This community is actually pretty active!

That’s so cool!!

Incredible

Good point!

But isn’t the intention of the fediverse to keep our people just trying to make money? Even a chill podcast needs to make money.

Although maybe since the fediverse gives users/instances so much control we could keep them in line hahaha

Tbf if you want a big following for ads and such you need to use whatever has the people on it.

Lemmy is great for personal hobbies and enjoyment, but not running/advertising a business (which I assume the podcast is).

And it should probably stay that way? Not sure.

But I’m of the opinion that stuff like Instagram/Fb/X will always be around, but I’ll stick with things like Lemmy for personal stuff.

Yeah for real I feel like if I log back into LinkedIn and update my profile I start suddenly getting more spam lol

As far as networking you’ve got the right idea, there’s no reason to rely solely on designated networking sites for it.

Start with literally anyone you know (close friends and family) and go from there :)

Oh ok. I have f-droid but I got Summit on the Google play store. Still new to the FOSS world personally. But it’s fun so far!

Which one is that again?

I’ve used Boost and Summit Lemmy clients and they both allow this. Dig around in the settings for it. Super nice to have!

So cool!

Nice

This has been my experience. I use any random adapter I find in Walmart or Amazon for cheap and they last forever, and my phone charger is setup like you say so it’s fine in Germany, Ireland, UK, etc.

Technically you can use anything for job networking, it’s not necessary for it to be"designed" for networking.

A Lemmy instance about your industry/niche could be a good place to meet people in your industry, and even hire ppl or search for ppl hiring.

Thanks for showing me this I didn’t know fossify existed

I figured it out thanks! For some reason I had to restart my phone and it finally worked.

At first it wouldn’t update to fossify when I tried, so everytime it would only give me the everytime/just this once toggle for Google photos.

Actually perfect no fancy add ons just pics!

I’m having an issue when viewing videos with it though - for some reason it won’t let me set fossify gallery as the default video viewer so everytime I have to click it after clicking on a video. Do you know how to set the default video app to fossify?

Do you use a gallery app you like? I’m kind of sick of Google photos. I always have to “save a copy” when editing and it also separates my photos in a dumb way.

I’d like something simple that isn’t trying to sell me something (storage)

Great point! It also depends on how much time you have for it. I built a 3D printer when I was younger because I had hours most days to work on it.

Now I would probably only have a few hours a week to tinker, so if I spent most of that time just working on the printer and couldn’t get stuff actually printed and printed well, that would feel like wasted time personally!

Would be kinda cool to buy a functioning printer and print parts for a diy printer. Then it’ll have children haha!

So this is where the fediverse chick came from huh haha
