@evan Oh, like sack of my balls!

#NeverGetsOld

I missed this very important announcement.

@evan Me! I said that!

Human rights are unconditional.

Cursed with the knowledge that I COULD just get up and go make a batch of cookies and eat half of the dough and it would sort of make me feel good for a moment but then really not so I probably shouldn't.
Probably.

@BeAware @Maj@pixelfed.social But I would have to ask all the people I harassed into following my Mastodon-bridged-to-BS to follow the the pixelfed-bridged-to-BS instead/in addition?

@Maj@pixelfed.social So posted cat on my pixelfed, which I then boost/reshare from my Mastodon, so it will go out to my followers on BS and Threads... A bit weird/convoluted but it works?

How are people using lists? Share a screenshot if you'd like!

@BeAware @drq

Pasting https://lemmy.world/post/24584410 into search just gives me the *mastodon* post with the url in it.

@BeAware @drq

I appreciate both your help and not trying to hold y'all responsible for the ux here! I know there's a lot of work happening on how things do/should work between fediveres platforms and we're in early days with a lot of onboarding happening for new folks.

@BeAware @drq

It's just a hard sell for people who are used to "Open reddit, read, comment" to have to have multiple tabs open, browse / find things on different instances, then switch back to Mastodon cut-and-paste urls into search, then create a post, then go grab the community name to @ it.
I'll come back to this when I have more bandwidth to play around.
Thanks again!

@BeAware @drq Yeah and can we just acknowledge that the experience for interacting with lemmy from mastodon is not ideal? I mean, it isn't right?

@drq I set up an account ages ago but didn't see much. Will go back and take another look.

@drq hmmm I need to RTFM then because it says "you must log in or register to comment" when I follow that link.

@drq yeah I mean I'm here now right? But there's a missing step for Lemmy to know I'm me, here?

Login wants an email address. I don't see "login from the fediverse" anywhere...

@drq uh, I don't understand what that means in actionable steps.

Maybe I'll try to figure it out some other time. Thanks!

@drq how do you know what Lemmy groups there are?
How do you follow and/or contribute to existing conversations?

@drq No and kinda don't want to learn?

This shouldn't feel like installing a linux driver in 1999. Think I will shelve the idea for now!

Thanks again though.

@evan @StarTrekScreens This is my fav to whip out when anyone complains that ST has suddenly become 'political'... not because I think it will change someone's mind if their media literacy is that poor to begin with but just because it's so iconic.

I for one am just happy to hear that Tik -Tok rations have increased!
