Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn’t have thought of it straight away at all.

Yeah Relay works still and is going in a subscription model

Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason

Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

Building history one update at a time 😎

It will still sell by the millions :(

I think I have 20k

Brilliant insight. They probably are tracking metrics on what will encourage people to buy stuff the most too

What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn’t it like this stock?

This is what I did with Hades and MCC

Unfortunately I do not :( it was on a discussion from an article about Reddit standing firm on API changes iirc

Potentially worded a bit abrasively but…kinda yeah. They rely so heavily on fomo, gacha, and other skinner box tricks to keep you playing other than FUN. Just remember what happened to Titanfall 2: "ohhh it was SO FUN it just didn’t have the events and grinding and stuff I wanted >:( "

I think for now it’s so early it doesn’t matter all that much. Just have fun! You can make multiple accounts so why not

Ah, a shame but reasonable. Worth a test :D

I have a small contribution: another kind user I have since forgotten (rip) recommended Jerboa for Lemmy as an Android app to use. It’s much nicer than the web browser experience IMO. I heard there’s also a good option on iOS, so feel free to chime in if you know what that is. I heard on HackerNews that some people plan to make their own Lemmy instances effectively private so they can simply use it as a personal feed and go anywhere they please. Sounds like a great idea, honestly. Imagine an IowaMan instance, for example, and I would simply control it however I want. Not sure what the reqs would be tho.

Thanks for that site suggestion! It’s about the right level I need.

I want to see them try!

Good luck doing that for 8000 subs

I’ve done a few really great ones. I got the UBolt Pro for a fancy lock I can track who accesses, auto lock, unlock remotely if needed, etc. It’s very handy for visitors because I assign their access code as the last 4 digits of their phone number so they never forget. I got Zigbee smart bulbs everywhere, but if I were to do it again, I would do smart switches in any places I didn’t need dimming or individual bulb control. Here’s another great idea: FANS. Ceiling fans, desk fans, whatever. You can connect good Vornado desk fans to a smart switch so you can get cooling on demand without getting out of bed. Lastly, an Aquasana under sink water filter. Only filter I know of that removes PFAS and PFOAs and is third party certified to do so. Good delicious safe water.

I really appreciate what you’re doing, but I’m worried how this instance will continue scaling. What happens when it gets to 1 million users? 10 million? We can scale vertically only somewhat, but horizontal scaling seems to be limited to “just join a new instance 4head” and that just…doesn’t have a good experience.
