  • Sony Xperia 1 III. Aside from server issues in the first few days this month with Lemmy the Jerboa app has been working well. Seems fairly close enough ish to RiF for me. Really probably has a lot more going on than RiF ever did. Some mild stuff to get used to but overall a good experience. Was happy to see the ability to change the post sizes to smaller so I can see more at a given time.











  • Agreed. Not sure if there is a fair and easy way for the whole “instance” user distribution but the current set up isn’t straight forward. Not to say it was difficult but my experience with it was an immediate thought of this barrier of entry is too steep. It’s unlike what most anyone has likely ever encountered. (at least knowingly.)

    Like mapping a network drive. Is it an actually difficult task? No. Can any significant portion of the general population identify what I just stated? Probably no. Sure a small percent may go on to Google that and figure it out. But in general I find it bad practice to ask that of them.

    Would it be reasonable if some algorithm handled that aspect and just default assigned people based on location, maybe a couple quick questions of their interests, and the hosts willing capacity increase rate? Plus some other factors I didn’t think of. In some text could also say you can choose from a list of instances if you so choose or just leave it as is.


  • As a kid my state didn’t permit or sell projectile type fireworks to the public. Just fountain, snakes, sparklers, etc. But that didn’t stop us, or anyone, from just driving into the next state over to get the good stuff then come on back to where they were illegal to fire them off.

    Some places, despite any potential law, don’t care one way or another. Where I grew up no one cared so long as you didn’t cause a fire. That was rural though. In general those areas operate differently.

    Where I live now is a suburb. I could get away with doing some fireworks on a non-holiday but doing too much of a display or too frequently and I would likely run into issues. Though doesn’t stop some people.
