Happy New Year 50! Sorry for the late reply here, I've been meaning to for days.
[](/lyra) I'm doing okey. Actually, pretty well to he honest! With the big scary visa stuff out of the way, I have less practical anxieties. I don't think I did anything particularly special over the Christmas/New Years dead workweek. But I have been getting into latte art because Ootachi got me a milk foamer. I have made... a circle. This has been hard.
I don't really do new year's resolutions, but I am still trying to get more fit and keep my weight lower. I'm doing okey on the latter but not enough on the former. Maybe it should be to cycle more. Or draw every othet day, or something like that.
[](/lyrabonhug) I hope you had a good time over new years too! Do you have any resolutions?
I'm really tired a lot probably because I'm mildly sick rn and because of overcoming jetlag and because of the cold (anything below 20C is far too cold tyvm) so exciting energetic things are not on my mind. Uhh... I've been trying to read more of A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers! It's a book about space optimism and aliens and gender and linguistics and culture. Well, specifically it's vignettes on a long haul space trip for a mixed species wormhole construction ship. It's good!
So this is a somewhat long story, because I have a history of trying to find Reddit alternatives. As it turns out, I really, really like forums? Lemmy and Kbin haven't been the first attempts at this. Nor was Reddit the first. But I found Kbin in particular because I felt Lemmy had too much Tankie for me. After some digging, I have found I do not like the devs at all. So alternatives of alternatives we go!
How are you liking kbin?
Uh. Not super hopeful? At least while it's a "very early beta".
How’d you find Plounge in general?
Mane subreddit had it in its sidebar. I was in a big pony binge, and I wanted all the pony communities. Back then, PLounge was crazy active. It was probably very similar to /r/196 back in the day, except with text posts and not images. Not 30 minutes would go by without a new post. You could keep refreshing the page and there would always be someone new talking about something.
[](/2f) Well, yes. I'm not sure what you expected to happen. Otherwise we get into the whole "HookerJack tried to impersonate us and raid Manechat" situation we had years back. As long as you make it abundantly clear you're not affiliated with us, then it's fine.
Oh this is wild. So I noticed I got added as a mod from lemmy.world, but kbin.social doesn't recognise me as a mod. wtf. This seems like a security flaw.
(Late) New Year's Chat Thread Time !!!

Do you have any secrets?...
OC Planet of Lana is really good
[](/lyrafoundyourstash) This game. I finished it last night on the PLounge game chat and it was really sweet. It's kinda like Limbo but solarpunk....
Was trying to tell people this was here, but the Crystal Empire was having none of it... (lemmy.world)
Home is where the PLounge is
