[Solved] Despite searching multiple times for my magazine on lemmy instances, I can't seem to find it. Am I missing something?

I created a magazine @VegetableGardening for my hobby and I'm trying to get the word out there. Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to "federate" it to Lemmy. I've tried searching with "all" enabled on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, but all it does is show me my own comment mentionning the magazine on another federated magazine....

From vlemmy.net, I first searched for !vegetablegardening and found nothing.

Then I searched for https://kbin.social/m/vegetablegardening and found it.

It's better than "no censorship". It's "whatever censorship you and your instance agree on".

Don't like the rules at beehaw? Cool, leave beehaw! Too many boobs in your "all" feed? Cool, block the domain or join an instance that doesn't federate with them. It's just SO much better this way for everybody.

Please help with the basics of subscribing to remote communities. (Many ways to do it wrong, included)

Alright I really thought I had cracked this nut, but some of these are still eluding me. I went on a run of subscribing to a bunch of remote communities and felt like I had really mastered the fediverse in theory and in execution... then I was humbled....

omg I JUST stumbled on this answer looking through the modHelp magazine, and came back to record my findings here. Thanks!

A missed opportunity to create dungeon.social, a shared place for ttrpg players and bdsm enthusiasts.

The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down....

Specifically, when I google stuff about how kbin works, I see the only answers are on Reddit and then I'm in a real pickle.

Missing Titan submersible is operated by a cheap game controller (videogames.si.com)

the Logitech F710 is a solid controller to get if you’re on a tight budget, but perhaps not exactly the type of equipment you want to stake your life on. [...] Reviewers on sites like Amazon frequently mention issues with the wireless device's connection....

As part of my onboarding, I watched a YouTube video explaining the FEDIVERSE at some conference that took place a few years ago. He succinctly described the benefits of having instance-level moderation/TOS by calling it,

"The freedom of speech, and the freedom to filter

I really like that the platform itself doesn't impose that, but every community gets to choose what's best for them.

I think I would like the FEDIVERSE even when its the "old thing" just because as far as I can tell, the product itself seems like a terrible place for investments and profits. Then again, I could be WAY off here.

Also, at the moment, there's an almost complete lack of marketing/advertising, which is REALLY nice.

Normally, I'd take any opportunity to evangelize about Ghosts or Horizon, but you already have that covered.

The Jurassic World sim game is one of the free ps+games this month. It's easy to put down in a heartbeat. Though I thought I'd be able to squeeze in a little extra time by letting my 2 year old stare at dinosaurs after his nap. No dice, he only wants Elsa.

Quite busy. We were booked up every night all weekend with parties, class reunions, and father's day shenanigans. Also we're taking care of a lot of business that needs to be taken care of before our 2nd baby arrives (probably Wednesday). It's been a weekend!

At work, I have a reputation for being the guy who never shuts up about trying to get new people into scuba diving. If there are 2 or more divers at the lunch table I honestly feel a little bad for everybody else. The cost of getting trained and renting or buying all your gear can scare people away, but I would at least strongly recommend that anybody on an island vacation or cruise at least try a "discover Scuba" class. You'll learn everything you need to know to not die by watching a quick video, and working in a pool, then you get to go have an amazing dive in the ocean with an instructor.

Thanks for reminding me to turn the PlayStation on so this is ready to go at naptime.

Is it unreasonable to hope that a new season would include new recordings of "ROCK" and/or "STONE"?

I used to work for a small, family owned business. At lunch the wife of the owner was reading an article in paper and said, "90% of this school district is close enough to the poverty line that they receive free/reduced breakfast and lunch, because there's a good chance those are their only reliable meals for the week." Then she looks up from the paper and says "Can you believe that? They're giving away breakfast now, too!"

They certainly didn't lack compassion. Like, if you were one of theirs, they'd give you the shirt off their back and infinite second chances. 2 of the kindest, most caring people you'd ever meet.... But yeah, they were also very capable of dehumanizing people and not giving a damn.

jrubal1462,

I think it really helps if you think of some people as people and other people as "people".

jrubal1462,

Oh yeah I guess I should clarify that I meant to say that they're capable of displaying compassion (I've seen it). But this, obviously, was not compassion.

For /r/scuba, there was already a scuba@mander.xyz

I tried and failed to post there. I assumed it was suffering the same growing pains as everywhere else, but after a few days of waiting I just created kbin.social/m/scuba
