Yeah it looked promising. Also a shame I never got to try it properly because it didn’t work for me from the start. Home timeline never loaded and errored out and I never got any kind of support response so gave up on it. Oh well.

(Also, hi Harry in the wilds of Lemmy. 👋😂)

It’s at that point I’d start looking for a new job.

Broken ice cream machines are a regular thing here in the UK.

We stream white noise through Spotify because it means it’ll be there on any device that’s Spotify works on. Phones, tablets, smart speakers, TVs, whatever.

My wife and I play white noise to my son via Spotify to help him sleep.

It’s the same rhetoric that the UK government are using to get a backdoor on messaging apps with E2EE.

YouTube still slips through the net unfortunately.

UK as well.

I had my invite and signed up. Deleted my account there two days later. It’s awful over there.

The average person doesn’t understand what that means, let alone actually do it.

Call me crazy, but Voluntary Resignation doesn’t sound very “voluntary” if it’s forced.

Yes that’s what I was suggesting.

iMessage isn’t a big loss in the UK. FaceTime would be.

WhatsApp pulling out of the UK would have the biggest impact. Almost everyone uses it here.

If there are spots left, you can sign up from the PixelFed website.

I have tried Kbin (before I’d even heard of Lemmy), but because I used Mastodon first, I’m unlikely to use another platform in that kind of way tbh. Maybe I should give it another look.

Yeah sorry, I assumed federation but I understand that isn’t always the case.

I like both so I use both. I find myself much less “active” on Lemmy though.

I find the community aspect of Mastodon to be much better as you get to know people. Less likely to get that on Lemmy in my opinion as it’s content/topic oriented.

I’m on PixelFed!

The PixelFed app is in TestFlight on iOS at the moment but the I believe it should be a full release in the near future according to the dev (@dansup@mastodon.social).

If you’re using relevant hashtags, then anyone browsing/following those hashtags would see the PixelFed posts on Mastodon anyway.

But you could create a Mastodon account and boost the Pixelfed posts for additional exposure as well.

Beta version for me. I want the latest updates even at the risk of bugs.
