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

hoping this isn’t leading to a sewer opening or sketchy van uh….sure…?

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.

Here in kbin you have to know the whole long address

The @ of the person do you want to follow

The full @ of the mastodon server

two for two on forgetting to close my quotes 🤯

KAY bin … right? (RIGHT??

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.

So I guess I could finish that thought —

This is a place I imagine as someplace are actively contribute to. I’ve been gone for a few days, and I’m just realizing today how worn out I’ve been.

I dig it here so far

… 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.

Agreed. I was thinking about reposting it in my little magazine and thought that was overkill. But now I’m re-thinking it …

I have an inner critic that I’m trying to understand. It’s a part of me protecting me from risk/vulnerability. My plan/hope is to appreciate that the critic is trying to protect me and also not have the last word. It’s hard. I’ve been in therapy forever, but that’s OK.

I believe editing words is its own special kind of hell, lol. Having to come back and look at some thing you wrote is … I’m trying to find a way to make that not be a drag and I haven’t found it yet.

yo that’s niiiice

Also it’s tricky

If people are mostly mastodon-based, you want to follow them as people

But on kbin content you probably are better off following the magazines / articles that people create, rather than the people who create them? thoughts?

cough Meta cough

Also here’s a great post about a search engine that searches across kbin, mastodon and lemmy

In here, I should stand on my creativity, not on my consumption.

This is so great. I need this reframe.

Oh wow, that took me back. Had to google when they closed.

fwiw the desktop experience is tons better. under settings, make sure you turn infinite scroll off, so you can finally see where you are. happy hunting.
