Note: I am primarily on Mastodon and have been on-and-off since 2017.

I don’t know how much success you will have in the short term trying to pull “field experts” from Mastodon to engage on Lemmy. The vast majority of current Mastodon users came from big Twitter and Tumblr waves, not Reddit. There are different expectations re: etiquette and moderation between the two platforms, and Lemmy doesn’t have some of the moderation / privacy / security features that Mastodon users like.

Plus, a lot (not all) Mastodon users dislike Reddit’s culture and unfortunately, Lemmy has seen a sharp turn to mirroring that culture. Even I have been increasingly turned off in recent weeks; it’s only because I’m on Beehaw that I’ve found the Lemmy experience bearable.

What happened with blahaj.zone’s Lemmy instance? I’m on their Mastodon instance, not Lemmy, so I was unaware of anything happening with it.

I had no idea Hexbear decided to start federating until I saw the shitshow that is that thread. So glad I never have to see their BS lol

We don’t need bots. It’s concerning some people think any community /needs/ bots. That type of infinite growth mentality is wack and I don’t subscribe to it. Like you, I block almost every bot I come across and my experience only continues to improve.

Chuck looks (and sounds!) so sweet.

Yeeeah… It’s crazy how many quality of life features Misskey and Firefish have over Mastodon. I’m thinking about making the switch myself despite the big difference in UI.

To be fair, according to the article this project is less than a month old! I’m sure it will continue to improve.

This ain’t “American poutine” by a mile. This is “airport poutine” lol

Wyverns aren’t dragons? I thought the words were synonyms / interchangable … (Note: I have never played Skyrim)

Please don’t surrender your sick, elderly dog to a shelter. His quality of life will decrease there. The likelihood of him being adopted is extremely slim; what you will do is subject him to a confusing, stressful situation before he’s euthanized. Assuming you’ve had him since he was a puppy, 13 years is a long time to have a stable home, only to suddenly be abandoned. Your shih tzu (and you) will likely cope better if an at-home euthanasia is performed for your cocker spaniel.

Yeah. Beehaw isn’t on version 0.18 and Jerboa isn’t compatible with anything below that version, so I figured that’s why I went from no crashes to a bunch of 'em. I switched to Liftoff for now.

The music is so fucking good in JSRF and JSR. I’ve had the tracks in playlists for years despite not touching JSRF since I was a kid with access to the OG Xbox. It’s a shame it was never brought up to any other platform so I’m forced to emulate

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the reason I’m replaying JSRF all these years later! I’m (im)patiently waiting for its release

Jet Set Radio Future!

My week is going well.

I was planning to attend the local pride parade and festival yesterday, but didn’t go due to sheer laziness lol. So I got stoned and watched YouTube with my boyfriend instead.

Speaking of my boyfriend, three of his Horror Bishoujo figurines came in the mail from Japan today (Chucky, Freddy Krueger, and Edward Scissorhands). He’s excited to put them up and I’m happy for him.

Awesome! Happy Pride!!

I don’t see this as a problem at all. The internet has always been this way. If there was one singular Linux community in the Fediverse and you had to go there to discuss the topic, you’d just have Reddit. And Reddit already exists.
