Hi friends, I have a question for you out there. What is it like to drive an awesomely fast sports car. Like a Porsche or Ferrari or Lamborghini? My question is more about the accelerator pedal. Is it more sensitive? Or does it depress a further distance than your typical Ford or Buick would? How do you control the speed around town if the machine is built to go so much faster so much more quickly than your average daily driver?

Thanks for indulging me.

There has been quite a surge of sports on the ‘net as of lately. I do wonder why that is?

Right on. Sure the interiors might show their age. But for a car that’s pushing 30 years old, it is still incredibly sharp.

I had my battery replaced by Apple on my XS. I was down to about 80% life, maybe less. I have seen a very noticeable improvement in battery life. It seems to charge faster when I’m using it on a charger. And before I was losing like 40% of my battery overnight while my phone sat here. Now it’s maybe 2 or 3%.

If you go with Apple they also replace your speaker since it’s integrated or something? They also accidentally cracked my screen when replacing battery, so I got a new battery, new speaker, and brand new screen for like $80 or $90. Definitely breathed new life into my phone.

What is meant by:

In a Threads post, Zuckerberg took a light jab at Twitter while optimistically predicting that Threads could become the first online public square that attracts a billion users

Doesn’t Facebook already have more than 1 billion users?

Wow this is so cool, I had an Aero Press way back in my college days. Didn't know they were still in existence / popular. Best cups of coffee I've ever had.

One million vs. One? I like those odds...

I think my biggest issue is using the kbin website (or PWA) and being able to search for a different ActivityPub-affiliated website, but stay within the kbin instance, so I can subscribe.

I have a post above with some screenshots to explain my question, here’s a link : https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/609057/-/reply/1082038

@Lifecoach5000 As far as I can tell, kbin does work in a similar fashion. However, I am not sure if I am coming across two unique communities, depending on how I reach them (kbin search vs. Google search). Or if the discrepancy is because we are still in the infant stages of fediverse and not everything is going to mesh together 100% (e.g. some subscriber / comment totals might be off because they are not fully synced between instances yet?)

 

Can someone please remind me how to open a Lemmy community in kbin? Maybe this is a bigger issue on mobile.

If I open a federated community I see this in kbin : https://imgur.com/a/oFQnMqj

And if I click the link to ‘Browse more on the original instance’ I’m brought to this screen : https://imgur.com/a/uNCvirP

And there is no option to subscribe without creating an account on that instance.

I think I might have read you need to search with a specific phrase but I can’t find where I saw that.

Call me a bird, because I’m now migrating. Poor jokes aside, I’m hoping to ask a quick question. And I hope this is the place to do it. But since it’s a learning experience and I’m asking for help I won’t be offended if you tell me.

Anyways, I’ve been dabbling with kbin and Mastodon a bit. I thought I might like Mastodon since there is an iOS app. But I don’t quite like how it’s laid out. It seems like I need to follow people or things for them to show up for me. With Kbin it feels more like Reddit in the sense that there is an ‘all’ page comprised of many subsections to explore.

Am I correct in this assessment?
