Not yet.

For kbin I use what I've recently learned is called a "progressive web app" on Android. I tried to save a bookmark and put a shortcut to that bookmark on my phone's home screen. Now when I tap that, it launches kbin in a sleek looking browser but without any of the browser parts showing. You can even long-press on the app shortcut to launch straight into different sections of the website (eg. Microblogs, magazines, or people)

Finding answers about Lemmy is an easy, 3 step process:

  1. Enter search query, followed by Lemmy
  2. Exasperated sigh, because apparently I haven't learned my lesson
  3. Enter search query followed by "Lemmy -motorhead"

How are the trails/parks near you? In my town, there's a paved path that runs along the top of the levee, and follows the river. It's smoo th and straight enough that I can lock the front wheel of the running stroller, and get a good run in. Or I can strap my son into a bike trailer. A short drive away there's a rails-to-trails that I can use for longer workouts. It's not ideal, but at least it's something.

Mostly though my wife and I are fortunate enough to work the same schedule and have a lot of family around to help out. Usually my wife watches him while I'm running after work, or I'll come home and watch him while she goes to a class. If we're both working out on the same day, we'll just leave him with one of our parents.

I mean, PR's are definitely behind me, but I can still get out for an occasional half marathon.

I actually decided to take thins in a different direction. I went to make regular scrambled eggs, but simply forgot the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, leading to the blandest scrambled eggs possible. I set the bar low and fell short. Whoops.

If you're brave enough, you could throw on some VR, have the drone follow you, and drive around in 3rd person.

When people say "modders need those tools" does that mean:

  • modders like to mod from the 3rd party apps cause they have easy buttons for stuff like, PURGE and BAN?

or

  • Modders are using bots and stuff that use the API to find and auto-delete posts with racial slurs or something like that?

That's nice to see. When I first saw the policy of having no downvotes, I wondered if that would leave no recourse against trolls and scumbags, but I guess strong moderation is the key.

I probably wouldn't want the entire internet to be so strongly moderated, but I'm really glad there are some popular places that are. Thanks for doing that.

I landed at vlemmy.net. I tried to register at a few bigger ones that gave infinite circles. By the time I got to vlemmy I wasn't really being too picky anymore, I was just trying to figure out if the problem was me or overloading.

A nice side effect of landing there is that some of my very few subscriptions are on beehaw, and we haven't been defederated.

I think you're justified to be wary of the buzzwordiness of Blockchain though. For the 2 days I spent learning about what all this is before I signed up, every time I heard "de-centralized" I kept asking myself, "How sure am I that this isn't some weirdly elaborate crypto scam?"

Bonus fear: I was also concerned for a while that this was just going to be a refuge for hate groups who have been kicked off of major platforms. I've been pleasantly surprised so far.

I think C-Smash VRS is just about entirely one-handed. Last I saw there was a free demo so he can even try it to be sure.

Hey, thanks for asking this question. I had no idea there was any issue like this, so I've been finding a bunch of communities through the search, and was surprised that none of them had more than 1 post.
