Better than liver/kidney failure though. Down 65lbs switching to diet. Endocrine numbers look great now

Yeah I don't use DHCP for shit, I want to know exactly where my stuff is at all times.

(We don't use wireless at all in our corporate Network only on a guest Network)

So looks like it's not possible at the moment? I can't seem to find a kbin/lemmy/mastadon combined client for PC or Android?

Argh, this is why I can't ever get into Linux/BSD, etc. Just so many variants, and they go through cycles on which is popular.

Makes sense, but I'm confused:

Quoting Wikipedia:

Relations with other online social networks Lemmy instances are federated with each other, allowing a user on a given instance to participate in a "community" on another Lemmy instance without having to create an account on the other instance;[4] and with other instances in the Fediverse that use different software. ActivityPub is the protocol used to allow Lemmy instances to operate as a federated social network. It allows users to interact with compatible platforms including Mastodon and PeerTube.[14]

I mean when I search for user, his page shows up, just don't see how to subscribe...

 

Suppose I want to subscribe to: https://masto.ai/@rbreich

How do I do that from the web browser version of lemmy.world? I try going to that site and can't subscribe unless I'm a member of masto.ai. If I search for user on lemmy I find him, but there's no obvious subscribe mechanism.

Thanks!

As a non Twitter user... reading 300/600 tweets a day seems like more than plenty. I mean the times I've poke around I see what maybe 60 or so tweets then move on to browsing another platform.

And me not knowing any better this somewhat seems to make sense if you have bots that are scraping all the data for intelligence to use for advertising or AI development etc.

Shouldn't those bots have to pay since they are making money off data and let the individual users keep a free account?

I was an 11 year Reddit member, deleted my account yesterday.

Been here for a few hours and my nerves have already calmed, this feels like home!

I too was an 11 year Redditor and deleted my account. Let's see how this goes!
