Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don't question.

Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it's a similar adventure gamebook system)

Yeah, I had a massive box of them, my sister started getting it (I think somebody bought one for her when she was ill) and later on I was getting it myself along with most of the monthlies. I only appear to have two annuals, I don't think I got rid of any, but I know my big box of comics and monthlies went to a distant relative - they had been sealed up since moving in 1992, I had progressed by then to Your Sinclair 😊.

Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for https://lemmings.world/c/lemmings)

Yes, this doesn't make sense. How I thought it worked is that the originating server would push the new article to the home instance, and the other instances then pull from there (or the home server pushes; whatever, same net effect). If that isn't how it works, I don't see how it can work, as every server which posts to a magazine would need to know who subscribes to it. Certainly in the case of Mastodon, it doesn't have a concept of this, yet can post to communities/magazines and the comments federate out (maybe comments work differently though? There doesn't appear to be a problem with comments as far as I can tell)

When I was in local government, they had a load of old sevrers - all sorts of things, most of which I couldn't identify. There was a mainframe system which was heavily used via Wyse terminals - I'm not sure if it was actually running on a mainframe still at that point, but they definitely had some as I had to change all the backup tapes in lots of server rooms in the building. All sorts of things with what looked like reel to reel tapes in them. Shame even camera phones weren't a thing (this was in early 2000s) or I'd have taken lots of photos. There were some Sun boxes as well.

Small-scale DAB: expressions of interest 2023 (www.ofcom.org.uk)

This document contains a summary of the responses Ofcom received to an invitation for ‘expressions of interest’ in small-scale DAB, which we ran during the spring of 2023. We carried out this exercise to provide us with up-to-date information on the level of demand from potential multiplex providers and/or programme service...

I think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)

Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don't work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

...which I see now are local links with /c/ so not the issue we're discussing here!
