So far so good. Coffee has been obtained and I'm colouring in the kiwis on the Lemmy canvas while I rip a bunch of CDs.
Ripping CDs.. that brings up some deeply buried memories. Can't even remember the last time I did that.
Yeah, I haven't touched mine in years but with all the streaming services ramping prices up and removing stuff I want at the same time I have a sudden appreciation for stuff that I independently own.
Morning! Today I've been doing some c/canvas work: https://lemmy.nz/post/745366
@[email protected] has also pointed out there is a fix incoming for the issue with "Show context" on the website. I'm very excited.
Got a DJ pal in the UK who live streams on Mixcloud and who’s on right now, so currently listening loud to cool techno, electronic vibes with our breakfast!!
Morena all. Had an awful nights sleep. Been taking corticosteroids for a serious infection, and while calming the infection, they cause me weird, intense, and last night horrific, dreams side effects.
Have now finished the meds, so hopefully tonight will be calmer.
How’s everyone doing with NZ on Lemmy?
The one major thing I’ve seen is the people using it are MUCH nicer than in "the other place", someone asks a question here, there’s many replies.
For me the environment is a little complex, too many options, but that in itself maybe what is keeping it nice, users need some idea about what they are doing and how they use it.
Have tried all the IOS apps, each has a specific advantage, but not all in one app.
I guess this is very early days for the bulk of Lemmy instances/apps etc. and it’ll take time to evolve.
I prefer it over reddit for the same reason - everyone is much nicer. The fact that it's so much smaller means that I'm not just staring at an endless feed, expecting to be entertained without participating.
It's also giving me good reason to get back into other hobbies and stop wasting so much time online, which can only be a good thing.
I guess it’s often about ease of use. so If it needs thought, then a lot will walk away and not bother. That in itself does imply capability, which I suspect in this day of everything needing to be equal, might cause some issues for some.
I’d suspect that most here, have some good technical ability, so it might be a hassle to get organised, but we’ll sort it.
The relaxed and friendly atmosphere here is wonderful, long may it continue.
I encourage you (or anyone reading) to ask questions if you're having trouble with something. I would be surprised if there's someone not having trouble! But by helping each other we can all learn together.
In the daily post is an ok place to ask, otherwise we also have !support[email protected].
No sleep at all (not for fun reasons), and I have to work today. Ugh.
Meanwhile, in 'Murica
