I find it funny how it’s a different company every year. I don’t follow these services closely, but I lived at Collegetown near UR for seven years and there’s a station at the corner of Mount Hope and Celebration, so I saw them come and go. From Pace to Hopr and now Veo. That I had to look up what they were just a few years ago speaks to the transience of the services.

Edit: replied to the wrong post. Good luck with the new community!

I just joined lemmy.world a few days ago and already subbed to /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml. This community seems pretty active.

I only mention this because i just came across this post: What are you guys doing when there’s multiple communities for the same thing across instances?

(I’m not sure yet the best or recommened way to link directly to a post.)

This highlights the point in that post. I’m certainly not disuading anyone from joining this new community and hope everyone finds the best one that fits them. I’ll keep my eye on your new community. Good luck!

Nothing wrong with a bit of competition

Totally agree

I had that problem earlier when subbing to a few communities. I solved it by tapping the “pending” which un-subbed, then subbing again and it worked. I chalk it up to performance issues. Growing pains.

One of my favorite “new” places is The Richmond. It closed a few years ago after several decades. It re-opened last summer after having been re-opened and closing once in between. As I understand it, the owners of the prior incarnation had differences and decided to part ways.

It’s now owned by Mortalis Brewing and serves many of their beers, but also others cans/bottles and cocktails. They partner with DoughBoys for food, which is fantastic. They have a variety of pizzas cooked in a brick oven, as well as wings and truffle fries that are on point.

It’s on Richmond Street off East Main Street, a block or two down from the Eastman School of Music.

I KNEW there was another one, but I couldn’t find it!

I ran across programming.dev earlier. Great use case for a specialized instance.

I like it more than Discord, which a lot of subs have been directing people to. Nothing wrong with Discord - it’s great for live chat and whatnot - but I don’t find it to be a good reddit alternative. Every time I drop in I feel like I’m walking into the middle of a conversation with no context.

I love the post-and-reply paradigm with threaded comments, so Lemmy feels like a much better fit for me. Makes it much easier to casually browse and consume content, and participate in a more asynchronous manner.
