Annoyed with my muffin pan in c/baking@kbin.social
[–] Datsourdo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've got a muffin pan I love from USA Pan, and like all their stuff, the non-stick is magic.

Are you a professional or a hobbyist? How did you get your start in programming? What type of project/s are you working on currently? in c/programming
[–] Datsourdo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've been working professionally as a software engineer for a bit over 20 years, and I was programming as a hobby for over a decade before that. Been in a number of different industries; you can find interesting problems to work on anywhere, but life for a programmer is always best at a company whose primary business is software.

Lemmy is written in rust.

Why are communities on Lemmy.ml more full compared to the same on a different Lemmy instance? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I think it's because of the server overload some instances have been suffering. It might be affecting sync between instances in addition to the timeouts for user interaction.

Lemmy compatibility in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

Yeah, there's plenty that's confusing. I also see that I can follow mastodon and calckey users from kbin, but they don't seem to actually show up in my feeds.

Why do communities start with an exclamation mark instead of a hashtag? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Datsourdo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm on kbin, and to sub to a community on a lemmy instance, I have to replace the ! with a @, because that's the actual underlying name, it seems. It's a bit confusing.

Favorite baking books? (kbin.social)
 

What's everyone's favorite cookbooks?

My #1 is going to have to be Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson. It was my introduction to real sourdough, and the basic Country Loaf recipe is a staple in my house.

I've noticed a minor issue when trying to subscribe to a Lemmy community. On the Lemmy instance, the link format for a Community starts with an exclamation mark ("!"), instead of the "@" used here and across other services like Mastodon.

Copy/pasting the community to the search bar doesn't work until I manually change the "!" to an "@". Subscribing to things on other instances is already somewhat confusing for new users, this makes it even worse.

Suggestion: if the "!" doesn't work, automatically try "@" behind the scenes.

As a side note, Lemmy instances have a helpful message telling you exactly how to subscribe to something from a different service or instance. I'd suggest putting a similar message in the Magazine sidebar along with the Magazine username reference.

I like this significantly better than Mastodon in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

And I'm here from kbin. The beauty of the Fediverse!
