@ernest this was an extraordinary situation with several crisis points on a platform in early development (as far as mass usage is concerned) and you were able to keep a cool head, keep things going and also keep people informed of the situations as they were developing. I am happy to read that you have help now (and it looks like really great expert help) and that you can take a break/retirement from admin and enjoy it with the rest of us. Bravo!
Don't dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas....
First exposure would probably be identica in 2010. For people getting started, these days I'd suggest less joining a specific platform and more by interest. Books -> bookwyrm , Video -> a Peertube instance, etc.
The more I'm using #kbin the more I like it. There is a lot going on here (much more than pictured, but this should give a basic idea of using it for reading and subscribing to things). There is a learning curve (like the rest of the Fediverse) but it becomes easier once you get the hang of it. Descriptions of the screenshots are in the image captions. I have a separate account there as a "soft" partition and (edit- changed) an important thing to know is that upvotes translate into feed boosts.
@chillicampari if there is anything I want to bring back into my "main" social feed- I have mutual follows between the accounts, so I can just (re)boost selected items. This reply is composed from the kbin interface.
That was pretty good! And I like how at times they looked liked they were about to start laughing as Prince was stealing the show on a stage with already some very very famous musicians (but not that he could help it, I think that's just what usually happened whenever Prince appeared, well- anywhere).
I think it will be time for a repotting to a larger container sometime soon they are getting very crowded, but I'm hesitant as they won't have their first dormancy until the soonest this coming winter.
Thank you :) Eventually yes, but not this time. And that's if they survive. But I think I can still keep them together in a shared (but larger) pot for the next year or so, just for some more space between them.
Sometimes I just can't tell and other times I think "well, which way does it want to be?" Also, I'm not actually sure which kind of animal this is supposed to be a picture of, maybe some sort of pig or boar?
A group of botanists from Ecuador, Germany, and the United States have identified two new distinct species of carnivorous plants notable for their striking appearance. These species are a part of the butterworts family (known scientifically as the genus Pinguicula), a group of insectivorous flowerin
Among the roughly 370,000 known species of flora sprouting on Earth's surface, a taste for blood is rare. But only one plant is known to be carnivorous on a part-time basis.

Hello from Lemmy! How’s life there over on the other side on Kbin?
Attempt #2
what was your first exposure to the fediverse?
Mine was either mastodon or matrix. I got into both at the same time. What are some other fediverse sites for beginners?
