I didn't realize this was a thing many American homes lack or are perceived by other countries to lack? I'm in the US and have one, my teenage stepson loves it for getting water up to temp faster for his cooking. I don't use it that often but I think it's worth having anyway.

Yes! I use mine almost daily. Love that I can go straight from the stove top to the oven without using another dish

Hi, I'm here because reddit's ffxiv sub is down for the blackout and possibly indefinitely. Looking to migrate away from reddit now because the whole thing is kinda getting kneecapped and I expect it's gonna get worse when the API changes happen.

Also, I play FFXIV, which you probably correctly assumed. Glad to be here, I hope to see more people in here because I don't know where else to go for this community. I've heard bad things about the official forums.

So far I like it. It was a little odd signing up because I would find an instance to sign up on and kept scrolling until I found a join button which looped me back to the list of instances. Or I would click on the "you must log in or sign up to comment " message on a thread hoping I could sign up that way and getting sent to the instance lists. I didn't understand to join the instance I needed to hit join from a drop down menu at the top of the page, until I tried looking there since the other options didn't work.

I was doing that through the website on mobile browser. Now that I have an account I am running it through Jerboa. It works well so far, I'm just learning how to find communities to subscribe to, and I'm not sure if when I search from the search options in Jerboa if I'm getting all possible results or just certain ones my instance is somehow connected to? From other comments it sounds like it's the latter and I'm not sure how to get around that.

Other than the learning curve I like it so far. I'm trying to migrate here from Reddit and someone there recommended I try this.

Yeah, I definitely need my partner to be OK just existing with me. Especially living with someone. Im at home to decompress and regenerate. Constant need for interaction is super draining.

I just joined Lemmy because someone on reddit mentioned in it a comment on a thread regarding the blackout. It's kind of cool getting into a community while it's still relatively small. I'm excited to see how things grow.
