It feels like if Twitter and LinkedIn had a baby, it would be Threads.

Thank you for the reassurance, I think I will share my hobby once I start! Maybe someday you’ll see a gemstone on your feed and recognize my name. 😄
Thank you! You’re soothing my nervousness quite a bit lol, I’ll take the plunge and start posting as soon as I have my equipment!
I’ve never used Instagram before but I would like to start posting photos, however the vibe I’m getting from Pixelfed is this is a medium for photography art. I’m learning to facet gemstones and thought it would be cool to do photos of my gems that I cut to show my talent progress. Would that kind of non-photography art fit in on Pixelfed?
Does your picker have a little light inside it, or is that just the way the light is reflecting because of the cut itself?
Some clever coding genius should host an instance for a bot they make that stays federated with everyone, and the entire point of the bot is to crawl across posts and anyone posting from Threads gets a nice public reply about why Threads is a toxic instance and they should switch to a non-Meta one immediately.
Looks like I need to buy me some cute devil horns to wear when I go vote.
Sauce? I’m in Texas and I just tried to access it hoping to collect a screenshot of the blocked message to share with you all, but instead I now need eye bleach.
Edit: OP your comment is misinformed. PornHub just blocked Mississippi and Virginia. Texas will be blocked on September 1, and Montana in January, but they are not blocked right now. Hopefully this info saves others from surprise penis.
To piggy back on this, images in between texts also aren’t showing, despite the improvements so far.
https://lemmy.world/post/195020 <-- this post is a good example, in web it’s very different from Memmy.
Edit: I think Lemmy.world is having a struggle, here’s an alternate link to the same post: https://vlemmy.net/post/67734
Oh gosh, I’m horrid at having half finished projects… Now you tell me I can leave stones on a dop for ages? I’m going to have to be militant with myself to avoid hoarding half-done gems. 🤪
Please share before and after photos if you can! I love seeing the difference, it helps me get excited about the few rough I have right now.
(PS my ultra tec will be here late September - it’ll be a few months before I can post anything exciting 🥺)
I woke up this morning without a Memmy update alert and my first thought was “OMG is gkd ok???”
Then I get an update pushed to my phone while pouring my coffee… The universe is right again.
Dracula purple gang rise up!!!
Although it would be fun if people could make and share their own themes. That’s probably a nightmare to program, but it would be neat!
This is exactly what I think. We might see a fraction of a spike from the few holding out until the very end, but it won’t be this mass exodus people keep proclaiming it to be.
Apollo has published many blatant warnings to the app about the shutdown, you literally can’t use the app without seeing them. Nobody using Apollo is going to be surprised at being cut off.
I assume the other apps are doing something similar to warn their users.
Those who care are already finding their way over here. Those who don’t care are using the Reddit app. Those who are somehow still ignorant of what’s happening probably don’t use Reddit enough to know the difference.
Maybe more of a sunk cost fallacy? They’ve invested hours of labor in maintaining their community, to suddenly give that up and let some bootlicker take over feels like admitting all that work was for nothing.
That kind of dedication would be welcome over here though! I hope they find their way here.
I wish I could upvote this response a hundred times. 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly the speed at which you create and implement and fix these things is incredible - and mildly alarming. Do you sleep? Is your blood at least 10% caffeine by now?
ARE YOU A ROBOT IN DISGUISE???
But for real, thank you for all you do and a huge kudos for how freakishly efficient you are. 😄
For me it’s not about the immediate abilities to use Reddit/Lemmy, is about my projected ability.
Yeah the Reddit app sucks and it’s slightly better than the iOS apps for Lemmy… for now.
Reddit has had years to improve their app and has not made much, if any effort to do so.
Meanwhile I’ve had two updates today to my beta iOS app for Lemmy, fixing bugs before I’ve even had a chance to find them and enabling new features literally every day.
The future only looks promising for one of these platforms, and that’s why I’d rather weather Lemmy’s growing pains instead of endure Reddit’s stagnant state.
Probably a troll. Anyone who actually read the post would have comprehended this mod was actively working to make the sub better (or at least help it survive) by revamping their bots/automod. That’s not something a lazy powermod would ever do nor worthy of ire and disrespect.
They’re just trying to get a rise out of the lemmings. Best to leave the troll under the bridge.
That depends heavily on what you plan on serving them with. If it’s being served with something that would pair with a cooked and softly charred onion, hell yes.
If you’re just planning on eating a whole grilled onion by itself though, you’re off your rocker.
Garnets are my favorite stone 😍 I’m really excited to facet a whole bunch of them when my machine arrives - probably going to be one of my first stones!
