Also doesn't help that we're still in 2020 Part 4: The Enstupidning™ right now so time is skewed lol

Didn't last year either. Don't remember if it ever did tbh, but this is 100% not a unique thing today.

Hard at work on the K at your 10 o'clock soldier! o7

lots of FUCKSPEZ already

I am contributing healthily to those lol.

For myself I have KES, Move Comment Box To Top, Notifications Panel, and Subscriptions panel, all of which have done wonders for me. (and tagging @HipPriest)

Made an account on BookWyrm last week and started adding stuff to it!

Absolutely stunning.

Sounds about white.

It’s impossible to find full episodes on USENET any more and torrent sites likewise.

Ahem

Bull-mother-fucking-shit lol

Now that's wibbly-wobbly!

Lol fucks sake.

Hmm..so on that DiscoverMy Hashtags page, just on the website. I'm following a good dozen-or-two hashtags..I only seem to have three appear on that My Hashtags page at a time. And at random. What the fuck lmao.

Ah I see where it is. Ya know..that makes sense and I think I can live with that.

God, Youtube has gone to shit lately.

Lately in this context, meaning about the last 15 or so years.

Fun pro life tip for Yarring purposes: Some of Ye Ol' Networks™ are still around and glorious. I still routinely use DC++ for comic books lol.

The wild west days of using Infoseek for your above-board searches, and Sinfoseek for the below-board ones.

Good thing is, any communities you enjoyed on lemmy, you still got access to!

Oh I didn’t release there was that much difference between Kbin and Lemmy, I knew they were similar but I didn’t release they sort of work together a bit more.

More than that too. Different coding, better (subjectively) UI, you can block users, communities, domains, and (coming 'soon') instances, the stuff I mentioned, plus we can see upvotes/downvotes and who did them on threads and comments like admins on lemmy can. Not sure if lemmy has userstyles yet via tampermonkey and the like, but we got tons too to customize the UI and add extra features, there's even a Kbin Enhancement Suite now lol.

Only drawback is the dev(s) don't have an API yet, so no apps at this time. Several apps are ready to add kbin once the API is up tho, and the mobile kbin is real damn good so it's hard to complain on that 1 point. I made a Beehaw and Kbin account at the same time, haven't touched Beehaw in weeks lol.

Do you prefer the style of Twitter, or Reddit? Tweets or threads? That's the big difference.

As a side option: Kbin. It's a Reddit alternative like Lemmy (and pretty much works the same way for the purposes of this), but it also has better federation with mastodon, and every community has both a 'reddit-like' half and a 'twitter-like' half so you kinda get the best of both worlds.

I've signed up for it. I didn't use Instagram much at all and deactivated my account 3-4 years ago now so I don't expect I'll use Pixelfed much, but from what I've seen so far I would increase my usage of it if followed hashtags appeared in your feed.

Maybe I'm missing something, as I said I'm new as shit to it, but following people has them show up in my feed, following hashtags seems to resort in me having to just fuck myself. If that ever changes I'll play with it some more.
