Instead of visiting the Mall of America and shopping at only what the mall will offer, using outdated infrastructure-- you can instead visit a variety of towns (“instances”) which each host their own cute boutiques (“communities”) specializing in a particular sort of item (whatever the topic of the community is). The instances can have their own rules that apply to its communities, but communities can also make their own rules, like a shop can. Skip the crowds and barely functional Supermall experience and find a better place to engage in discussion and get information.

He seems so obsessed with how people receive him that he’s probably already here somewhere to keep tabs on it. At the very least I like to imagine him paying some assistant to do such for him.

My opinion is likely outdated. I was really excited for the stream deck, but it struggled to work properly when I received it. And there were often issues with the clock and wifi that made it nearly impossible to use. Throw in some issues with audio not playing over tv speakers…

It ended up becoming an expensive paperweight over the last few months as it brought me memories of frustration and buyers regret rather than joy.

I’m not trying to make anyone angry or anything. Many people here seem to love it, so maybe I should give it another go. I hope some updates have maybe increased its performance. Just wanted to share my honest experience…

I’m a newbie, so maybe take with a grain of salt, but I think unlike Mastodons current functions, switching instances is currently not possible. Maybe it’ll be in the future? Again, I could be very wrong, but thought I read such earlier.

We got our cat from a human society, during a cheapo 45$ sale (typically 125$ or so). He was returned by a previous purchaser, I think because he hated other cats (still does). He’s the best thing I ever bought. 😍 Such a character, and now he has SOOOOO many windows to enjoy, instead of a tiny little cage. 😔

I guess I understand why subreddits cannot be deleted altogether, but BOY it’d be nice to see. Or at least delete all the content before leaving… 👀

Yeah, and it’s helpful to remember that I don’t want the content of the lazy, even if I do hate that the company will still get the $$$.

What do you use this for the most? It’s very useful at my work, but I’m curious about it’s utility in the home-- perhaps because I rent, it feels limited. 😁

They’ll come, I’m sure, but many craft and hobby-based subreddits, including r/wood, r/cardistry, r/MUD (or MUDs?). I’m looking to external sources for that type of learning new skills or topics.

I don’t really care for endless memes and shit posting, but deep content takes more time and effort, so patience seems necessary.

R/leaves has been a mixed bag-- lots of repetitive questions, but also some amazing and human stories.
