@anathema_device@kbin.social

Australian living near Brisbane. Cis-het married cat lady, retired web developer, vigorously pro-choice atheist and feminist. My train station is Lawnton, I shop at Warner, and I have a potato for a federal MP.

Diagnosed at 60 as . Strong opinions, many interests, boring AF. I don't get out much

My pronouns are she/her. My cats are Shula (black) and Jana (tortie).

@Suedeltica I pretty much only follow family and a few friends, and some organisations I want news from. Not a huge number. But Facebook can't even deliver me all those posts in time order, and I'm missing out lots of personal news I wanted to hear, like friends being engaged! If a 'social network' can't even do that basic function, it's useless. I keep getting prompted to follow more people, when I can't even get the updates from the people I already follow.

@gus You would have to tread very caerphilly though :)

@buffaloseven do you mind if I pick your brain? Why does kbin have microblogs AND threads, and why do some magazine have only microblogs? Is that an admin choice?

What's your favourite thing about living in the Brisbane region?

Mine is easy access to the ocean, after growing up in Toowoomba and it being a nearly 3 hour trek to the seaside back then.

@ada yes :)

BTW, should this post have been in a thread? I'm new to kbin and this distinction between threads and microblogs is confusing the hell out of me.

@Inamin And, as I just discovered, you can follow the group on Mastodon, but nothing shows up in the feed

@ada Is this something you can manipulate at the admin end?

@ryand3rk wow! I finally managed to read a kbin post on Mastodon, and then I boosted it through my Mastodon account (reversing the steps you took to post it here, presumably :) )

I'm constantly looking through the "what's on this weekend in Brisbane" type websites. Which ones do you use?

@Squidcopter with the caveat that I really don't go out anymore because of COVID and the lack of mitigation and masking, I've bookmarked:

https://visit.brisbane.qld.au/things-to-do
https://theweekendedition.com.au/event-news/whats-on-in-brisbane-this-weekend/

Since I live in Moreton region, I follow the council on Fakebook, and that's a fairly good way to find council-sponsored events.

Otherwise I would advise looking for local groups on Fakebook, or ones that cover your interests. I'm on a Brisbane specific mastodon server, and that occasionally chucks things out that I invariably never go to :)
