The birds here are really confused lately and have just been singing all night without a break, it’s driving me crazy.
It’s been common for a lot longer than that in the UK, we’re very lazy :D
Yeah I’m trying to remember how we used to do it (the last time I went through a normal checkout with a full shop was probably 10 years ago) and this seems right.
Gotta have the heavy stuff handy so you can put it straight into the bottom of the bags. Anything else is wasting time!
Allow me to translate. It means our admin is a boss.
Alas, not really! I have a cheap shuttle and am still trying to get the hang of “the flip” but I’ll get it eventually. I did manage a sort of wonky snowflake but that’s about it so far. Trouble is, as you know, all the other hobbies getting in the way 😄
Currently working on cross stitching a dragon from the Discworld books, knitting some crazy speckly socks and a shawl that is way behind where it needs to be to be finished on time, and planning various sewing projects. RIP my free time.
Just left another comment with links to some of the more active craft communities on here, we’d love to see what you’re working on if you ever want to share!
We do a lot of hanging out and gossiping on fedi tbf. Mastodon is really big on crafts, and on Lemmy we have places like !knitting@lemmy.world, !crochet@lemmy.ca, !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works, !sewing@lemmy.world etc for specific crafts.
For the crafts a bit too niche to have their own active community, !imadethis@lemm.ee loves to see completed projects!
Gonna tag @DharmaCurious@startrek.website and @OftenWrong@startrek.website too because I feel like a lot of folks don’t realise how much craft stuff we have on here!
I’ve taught a few people to crochet and all it really takes is patience, and and accepting that you’re going to feel like you’ve somehow got both too many and also not enough hands for the first little while. There’s no shortage of tutorials online so it’s just a question of finding a beginner one that clicks with you and going from there.
And if you get stuck, need to ask newbie questions, or just want to show off the first few wonky rows of stitches you make to people who will understand what an achievement it is, !crochet@lemmy.ca is the community for you!
I immediately thought of tatting just because it’s kind of interesting that you can do it two such different ways with such different tools, and also because using a shuttle looks like actual witchcraft.
That’s my main concern. Seeing content from other platforms in my Mastodon feed is pretty great right now (Lemmy, PeerTube etc). But hashtag feeds could quickly get overrun by something like this if it works the same way.
That said, making this its own thing instead of building a “reels” for Pixelfed suggests the dev already knows separation will be important, so 🤞
This is definitely a cool but very niche feature that I and nerds like me would use, but the vast majority of normal* folk never would. So for that reason it’s probably not going to be any kind of priority to add. But hey, in the meantime, we’ve always got footnotes!
* “normal” by Lemming standards, anyway
Hey, bit late to this discussion (found it while searching for something) but since you seemed interested in a casual user’s pov:
I’m a member of quite a few Lemmy communities that are really small, and I’m very active on Mastodon. So having those small communities in a list feed on Mastodon is really handy since I don’t miss anything and can just jump in with a reply on stuff without switching over to Lemmy.
I also post a lot of the same type of stuff to both platforms and sometimes it makes sense to keep that separate, but sometimes with niche interests it’s nice to be able to cross-post and get both groups of people chatting together in the comments.
Of course this is a moot point because federation between my Masto instance and Lemmy is currently broken, but it was really great before and I miss it a ton.
Hey, just saw someone else discussing this issue in Eternity (but another Lemmy server) and apparently the fix is to remove and re-add your account in the app.
Figured I’d report back in, in case you’re still having trouble but also in case anyone stumbles across this thread in future 👍
If I were you I’d try logging into the mobile site so you can see whether it’s an issue with your actual account / the server or just when viewed through that specific app.
Oh, yesssss.
Last I heard, Sunaurus had decided against hosting them due to maintenance and security concerns. Basically it would make his life more complicated, which is fair enough.
Looks great, thanks for this!
Yeah it seems like the federation issues with 0.19 were NOT actually fixed with 0.19.1. It’s not just us. There’s a thread up about it on !fediverse@lemmy.world and the Github issue was reopened a couple days ago, but obviously at this time of year we’ll have to be a bit patient.
I was going to suggest you might have bot posts turned off, as that seems to confuse the UI. But the other reply is not from a bot, and it’s not a federation thing either since you and I are on the same instance and I see it just fine. Interesting!
So excited for this to roll out, I’m sure it’ll need further tweaks as we go but it’s encouraging to hear positive reports from the start!
Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.
