooker rants as @teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place.

Huh you’re right. First thought was maybe ml is down, but it doesn’t seem to be. How odd!

Subbing to all of them, contributing where I can, and seeing what happens :)

This question makes no sense because I’m British and we make literally anything sound like an insult.

I do both! Also the answer is yes.

Ocean. Mostly around Greece, and I’ve never been to Greece so it’s double exciting 😄

Already been pricing up river cruises though just in case we really take to it and decide cruise life is the life for us!

Understandable enough I suppose, there’s more crucial things atm! I do hope they get there eventually though, it’s a handy fallback feature over on Mastodon.

I’ve seen people literally signing up here just to make like 50 empty communities and not post or comment on anything at all. Definitely a lot of folks just trying to stake some territory that they think will be valuable in the future.

You’d need to sign up for a totally new account. There is talk of adding a migration feature but obviously that’ll require a bit of patience, they’ve got a long list of feature requests!
