See https://sh.itjust.works/comment/113002 for the story of sh. Like I said in that comment, I can't prove I was the one BC I nuked my reddit account, but the tldr is I was being a smartass on reddit and they rolled with it so naturally I had to join this instance, lol.
this
I gotta remember this
I have no way to prove this story since I burned my reddit account, but I might as well share: when I was checking out lemmy for the first time I got both a beehaw and a lemmy.ml account(both were a pain to wet up) and both had serious reliability issues(this was right after the API announcement). I was looking on reddit to try and find more info about other instances then I found a comment chain with a couple of guys, one said he had a server, the other said he had the domain itjust.works and was looking for a subdomain. I though about it for a moment, and in a moment of sheer smartassery I suggested sh.itjust.works. not long after I saw in the comment chain that they went with my suggestion and put the server up lmao. At that point I knew they were chill, so I made an account on here as soon as I saw that it had gone up, and it's been rock solid ever since.
Agreed, what needs to happen is an option that allows users to follow links from foreign instances in their home instance seamlessly. I have to imagine with the ramped up amount of development in lemmy that some of the devs must be working on it.
For real? You rock devs! 🤟
Right on! So I have a question, if I posted something that got me banned from lemmy.ml (such as an article criticizing the CCP for example) I would just not have access to the communities on that instance right? Like it won't affect my experience in other instances right?
Its great, but I still want comment sorting before I start to prefer it over webui.
Yup. On Facebook/Twitter the product isn't the content, its a whole shitload of agregated personal data of the users and advertisements that use said data to target the users, so its only natural that these companies would be spending ludicrous amounts of money finding new ways to collect and parse that data.
I'm at the point where if I can't access it on my phone with an open source app I don't want any part of it. I'm a big fan of open source and I want to stick with lemmy if I can.
congradulations, you have now beat reddit itself for uptime, lmfao.
Now its just getting sad, lol.
Edit: nvm I thought this was about today's reddit. Its about early reddit.
The best technical way to do this is with a reamp box, that way you can be sure that the line level output of your interface is being properly stepped down to instrument level for the amp. If you have an expensive amp I would go that route. If its a $15 amp from the pawn shop it might not be worth it to you, and you could just feed it a really quiet monitor signal.
