Merci pour les infos.

Je vais voir comment ça se passe. J'avoue que même si j'ai un compte piefed depuis hier, je préfère n'avoir qu'un seul compte à gérer...

SI on migrait sur piefed, les comptes d'utilisateurs seraient eux-aussi migrés? Ou faudra le faire à la main?

Seul les publi peuvent etre crosspostées, pas les coms.

Ce qui est l'implacable démonstration que j'ai encore tout à apprendre mais au moins, à partir de maintenant, je saurai ça ;)

Bah, je viens juste de poster une question dans le forum libre et je ne sais pas comment cross-post—ce qui, l'air de rien, fait de ma question une double question ;)

Comment s'abonner à une instance Piefed depuis Jlai.lu?

Question technique con:

Avec la fermeture de lemm.ee, certaines des instances auxquelles j'étais abonné migrent vers piefed.social. Quand je clique sur 'Join', il me porpose au choix de me connetcer ou de créer un compte piefed. On peut s'y connecter depuis jlai.lu, ou bien il faut se créer un compte là aussi?

Thank you very much, you're more than welcome.

As long as people know how to and are willing to socialize outside of the internet, and as long as they realize most knowledge is available outside of the Web (and away from those trying to take hold of it), they should not be that much different.

BTW, that 'outside of the Web' place filled with knowledge are libraries ;)

Have you an idea on what instance you want to migrate already?

I have had a real fine experience with sh.itjust.works (and with the French Jlai.lu, but this one is focusing on French language ;)

• 25 years and counting with my spouse. We've had our share of rough times but that helped us realize how lucky we were to be together and to realize how deeply we could rely on one another no matter what was happening.
• Be ok with shit happening. Constantly.
  No matter how well one think they're prepared something can happen that will wreck havoc on their perfect plan. I mean that in a very pragmatic way, not as a metaphorical way of speaking. Stuff happen all the time and one can either cry and rage and blame the world, or deal with it. Imho, the least inefficient answer is to learn to deal with it.

You got a point :)

d’ailleurs bonne idée, je vais vérifier.

C'est ce que je ferais, juste au cas où ;)

So, Ive recently gotten back into writing and been thinking about how much more fun it would be to write Outside.

I know it's not what you're looking for but since it's the tools I'm using for the exact same purpose you're mentioning, maybe they're worth suggesting?

There is no copy paste, no edit, no syncing either but depending what you wish to write, you may not need that—I certainly don't, and I even prefer this to more high-tech solutions for my purpose.

• It’s dirt cheap. Less than 30 cents for the Bic (I buy mine in bulk, normal price should be approx. 1.5€), and less than 3 euros for the notebook itself and they both offer at the very least a few weeks worth of writing autonomy. I reckon most countries should have local manufacturers for those tools (less shipping and less waste are always a nice option). Here in France, I like to use the French Bic ballpoint pens and the French Clairefontaine notebooks/papers (it also helps that they’re excellent products)
• It works great under the sun, on the beach, at the pool, or under the rain. Ballpoint ink is waterproof and quality paper (like in this notebook) can work under the rain and it can even be immerged under water. It will buckle but it will be usable (and readable, if one is using a ballpoint or a pencil) after it dried.
• Highly portable. It fits in any pocket (and small bag), and the Bic sits nicely within the spirals so no risk of losing it and I never need to search for it.
• It needs no charging. It needs no software or firmware updates. It has no bugs.
• It works great with any pen you fancy, be it this cheap Bic pen or some multi thousand € fancy fountain pen.
• One can use it to write absolutely anything. Poetry, the next best-seller, a secret plan to conquer the world, a list of errands,... You can also use it to sketch, to mindmap, to outline, and so on.
• It’s not unbreakable but one will need to put in some real effort. Meaning the thing can take a few beatings without any issue. Plus, if it’s too damaged, it’s cheap to replace.
• Thieve appeal? None. Try letting a tablet or a phone, even a cheap old one unsupervised on any table in a public space…
• Privacy? OK, it's not encrypted but at the very least no corporation is spying on my notes, ever. And I'm free to write anything I fancy, without worries.
• Backups? None. I don’t need any since I use for quick notes that I then reuse back at the desk: ideas, dialogues, short descriptions (a few keywords will often do it's rare I need to write complete sentences), or stuff like that. Even stuff I want to write about in my journal (that stays at home) I will simply write a few quick words so when I read them back later one I will remember what it was all about.
• Icing on the cake? Zero distraction. No social, no games, no Notifications to distract me, and no endless settings and tweaks for me to use as an excuse to fool around and to not be writing ;)

I know it’s low-tech and not trendy at all, but it works great and have been doing so for... centuries (for the notebooks in its current form) if not for millennia (handwriting) and has been used by many authors whose work we're still enjoying/admiring to this day.

I recognize that doesn’t really mean anything, but the way it’s gamified, whenever I’d make a controversial post or say something stupid or wrong and get even -1 karma, it’d ruin my day in a serious way.

Seems like you made the right decision by leaving it behind. Welcome :)
