Bill’s brings the people together! It’s one of the only places you’ll see a brand new Mercedes parked next to a beat up 1990 Mercury Sable.

Same here. It’s definitely on my shortlist for the next couple of weeks.

Super ready for this place to open up!

Summary:

Mastodon — all the privacy

Twitter — pretty bad privacy

Threads — we know everything about you

Super cool idea, and it’s only in Ann Arbor for now!

Hopefully the service works out for the caregivers and those needing care so that it can expand to more areas in the future.

Nice! Subscribed.

Super cool!

Disgusting… hope they catch this guy quickly.

I need to work through the coffee shops on this list, but I can say one thing for certain! Sweetwaters’ Dreamy and Dirty cold brews are delicious.

Currently reading The Winter Fortress by Neal Bascomb. It’s a good read so far!

Hey! Yes, as part of disconnecting from Reddit a month or so ago, I noticed there weren’t any A2 communities on Lemmy yet.

So I started my little community and have been working on breathing life into it ever since. I figure that good, vibrant communities with consistent activity will be very important to people looking for alternatives to Reddit in the future. I’m focused on being the change I want to see in the world 🙂

I’ll keep putting in the work over there – it’s good to be decentralized in case one of our instances goes offline. These are still early days for Lemmy, so I expect a little instability in the coming months.

You guys are doing great over here! Keep it up.

I wish the best for him. I wanted him to stay here, but he’s clearly unhappy.

He was given more chances at breaking into the league than most young players could ever dream of. Hopefully this is what he needs to become a good NHLer.

This is important given the recently highlighted racial disparity in traffic stops.

The police can still mail tickets, if appropriate. No need to stop anyone for something minor.

What’s an instance?

An instance is a specific website running Lemmy or another piece of federated software. For example, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are two distinct instances

What’s a community?

A community is the “sub-reddit” of Lemmy. Kbin uses the word “magazines”, but these are the same thing.

What are federations?

A federation is a group of instances sharing posts and activity data with each other so that it can be displayed to their respective end users. For example, I can post to a community on lemmy.world and then you will be able to see my post when you are browsing feddit.de.

Whats the difference between all these?

Let me know if you have additional questions based on my answers above.

What’s mastodon?

Mastodon is a piece of federated software that is built to look and feel like Twitter, similar to how Lemmy is built to look and feel like Reddit.

What’s Kbin?

Kbin.social is a website you can use to browse posts from the Fediverse. From what I understand, it is similar to Reddit as well.

What’s ActivityPub?

ActivityPub is the underlying protocol that Lemmy, Mastodon, and other pieces of federated software use to communicate with each other. This is how they notify each other of new posts, comments, upvotes, etc so they can stay in sync with each other.

Yes! Let’s make this place feel like home 🙂

Nice, I missed that! I have Apple TVs in every room at my place, so that’s a big upgrade for me.

I worry about your mental health if you implement your button though 😆

Glad he got a cup, as much as it pains me that it was with Colorado 😝

Man, 35 is too young to go! My thoughts go out to his family.

Ah, yes, the ole’ “backup a database to telegram” trick. Who hasn’t used that one?!?

It’s true, that thing is sturdy.
