while it’s cool that mastodon, kbin and lemmy can all talk to one another, the format of mastodon just doesn’t play nice with kbin and lemmy. if it works for you, that’s cool, but i’d recommend separate accounts for microblogging and thread-style social media

huh, you’re right. i’d assumed it was related to the verb ‘leer’ meaning ‘leery’ would mean intimidating or perverted.

i remember watching a documentary on… something, idk and a woman described herself as ‘leery’ around a suspicious character. i’m near certain it was a true crime doc and don’t want to make fun because of that but the transformation of wary > weary > leery really is something

i’m completely neutral. in a retail environment i’m really not sure whether i’d even notice, especially if it’s already a hot day. you might get a lot of stupid questions from people who don’t like anything outside of their norm though

I quite like Dank Pods’ Cash Converter videos to feel like I’m browsing around with him and laughing at the bizarre things he finds.

i’m an absolute cola addict and unfortunately nothing else scratches the same itch for me. i am a fan of iced tea though

pretty much exactly what it sounds like. people would browse wikipedia and post the creepiest pages they found. like, for example, the aztec death whistle.

fair enough, for mastodon i just use the stock mastodon app from the play store. for what i use it for, casual browsing and boosting posts, it works perfectly well.

tbh i think most public pools could do with upping the amount of bathrooms available (i use the women’s toilets) but that’s still no excuse

i think you have to expect some pee in the pool if there are kids around, but hopefully adults know better.

any variation of ‘i’m at the soup store’ always kills me

i joined reddit in 2015 when the site was already heaving with content and users. good for killing time and consuming, but not for engaging in the community. right now lemmy/kbin is in the sweet spot where there’s enough people to talk to but not so many that i can’t be heard.

this is why you need to shower before and after entering a pool. i’d advise the same for natural bodies of water.

personally i’m missing all the horror content. there’s a nosleep replacement here that’s gaining traction but stuff like /r/wtf, /r/oddlyterrifying, /r/creepywikipedia etc are sorely missed right now

based on a recommendation from here, I use connect for lemmy. I find it much more stable than jerboa

I had an 8 year old account on reddit (deleted today) and had accumulated a decent amount of karma. that being said I didn’t even notice there wasn’t any karma here. the voting system is nice to see which comments are popular but there’s no need for it sitewide.

i’d love that personally, i would like to be able to move my entire internet presence to more federated options and youtube is the biggest obstacle for me. i’ve been using it very regularly since 2007 so it would be difficult but i’d be willing to give it a go

i was confused for a little while too, created a few accounts and was floundering. the setup will be different for everyone but currently i have a tab open with mastodon and i’m following a few seperate instances there. then i have lemmy.world also open and i have stuff from different lemmy instances and kbin coming in to my feed.

i agree, feels very cosy here. just enough people to have a good conversation but not too many to feel swamped.
