MicroWave
Pretty modest right now. Pi-hole and Homebridge on one of my old laptops.
lemmy.world, beehaw.org, and kbin.social are now in my rotation of daily (okay, hourly) websites. There’s no reason to solely rely on Reddit if there’s a chance to grow these communities.
I feel like the focus on explaining federation and the fediverse can be overwhelming and confusing for new mainstream users.
Instead of focusing on the technical details, it might be more helpful to simply direct them to a few major servers (instances) like lemmy.world, beehaw.org, and lemmy.ml and tell them to make an account (or lurk) and explore. The advanced features, namely being able to subscribe to communities in other instances, should be eased into it later.
That is something I think kbin.social has done a better job of. Yes, there are other instances of kbin, but new users are told start with that one and slowly branch out from there.
And for those interested in seeing lemmy’s growth, this page is amazing: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
Would love to see Messi and Jordi Alba on the same team again! I’m ready to spend $500 (so stupid) on a Miami game when they come to town.
Do nothing. Banks in the US will claw it back.
I wonder if lemmy.world mods @ruud@lemmy.world or @sunspider@lemmy.world know anything about “pending” registration.
