No, I meant the instance itself. The server. The one who runs lemmy.ca is here in Canada with me.
It’s like when playing a game; You choose servers closet to you for the lowest ping time.
The other reason I neglected to mention was I like to support local. 😎
Agreed. I went with lemmy.ca since I’m Canadian and the instance is in my country.
I also heard Lemmy should perform a little quicker for me too this way.
8·1 year agoI used Sync for Reddit. The dev seems close to releasing the beta of Sync for Lemmy.
Connect for Lemmy has been a very nice alternative, especially after the most recent update. I might be torn once Sync is out.
They all appear to be in development, but yes.
They have over a billion monthly users, so I’m not sure they’re dead. Unless you were being sarcastic.
But… You reminded me I’ve been wanting to look into using PixelFed.
21·1 year agoI don’t mean this comment to be facetious towards OP.
Seeing reports that interest died down on a newly released item, be it a game, social media, or tv series, is just to be expected. May as well report that water is still wet.
It’s because of those Facebook surveys I never choose those questions.
I watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie so many times as a kid I can still lip sync most of the film to this day.
I’ve also watched Space Balls and Monty Python and the Holy Grail more times than I can count.
I haven’t been back on Reddit since shortly before July 1. I enjoy the vibe here right and the novelty of something new hasn’t worn off yet.
Some subreddits I was more into like Destiny 2’s and Diablo 4 don’t seem as busy here so I have a feeling I may need to lurk over there still from time to time.
Because they’re not sand, silly!
There are 1 billion active users on Instagram and those users were invited to Threads using an existing account. Celebrities, businesses, streamers, etc. all popped up on Threads within the first few hours of public release.
I’m a big nerd and just learned about the fediverse within recent months. Everyone else I know who uses Twitter and Threads have no clue what Mastodon is.
In Canada, for years, you were almost a fool for not upgrading your device every two years. The “regular” plans we all had involved a 2-yr contract in which time your phone would be paid off. But after that term was up, the monthly bill remained exactly the same. It was stupid, but a lot of Canadians just said, “Welp. Might as well upgrade then.” Then the CRTC here stepped up and told the big three carriers here to knock it off.
I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ that I held onto for three and a half years. That was the longest I’d ever kept a smartphone. It was going strong too. Alas, I found out security updates were knocked down to quarterly from monthly. And after this year, it would receive nothing more. I reluctantly looked into the Galaxy S23 Ultra as a replacement and thanks to a good deal, I have that phone now. It’s an amazing device too and I hope it carries me for another 3+ years.
I was trying to avoid spoilers but… Yeah, me neither. Cannot unsee!
Yet I’m so excited for the next season. What’s wrong with me?
Sorry! After that one guy, shrunk down and did that thing to the other guy, sneezed, and…
All I saw online were people speaking of that one scene. And to me, that trumped a lot of the others. 😂
Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot
Especially, “the one scene”…
I know it’s ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.
