It’s so hilarious/fortunate/sad that that was the name of the file. We will never find the others now.

I got an intel right when the M1's came out because I didn't want to be a guinea pig for the M1. I guess I will move up to M2 when those prices start to fall because the fan is a huge drag. Otherwise I love it; it was my first Mac.

I think I'd say some thing kind of like no two are the same in a way. And by that I mean that each one has a little bit different technique. So that a bad experience with one might be because the vape itself is a piece of crap, or because of a technique issue.

All of that said, it is definitely worth the patience, worth it to your health, to vape instead of smoke though. So be willing to try a couple of different techniques when it comes to packing, or when it comes to how you inhale, to get the most out of the experience

Going a little bit different direction than some of the other responses, I feel like hash-tagging (wait that's called something else now...?) content is important in helping people to find you in searching. And I'm thinking of search as a particularly important function as platforms like this are growing.

I see posts that are heavily (15 or more) tagged.... that may not even qualify as "heavily" out here in the fediverse, just something new to me.

Been thinking about this a little bit and how I can personally lean into it versus my own insecurities. So this is a way for me to exercise self-promotion.

I dig it here so far

Enjoy. It will be a splurge for me one day.

howling into the void

Yep that's what feels like, and it's part of starting a community because how is anyone going to find you if you're not making any noise?

It's actually exciting. During my first week around here, someone framed it as the shift from consuming content to making contact and I found that really compelling

The other thing I'm thinking about is how the other site was like joining a conversation, but here we are starting conversations

... so I could host an instance with a magazine that is essentially a digest of federated instances, and I can add/remove based on whatever aligns with my principles?

I don't think I have that right, sorry but if you could explain it a little differently, I'm still trying to understand how the fediverse is.

 

Just some stuff I have noticed in spending too much time on this over this weekend

  • the UI has a sidebar that renders as a super long column on mobile; updates are coming. So you will have to scroll a BIT to figure out where you are and access the menu I'm talking about below

  • There are two settings menus: one in the hamburger menu on, and then there is a small gray gear menu. The gear menu let you access themes and the mini-menu bar is at the top that help with navigation

  • most users make their subscription list private for reasons understandably, but I will look at other people's subscription list to see if there is anything I am interested in following and / or just follow the people

  • you can set your homepage to just see your subscriptions. I understand that grouping magazine subscriptions is also on the pipeline

Between having a home page in my subscriptions, and setting my notifications and just scrolling through those to see everything that has been posted in my magazines ....

.... I am having what feels like my normal show up and scroll and see what's going on experience

All of that said, another user mention the shift from consuming to producing, which is really interesting and intriguing thoughts for me personally and how I relate to the fediverse

Any other tips or tricks?

How has kbin bin (been) for you so far?
