There is a bug in 3.30.1 making it sync everything, in a loop. Keep an eye on your data usage! https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/13738

I’ve only been on mastodon for a couple of days, but yes it is active, and depending on what you’re after it might we worth it. For me, it seems to be a nice mix of keeping up to date with things and people I already know, and at the same time stumble upon (related) things I did not yet knew about.

You will have to put in some effort to follow people/accounts/hashtags, but that’s kinda fun. Just try it out!

No way, I think my colleague mentioned this couple just the other day saying I 'd be interested in their stuff! Thanks for the link!

Dang this is some cool stuff, haven’t seen the concept before. So you made that yourself?

That’ll work when typing things online, but not in f2f conversations. I thought about ‘com(m)’ which will work, typed out in certain contexts, but I think that sounds too much like other words in several languages including English to use in speech. But if you prepend ‘lemmy’ to that it’s quite a distinguishable word that sounds like ‘lexicon’: lemmycom(m)!

There’s a lemmycom for that.

“Community” as the other replies already mentioned, but how do we abbreviate that? “Sub” worked well imho, but does “com” have the same ring to it? Any better suggestions?

I’m not familiar with the details of setting up a Lemmy instance, but can’t you already get the new instance up and running with a modified /etc/hosts instead of waiting for the DNS to be updated? That might reduce your overall downtime a bit.

It’s also helped me with some instincts/waste-aversion that might have lead to hoarding. it turns out I don’t actually need to keep things, I just don’t want them to get thrown away.

This sounds very familiar. One of our solutions was to donate a lot of stuff to thrift stores, though that does often not work for raw materials like wood. The next hurdle I need to overcome is to actually try to build something with such material and become more handy, as now I often feel I’ll just waste the material because I lack the skills. But I guess that even failing would be good use of such material.

If it’s okay with the instance, I’d love to share some of them here.

I hope it is, because I find this highly inspiring. Very nice job! Also, I need to figure out if there is an equivalent to that “Everything is free” page in my country. Is that a dedicated website/app ?
