Looks great, thanks for this!

I very much enjoy running into folks from the various crafting communities in other contexts, bumping into Mastodon friends on Lemmy and vice versa and then dropping into each others PeerTube comments.

Irl I live in a small town and absolutely despise not being able to leave the house without running into someone who knows us. But for whatever reason I find it adorable on Fedi 🤷‍♀️

My other account is on .world so I can use search to forcibly pull things onto at least that server (search for the original URL of the unfederated post or comment and then wait a few seconds). Sometimes doing that will also encourage whatever it was to federate more widely to more servers, but that doesn't seem to be happening as reliably either since the upgrade 🤷‍♀️

Yeah it seems like the federation issues with 0.19 were NOT actually fixed with 0.19.1. It's not just us. There's a thread up about it on !fediverse@lemmy.world and the Github issue was reopened a couple days ago, but obviously at this time of year we'll have to be a bit patient.

Yup, absolutely nothing I posted from lemm.ee yesterday made it out into the wider world. In fact I'll probably have to manually federate this comment too.

Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it. Maybe next year we need a rule about releasing anything in December when everyone's too busy to bugfix 😅

Technically not ready yet, I've got a big list of stuff to do over the holidays, but I'm working on it and it's super fun. Love this time of year when I can indulge my degenerate love of organising and making plans!

Well, I like to have my new budget spreadsheet set up by then and my tax return done.

Genuinely did once get hired to do some design work for "Facebook but for dogs".

They paid me money and I got to put photos of my own dogs everywhere as placeholders and look at them all day so whatever.

That's actually pretty handy. Cheers!

Honestly so much stuff I don't even know where to start. The world is amazing!

Blankets, bubblebaths, colouring in, making a mess, making stuff out of mess, chocolate, jigsaws, road trips, snowy days, macaroni cheese, exploring new places, playing games, giving and receiving hugs, dancing just because, wearing big whooshy skirts and making them go whoosh, cuddling dogs, cake, rollercoasters, ok you probably get the idea.

Also I got to go on a reeeeally big boat this year, that was awesome.

• Good support for multiple accounts
• Easy on the eyes, which means among other stuff none of that forced solid black background stuff as it gives me a headache
• Customisable text for similar reasons to the above
• Easy to post & reply & generally interact with people (some apps make it real difficult to continue a convo from your inbox, for example)
• Basic mod capabilities
• Multi-communities are a big bonus (this is why I keep Summit installed)

Generally I prefer more features over slick looks which I think is where a lot of people go the other way. Probably depends if you post a lot or are more of a scroller. I currently have 11 apps installed so will just keep testing them all out until one wins, lol.

There's a thread in !liftoff@lemmy.world where people are recommending their fave replacement but tbh pretty much every app gets at least one mention, which one is best probably depends on your priorities!

None of them really meet all my needs (neither did Liftoff, I had to combine it with Summit), so I'm trying to help out by testing !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world in the hopes that it could become my holy grail.

A couple of people have tried to get in touch with the dev to no avail. It's already broken for users on the couple of servers that are using 0.19 so only a matter of time for the rest of us, it seems.

Bear in mind Liftoff is probably going to stop working with Lemmy 0.19 so don't get too attached to it 😢

You just made me go back and check because I honestly didn't even know the explore page was a thing! Clearly we have very different styles of Mastodonning :D

PeerTube allows spaces in its tags, they get stripped out at one end or the other when a video federates to Mastodon to make them compatible.

I knew that would be a step too far. The dream is dead 😆

Yes! Although, I have to admit I've never rewatched Farscape since it was originally on, I was still in school and me and my bestie were obsessed. Kind of worried to rewatch and find it doesn't hold up. Firefly on the other hand, totally holds up!

Ok this will put the cat among the pigeons. And I probably shouldn't be admitting it on the internet, but I just have to know...

From just reading the title I expected this to be a joke. But, TIL!

Oh well, no further recommendations from me. But hello Trek-preferences twin, I guess :D
