Hey there, Welcome! I check in on that community as well – they’re doing a great job.

I wasn’t able to find any A2 communities before I started this one, but the community search tools were archaic back then. We’re talking ancient history in “Lemmy time” – nearly a month ago lol.

Thanks for stopping by… hopefully we can create vibrant alternatives to /r/annarbor.

I wish the best for him. I wanted him to stay here, but he’s clearly unhappy.

He was given more chances at breaking into the league than most young players could ever dream of. Hopefully this is what he needs to become a good NHLer.

This is important given the recently highlighted racial disparity in traffic stops.

The police can still mail tickets, if appropriate. No need to stop anyone for something minor.

Adding to the chorus of voices telling you to get a Sonoff stick.

The Conbee II is very old at this point and shouldn’t be used for new setups.

After reading this, I’m thankful that the city is moving towards not pulling drivers over for these infractions.

What’s an instance?

An instance is a specific website running Lemmy or another piece of federated software. For example, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are two distinct instances

What’s a community?

A community is the “sub-reddit” of Lemmy. Kbin uses the word “magazines”, but these are the same thing.

What are federations?

A federation is a group of instances sharing posts and activity data with each other so that it can be displayed to their respective end users. For example, I can post to a community on lemmy.world and then you will be able to see my post when you are browsing feddit.de.

Whats the difference between all these?

Let me know if you have additional questions based on my answers above.

What’s mastodon?

Mastodon is a piece of federated software that is built to look and feel like Twitter, similar to how Lemmy is built to look and feel like Reddit.

What’s Kbin?

Kbin.social is a website you can use to browse posts from the Fediverse. From what I understand, it is similar to Reddit as well.

What’s ActivityPub?

ActivityPub is the underlying protocol that Lemmy, Mastodon, and other pieces of federated software use to communicate with each other. This is how they notify each other of new posts, comments, upvotes, etc so they can stay in sync with each other.

Nice! This looks like a ton of fun. And $4 Dole whip from Cinnaholic too!

It’s dangerous for my wallet when I end up in Cinnaholic though 😀

Yes! Let’s make this place feel like home 🙂

Nice, I missed that! I have Apple TVs in every room at my place, so that’s a big upgrade for me.

I worry about your mental health if you implement your button though 😆

Sounds like maybe there’s a little refinement needed for that functionality but, like you said, it’s a step in the right direction!
