Just a spacefaring raccoon that’s eaten all the food onboard. Sorry.

I have an alt for my main account. I just link back to my main account from there. I mainly use it when my main instance goes down. Likewise, I link my main account to an older account I had originally that I migrated from (all same username). That way, even if my new/alt looks really new, if someone cared enough, they could follow the trail backward to other older accounts.

That was quick! Logged in and went through a few skips. Not seeing anything worth noting, which is a good thing. I appreciate that it also pulls from smaller instances I’ve never even heard of.
I honestly don’t know how it should be. I’ll leave that up to you. I wasn’t logged in when I was going through communities. So that might be a way to filter them out easily - if you can pull a list of blocked instances from users’ home instances once they log in.
Pretty good. It’s kind of like Stumbleupon for Lemmy communities. The only “issue” I saw is it includes the forbidden no-no instances that are defederated by a lot of the bigger instances for being… troublesome.
LASIM can copy your current subs to another instance, as others have said. I wish there was a way to migrate posts/comments over. I guess you could just link to your old account in your bio though.
Yep. That was my first thought - how everyone says to use Matrix rather than Lemmy DMs for anything sensitive. This will be fantastic.
It’s taught that way in the US as well.
Right. I should have clarified. You can’t create a post in a community yet.
“Coming Soon” is what pops up at the bottom.
It happens. I’m glad you said something, because I was coming in with another PSA about trying to discourage this behavior. What’s cute now can easily turn into an unfortunate accident in the future.
I must have missed that, as I selected No Version Detection and ended up on 0.0.6 again. Thanks for the heads up!
It’s a reply to my other comment haha. I edited my comment here like 2 seconds before your reply came through to reflect that. Still good for anyone this far down that missed the reply. 😁
No worries! I just started using Obtainium recently, so I wasn’t sure if it was me - but it was the only app doing that after a new update. Glad it was easily and quickly figured out! 😊
Install F-Droid from the official site (should be an APK - it’s safe), and, from within F-Droid, you can install Neo Store. Then you can use Neo Store to access F-Droid stuff. Just make sure you stick to official/trusted repos, and you should be fine. I mainly use the Play Store for stuff, but sometimes the updates drop faster on F-Droid (or there’s a handful of FOSS apps that aren’t in the Play Store).
Mine won’t seem to update beyond 0.0.6 in Obtainium. It sees the update, downloads, click Update, and bam, still 0.0.6. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same thing.
EDIT: Dev is aware of the issue.
Slightly off topic. Obtainium sees that there’s an update to 0.0.7, but can’t seem to update 0.0.6. It downloads, tries to update, and boom - update available, with currently installed 0.0.6. Uninstall, reinstall, 0.0.6 again. I guess that’s just an Obtainium issue. A little weird though.
I remember there being a YouTube video of some people that did it in a small town (or neighborhood) and made, essentially, a DIY neighborhood mesh network. I keep looking up stuff, and I’m only finding terms like “relay mesh.” If I find the YouTube video after a reasonable search, I’ll edit.
EDIT: Was the term WISP (Wireless ISP) network? It’s a setting you can do on your router and what the videos I was watching were talking about. The YouTube channel is Freethink, and they cover it being done in Detroit, NYC, and Dylan’s Beach.
It’s tedious, but I found just looking at lists of communities to be more helpful. If something looks interesting, open it up, check it out, and subscribe. Browsing your subscribed communities is an infinitely better experience. Plus, if you’re willing to take the time blocking communities, I feel like that takes just as much time as scrolling through a list of ones for potential matches for your interests.
