I just added both of those to my reading list. They look interesting. Which would you recommend I start with?

Interesting, artist turned author?! How is his writing?

I’ve been out of town for the last 4 days, so I didn’t get much reading in. I did finish reading All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor however. I’ve also read about 50% through the 4th and final book in the series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on the personality of the main character and forces some self-reflection on ‘him’ and his clones.

I was also able to finish listening to:
[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. It ended so abruptly, and didn’t really seem to have an overall plot, it just sort of meandered until the auther was like ‘Alright, I’mma head out’… I’m not sure I liked this one, honestly. There was a lot of abruptly stopping the story progression to examine some random topic in detail.

It’s ridiculous that I can pay for MLB TV and the ONLY game I’m unable to watch is my local team…

I finished For We Are Many by Dennis Taylor - and about halfway through All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor. This is the third book in the series, and third I’m reading in 3 weeks - they are so much fun. The most enjoyable reads I’ve been through in a while!

I also just added Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons to my kindle today. I’m really hoping for some closure from this book. I was really put-off by the complete lack of any resolution in the last book - just one big lead up.

[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. I’ve read Hitchhikers Guide several times but have never continued the series. I’m not sure why, but I’m having a bit of trouble focusing on this audiobook. Maybe because it seem to be a lot of random explanations about unnecessary things…

To add to this; because of how federation works, having an account on artemis.camp gets you access to the same content using the app.

This was totally the answer - it appears having any instance blocked at all is causing threads to be filtered out of view, even my own. Unblocking all domains fixes the issue for me and there are a LOT more recent posts than I was seeing previously.

I don’t think @ actually pings a notification to users. He does respond to direct messages sometimes though.

Not sure if it is a coincidence, but that is the same domain I had blocked as well - unblocking fixed the issue for me too.

Sadly, I don’t think that these threads and comments are even visible to those who don’t know this is happening… I was not able to see any of the threads until unblocking all domains.
