Lemmy is like email. You only need one account on one server. They all talk together. When you browse all, you browse every post from every Lemmy server. You can subscribe to every user and every post on any other server. You are not limited outside of the rules of the server you join and there are no additional steps needed to do so. Subscribing to them is like subscribing to anyone else.


more below about a potential current situation with Lemmy.

Defederation is a consequence of this kind of setup. At any time, any server owner could defederate another one, making their content unavailable on the one who defederated the other.

This recently happened with beehaw and Lemmy.world. It is currently a bit unsure how this will play out over the next few months, but if I had to wager a guess, Lemmy will not be one place, or one place participated in fully by everyone involved. The experience will be slightly different depending on who you signed up with and their core values.

Choose wisely.

I'd block lemmygrad, tbh.

I'm not blocking Lemmy.ml. They are worth a little more than one or two tankie mods. If it skews a little too far that direction, tho... maybe.

With any luck, the community itself will sway larger instances. Smaller ones... who cares?

It took a lot of work and effort to migrate my ex's photos off of her iphone and onto an actual hard drive. They funnel the average person into their cloud services with proprietary file extensions, low storage space, the asinine problem of having to have the phone open and unlocked for files to transfer to third party apps, thanks Nextcloud on IOS, and cheap introductory fees.

I owned Sonic 2 and Columns and... not much else.

As far as a retro systems and emulation is concerned, I mostly ignore it on favor of the Genesis, which has mostly the same games just better versions of them.

I'm sure there's some game gear only banger I'm unaware of.

There is a certain type of CRT display that will vibrate and distort in your vision if you make a fart noise using your tongue and hold it for a few seconds.

I did this repeatedly in elementary school on old Macs.

We can finally act like pompous 4channers and tell ledditors how cringe they are.

...until they become distinguished people of society and join the upper crust of the Lemmy socialites.

Hey man, I just want you to know that you're doing a good job today.

I proudly own a steam controller that I never use.
