Me too. I seldom posted on Reddit the last few years as I felt it got lost.

It feels like home! I didn’t think it would, but I’ve settled in. I like that it’s a smaller community as I feel my comments count for more somehow. I also like that we’re all (or at least a large proportion of us) just a little bit clueless about what’s going on or how stuff works round here - we’re muddling along together as best we can and it’s lovely.

It feels a lot like Reddit did back in the early days before it got popular, in fact. And I think the existence of multiple instances as opposed to one site has the potential to keep it that way - if your instance gets too big or too busy for your taste, migrate somewhere quieter or even create your own.

I’m having exactly the same issue trying to login - I’m guessing that as it’s hosted on OP’s own instance, our instances are not yet federated with his. Not really sure how to remedy that.

Edit: Managed to subscribe with the usual workaround - searched the community list for aquariums, not there. Searched again with !aquariums@lemux.minnix.dev, still not there. Waited a minute, searched again for ‘aquariums’ and it was there and let me subscribe.

Oh they were hopeless, they made so many bad decisions and just got lucky - I was fuming at the end 😂

This is brilliant! I can’t bring myself to go back, even to visit, as I only use mobile and refuse to use that shitty app. But it’s great to hear people are fighting back.

Only one, I was tempted to sign up to another but I only just about got a nice mix of subscribed communities on this one and don’t have the patience to go through it again. I don’t really see the point, either, unless you are signing up to a second one that isn’t federated with your current one.

Also, shout out to ReddThat.com, absolutely zero glitches or issues so far except for those that seem to be fediverse wide. Good place to be with good people.

Oh 100% she was fantastic. Ladi grew on me as well.

Oh fab, thank you! Husband and I were looking for our next thing to watch together. Will give it a look.

I totally agree. I can’t be trusted to make a decent cuppa until I’ve had at least two cuppas. It’s a problem.

If you’ve still got an old bottle in your recycling, keep one of each colour cap.

Just finished binge watching Race Across the World on iPlayer, very entertaining and actually learned a lot of world geography.

I went with ReddThat as the past tense seemed apt. Also it’s a small enough instance not to feel overwhelming, while being large enough to provide content.

I’ll miss the breaking mom / broken mom communities

I prefer Connect, I did try Jerboa but find Connect more intuitive and familiar having migrated from RIF.
