At least we got other instances, so we can keep scrolling lol

I was actually scrolling through to see if anyone posted anything about the outage hahaha. Do they make announcement posts to warn about an outage for Lemmy version updates?

Right on man! Cybersecurity is such a cool thing, I’m on the software engineering side of things but looking at how to break software has always intrigued me. Good luck!!

That is so spot on! I’ve not met so many people that have had bunnies but I basically grew up with them.

Want to start off by saying I love lemmy and I know it’s not perfect but things will get better. There are many people though that don’t have a high tolerance for bugs. The bug with browsing the All page would probably turn many off. Instances also might be too confusing for some people and they would rather turn back to what is most familiar. I’ll admit that I still am a little bit confused about how instances work but I’d rather put more effort into learning about this platform, contributing to conversation to help grow the platform, etc. Not many users would want to put that effort in though because they seek something easy, familiar and maybe mindless to pass time.

I feel the same way! I used to only lurk on reddit, I had an account for years and only made a couple of comments. On here I’m commenting and engaging more because I want to do my part to make the community grow. I really want to see this succeed because as a dev myself, seeing what reddit did to third party devs, to the dev of Apollo, I refuse to support that in any way, not with my data or with my time. I might make an attempt to piece together lemmy android app or see about contributing to Jerboa soon before my fall semester of school begins. I truly wish for this platform to grow

Which OS are you on, android or IOS? On android I’m using Jerboa and it’s honestly quite a nice app for being in the alpha stage, didn’t check to see if it’s on IOS as well

Brought back PTSD from when I took a mainframe assembler course a few semesters ago, I still get anxiety if I see that professors name in my student email inbox.

Image pop up and also changing how they handle comment collapse was just chefs kiss

Thank you for posting that, really happy to see so many subs supporting the effort. Hope more will join too but regardless of the outcome, I think I’m staying on lemmy, the interactions here feel different than those on reddit and I enjoy that

Don’t be so hard on yourself man, your friends accepted you back because you provide something that they don’t want to give up! Social Media is not healthy for us humans. You were able to take a step back and realize that maybe you made a mistake in how you executed moving away from a platform with your friends on it, mistakes happen and it sounds like your friends understand that and you also now understand how much they mean to you, it’s growth

I was mostly on reddit for the information I got from the niche communities I joined. Posts regarding GPU passthrough for virtual machines, the configurations people used, problem solving for those virtual machines, I loved all of it. I only lurked though, very very rarely did I even comment, on here I’m trying to be more active. I’m hoping that as communities grow, I can get the same information I got from the reddit subs I lurked on

A good portion of that game freaks me out. Especially because I have a massive fear of open water. Good ass atmosphere for sure though

Man it’s been a while since I heard that title. This game definitely has a special place in my heart, the soundtrack too, such intense nostalgia for me

I almost bought the early play version of diablo 4, took a lot for me not to buckle. Im going to wait before buying starfield, see how the release goes, hoping the game is a huge success because the latest gameplay sure got my attention

I’m all for it, this is actually hilarious

They are definitely " improving " the default reddit app with their planned advert updates

I’m glad, hopefully it’s more pressure on reddit to change their tune, we will see though

Did the same thing, replacement is Jerboa!
