"Is that a bottle in your lap, or are you just happy to see me?".

One of the great things about Lemmy is that you can control your user experience. No algorithms, no "suggestions" being forced on you, no ads, no data mining, no spez/Musk/Zuck. So curate my Lemmy space heavily and enjoy the peace and quiet and slow pace. R*ddit was my only social media for years so Lemmy is similar enough to that to be familiar and useful, but different enough to be worth using.

Go to your profile. It's in the top left corner.

Ah, sorry if I seemed snappy. I replied when all of my Lemmy apps were glitching and I was getting cranky.

In my experience, pigeons will ravage just about anything. They're like the goats of the bird world.

I provide a variety of foods, and spread them out so different birds can eat different things.

Well it was as laggy as the other apps, because of the update and the increase of signups. Also I found it difficult to navigate, to find the right buttons to push to access a certain thing. I know it's early days and I'm sure your app will improve in time, and I'll try it again later.

I found Summit later on, and it didn't work well for me.

I saw that Boost will require personal and financial info, location etc. It turned me off, tbh. At least the other Lemmy apps don't do that.

Didn't change my password, just reinstalled the app and logged in. But it won't let me post, reply, check messages, reply to messages etc. So not really worth it at the moment.

A lot of improvements, but some weird problems. Jerboa finally allowed me to log in but not much else. Connect is working better, but won't allow me to reply to one particular post ("incorrect language" or something). The browser version and wefwef are slow and glitchy - my comment about birds ended up in a conversation about Lemmy apps. I don't know anything about tech stuff but I get the impression that people are working very hard to fix all the issues. And the spezidus wouldn't be making things easy. Looking forward to a bigger better Lemmy!

The only one I could find on the Play store is Liftoff. I guess the others have to be downloaded from elsewhere.

I'll be collecting food scraps for the birds that visit my yard, maybe taking a trip to take a break from where I live, some grocery shopping, and hopefully catch up on some sleep if I can.

Jerboa crashes constantly for me now, doesn't even let me view anything. JSYK!

Jerboa is almost unusable for me at the moment. A lot of crashes, pages not loading, messages not sending etc. But I know that's inevitable at times. Restarting my phone seemed to make it worse. But I know you guys are on it! 👍

I thought you'd gone all spez on us for a second. Sheesh!

At the moment I'm only doing Duolingo because I don't have time, money or energy for anything more in-depth. Duolingo doesn't have the languages I'd really really like to learn, so I make do with selections from their best constructed courses.

I've been studying Italian for 3 months. I chose Italian because before that I was learning Esperanto. But the Duolingo Esperanto course became worse for some reason, and I figured Esperanto would help me to recognise a lot of Italian. I was right!

I started Portuguese a few days ago. Always wanted to try Portuguese, but the weird pronunciations discouraged me. Eventually I just jumped in and had a go. My ear is starting to adjust to it.

And when I'm bored with those 2, I revise my German. Mainly because I like the goofy voices on the German course.

I squeeze in lessons during downtime at work, and my colleagues don't seem to like it. Oh well. They shouldn't be so tedious to talk to!

My brain has also been operating slower than usual recently. Please fix.

Seriously though, keep up the good work! 👍

I didn't ask who he was. I asked why pick him especially for the malicious compliance thing.

I'm absolutely on board... but why John Oliver? Why him in particular?

The birds that visit me daily. Some of them land on me and have a proper conversation with me. Always lifts my mood.

S/he might've taken a 🗻...

I don't think they bite, but they're always a welcome visitor.

No idea, maybe someone will know.

My subscribed communities don't have the @whatever, just the name of the community. Maybe it's because of the app? Idk.

Yes, I'm on jerboa. I'll try the browser version. Cheers.

Pretty pointless, then.

Another question: how can I tell which communities I joined are from that instance? I tried to unjoin but I can't see anything that tells me which instance they are.

I appreciate the thorough explanation. But why did they defederate from us?

Nice formatting! 👍

I didn't get a t-shirt for moderating 😡

Couldn't happen to a nicer CEO.

I've been increasingly frustrated by reddit for years. The API issue was the final straw. I had 3 accounts and deleted all 3 just before the blackout. I left some posts because I didn't know how to nuke it all without doing it manually. But I doubt anyone viewed anything I posted as valuable, so I'm not bothered. I'm just glad to be rid of reddit, to be honest.

It's a relief to know it's not a weird unknown thing.

Yeah I know that. It's still sad to watch it crumble for such stupid reasons (like spez).

This is my first time watching an online community I'm part of disintegrate in such a violent way. It's surreal. And the reddark list showed some subs I didn't know existed, but wish I had. Oh well.

Yeah I wouldn't know how to. To do it competently, I mean.

I went to settings on the website version (the jerboa app didn't seem to want to let me pick a profile picture), and it was self-explanatory from there.

I came for the urination, I stayed for the swordfights.
