Dry July: Anyone else giving up the grog this month? in c/[email protected]

Haha yeah I definitely don't miss hangovers 😂

Coming up on 15 months for me, surprisingly don't miss it considering how much it was part of my life. The odd non-alc beer is fun too.

Done with Twitter and Reddit in c/[email protected]

Agreed, I set up an account on Mastodon when everyone first left Twitter (not that I use Twitter much either) but didn't understand the fediverse back then. I wish there was a way to see if anyone I follow is on Mastodon but I guess that functionality went with the APIs.

I checked one of the 5-star reviews, at the end:

That being said, it's nothing amazing. It's just fine, it does what it does. I have nothing against it.

High praise indeed.

Does anyone else find it comfy here having the local relevant Australian related stuff come up here first? in c/[email protected]

I followed a few different Aussie subs so it's nice having them all in one place now.

Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah good point about the hardware. It's been well over a decade since I played with Ubuntu and a few others so the support has probably improved a lot by now.

This seems odd to me, I've dabbled with Linux before but I'm generally a macos guy where the os is the free bit. Charging for an os is outdated surely?

Lemmy is CEO-proof. After Digg, Reddit and Twitter, that term should be a thing in c/[email protected]

I jumped ship from Emby to Jellyfin a long time ago. Just looked at their site now: "Purchase Emby Premiere and receive additional bonus features such as Cover Art, Mobile Sync, Cloud Sync, and free Android apps." Pretty sure you get all that in Jellyfin already.

Owns, or has 300 mortgages?

how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm still on there for a few subreddits that haven't bothered with the blackouts, and there is no Lemmy alternative at the moment.

I use Sync so I imagine once 1/7 rolls round I won't be on there any more. I swapped the Sync and Lemmy icons on my phone though, so by habit I now open Lemmy 😆

Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge? in c/[email protected]

I'm a huge sci-fi fan and love the idea of a sci-fi server with communities for books, tv shows, etc to rehouse places like r/scifi, r/TheExpanse and r/SiloSeries. But as dev as I am I don't fancy running a server and being a super mod.
