I have the same problem even after unchecking read posts. Of course, it’s a bug either way. In the meantime I just always click the save post button so my posts show up there instead.

Well, I just made hobbit.world and intend to only have Tolkien related communities there. So block away if that’s not your thing. However, the only way to block an instance is to defederate and that’s kind of harsh. Hopefully the feature of blocking communities by instance is added.

This sort of stuff is crucial and needs to be built in.

Most instances are one user’s whim away from going away. This isn’t a problem as long as clients back things up and migration is easy. But, that doesn’t happen right now.

Guarantee we’ll see some big news at points in the future when a big instance goes down because the owner died or just lost interest.

Again, these are easily overcome, but they are issues right now.

Actually, clicking those links actually works! Hooray!

I was under the impression that you were supposed to be able to search for “!hobbit_art@hobbit.world” in the community search bar and find things there. Now that I know it works, I’ve found that simply modifying the community url also works. So going to: https://lemmy.world/c/hobbit_art@hobbit.world actually jumps me right to it.

So, looks like it was already working. Thanks!

Awesome! I was hoping this would be possible. I plan to host my own instance hobbit.world and would need to migrate everything.

Also, I’ll defederate any corporate instances. No need to encourage bad actors.

Cable cost well over $100 a month many years ago when I cancelled it. And 1/3 of the content is commercials.

Pretty sure you could subscribe to every major streaming service for less than that. And as long as you avoid Hulu, you won’t see commercials.

Things are WAY better now, even though it was better a little while ago when there was just Netflix.

Can you repair Curtas? I think there’s a niche market demand for that. I’d certainly want it if mine ever broke.

I don’t actually think I’ve heard a story of someone getting a domain back once it is lost. Glad this worked out.

I am surprised a story like this has a happy ending.

Walkabout Golf in VR. Simple enough for family members, but challenging even for gamers.

The same science has happened in two places at once before. Lots of people rush to publish to avoid getting scooped.

Religion is just fiction, so this has not happened there. Heck, Joseph Smith couldn’t even invent his religion twice without messing things up.

Maybe not precisely the same as the quote, but it’s pretty similar. If there was a true religion, you’d expect it to have happened many times identically all over the world.

Is there a stallmanwasright community here yet? This would fit in there.

Whoa there! This is a thread for naming bad games. Satisfactory is an amazing crafting game. I didn’t get bored until level 8 when the amount of material required to finish just got insane. But it is the end of the game, so I understand why it’s like that.

Oh yes. I LOVE the Stormlight books.

The Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books. By book 7 I hated the main characters and really hated the writing style. The repetition. The repetition. The repetition…

The Sanderson books were ok, but they couldn’t rescue the series and I got no joy from finishing it. A lot of relief though to be done with it.

MineTest is better anyway. If you miss it, play that instead.

BTW, of they ask why I’m in such a hurry, I’ll say I have a Brewster’s Millions situation and hope they’d seen the movie. We could relax after the deal was done.

Too many answers trying to game the system. Have fun with it!

If this was earlier in the day, I would drive to a pinball arcade that is maybe 40 minutes away, and offer them the entire million for every pinball machine they had. Hopefully the owner could be contacted and close the deal within the remaining 20 minutes.

I wish there would be time to buy a boat. I know nothing about sailing or maintaining a boat, but I would love to just drive to a marina and just get a 50 foot sailing boat.

Do different paints dry brush differently? I guess that’s kind of the same question. I’ll just have to experiment.

Biggest problem for me is finding other people enjoying my new hobby, at the same stage of learning, during the time period that I am into it.

I’ve been learning acrylic painting the last few weeks. I’d love to find a forum to discuss this while I’m still into it.
