argh thank you, I clearly have not had enough coffee yet. I know you can edit titles, I’ll just leave it LOL out loud

Smh my head.

It stands for Wreaction actually.

My Reaction Wreaction.

ATM machine

PIN number

We need an ATM, but instead of a regular ATM, make it a machine that works automatically as a bank teller

For quite a while there, Lemmy.world was the only one that handled the reddit apicolypse rush and stayed up reliably. So it became the defacto funnel point to the Fediverse.

Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml were tankie cesspits, Beehaw were too busy sniffing their own farts yo approve registrations, Lemmy.ca gave the impression they were a Canadians-only, eh instance and a pile of others were yet to come on line or be stable. So thats where we are.

There’ll be another migration wave and may be there will be more diversification in this one.

There needs to be a profile export/import functionality

There is another point, which will be maintained still: decentralization allows you to jump ship and still use the service. If lemmy.world gets bought out somehow once it gets big enough, you’re free to leave and not lose anything. You can go to another instance or create your own with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the Lemmy instance…

The crapshoot and oversized influence issues are kind of core to how humans do things unfortunately. Even well distributed, the insurance sizes would likely adhere to zipf’s law, but the most talkative, and thus the majority of the content, would come from instances where those kinds of people flocked together. And the crapshoot is just decentralized administration being hard.

if it does not last you will ask for a ticket refund

I lost track of Voyager development, how do you like it so far? I’m getting tired of using the browser on my phone.

Thanks, glad to be here!

I can tell, outages seem rare and your instance’s latency is pretty low (esp compared with others). Props to your DevOps/infra team, everything appears to be solid and reliable.

Thank you, good to be here and nice to meet you! Yeah, everything is solid all around. I know how challenging it can be to maintain, so kudos to you and your team!

The main Kbin instance, https://kbin.social. I don’t think it warrants a block just yet, but it could become a real problem if the spam in its communities doesn’t get under control (i.e. - new mods get added to handle it, for starters). Some communities have been getting hit by spam posters for weeks without end.

There’s just one guy running the whole thing. It sucks because it’s a good place with good people and the owner is a nice guy, but the lack of administration & communication is killing it.

I don’t remember anything more than this, but I do remember seeing posts about transfer tools. So do some digging and you may find what you need.

You probably just need to wait since you account needs to be approved. Alternatively you can join a smaller instance that doesn’t require manual approval such as sh.itjust.works (what I’m using)

There are several communities like https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/newest that are riddled with prescription drug and direct links to pirated content. It has died down recently and it looks like someone or something* has been pruning them, but there’s still several links that haven’t been scrubbed. I mean, I’m just speculating about who/what is cleaning up, because there’s been no administrative communication about…well, anything lately.

I mean, I love the guy, he has been nothing but kind to the userbase, but he’s spread himself way too thin and the cracks are really starting to show. There’s no oversight, and that is bad. Because some dumbfuck is gonna post something really stupid one of these days, and that instance is gonna get a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons.

I see you’re on fedia.io, I did consider a couple of the forks for a hot minute. FWIW mbin does have a team working on it, so that’s a good start!

You are on lemmy.world you can see it at least in the web browser in lemmy

Hey @FenrirIII@lemmy.world, I looked it up, and there is an upcoming option to move your account in the Lemmy software release version 0.19 :

Users can now export their data (community follows, blocklists, profile settings), and import it again on another instance. This can be used for account migrations and also as a form of backup. The export format is designed to remain unchanged for a long time. You can make regular exports, and if the instance becomes unavailable, register a new account and import the data. This way you can continue using Lemmy seamlessly.

Note that this won’t export posts and comments. Right now lemmy.world is still using version .18.5 of the server software, and according to this announcement the admin team hasn’t upgraded because of stability concerns, which is understandable. But the export feature is coming here, Fyi. Hope this is helpful.

I’m curious, how do you not know which instance you signed up on? Do you access Lemmy from a web browser or an app like Voyager or something? From your profile, it looks like you are registered on lemmy.world, like me.

WRT moving accounts: most people just create a brand new account when they find a new instance they really like, but I remember reading that there’s supposed to be a way to export all your user data and import it to another instance…as long as the source and target instances support it, that is. yeah, sorry this is wrong, I think I misremembered, there’s no real way yet to move your posts and comments to another instance.
