  • I do sometimes go back, but most of the places I used to visit are empty other than bots sharing crap. It used to be such a great place, had really supportive groups but also many many weird ones.

  • I agree. IRC was definitely great. Staying connected was definitely a problem, but the conversations made up for that. I had so many good friendships there, and I loved the ease of creating a new channel and gather there with friends. The ops system was definitely really good. You could do everything with the channel.

    I do frequent old servers I used to hang out on sometimes, if they still exist, that is, but like usenet, most channels are for downloading or nsfw stuff. Really sad, it was such a cool place to be!

  • I really miss IRC and usenet. And I know both still exist but I miss the communities there 😊

  • iPhone SE 4: Here's What the Latest Rumors Say

    Jump

  • I’ve had my SE3 for a year and the battery is already deteriorating fast, hope they’ve figured it out for the 4.

    I’m actually surprised there will be a 4. I had the idea that apple wanted to stick with large everything.

    I have small hands and large phones give me pain issues. Hope they will keep making SE’s now 😊

  • What do you do to stop procrastinating?

    Jump

  • There are a couple of types of procrastination for me.

    There is the productive kind, where I’m idling away while pondering a blog post or a plot point in my writing.

    And the unproductive kind. The kind where I just don’t wanna.

    What I do is force myself to move. Set a timer for a couple minutes and do a simple task.

    This usually helps me get into the flow.

  • What is something you wish you knew when you were younger?

  • It’s never as bad as you fear.

    Here’s a playlist of 7 hours of music with NO VOCALS I use to focus when I’m studying /coding. Post yours as well if you also have one!

    Jump

  • That’s great, thank you. I always just put on Lofi girl on YouTube or, if I want to work not connected to the internet, I put on a playlist for some of the albums I downloaded on my iPod nano.

  • What made you pick the Lemmy server you are on?

    Jump

  • It came highly recommended because it’s a fast server under food management. I have no idea where it’s hosted 😊

  • What are your list of essential iOS apps?

    Jump

  • Ps as for obsidian:

    it is said to be comparable, but Obsidian was too confusing and limited for me. Logseq is intuitive for me and that’s what I need for my addled brain 😊

  • What are your list of essential iOS apps?

    Jump

  • It’s cross platform, for desktop and mobile. I run it on my Linux box, my Mac and my iPhone.

    To synchronise you have to pay 5 dollars a month, but it’s worth it, as it’s the first time I found something that just fit with how my brain works.

    You can run it stand alone for free on either platform to try it out, that’s how I started. if you would like to know more, don’t hesitate to ask

  • I chose lemm.ee because it came highly recommended and rightfully so. Great management and great communities too

  • What's your favorite RSS Reader?

    Jump

  • I use the old reader most of the time.

  • Are we gonna make a big difference after this migration?

    Jump

  • I think that people will still stick with Reddit just like there are a lot of people still using Twitter: it feels like their home online.

    Here’s a funny thing though, I’ve seen so many posts on Lemmy by people saying they were lurkers on Reddit but they do (intend to) post here.

    That can’t be a coincidence 😊I am one of those former lurkers/occasional posters and I’m kinda active here.

    (As an aside: I do wonder if the lack of overload due to constant ads can be attributed to that)

    I really don’t miss Reddit much now, because the communities on Lemmy are wonderful, and they can only grow more.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x03 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

    Jump

  • That was such a great episode. I watched it last night and woke up thinking about it. Really great. I love the addition of Pella in the crew, and that La-An went to her for help later in the episode.

    Do have to admit that I was a tad disappointed that Pella didn't come to her at the end remarking something about the clothes looking familiar.

    And this James T. Kirk is growing on me! I first wasn't convinced, but he really was so good in this episode. The call at the end was so bittersweet.

  • Lemmy apps on iOS

    Jump

  • I usually like dedicated apps, but wefwef changed my mind. It’s by far the best PWA I’ve seen so far.

  • Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?

    Jump

  • I certainly do! Reddit was just too loud in every way.

  • What do miss from pre-Reddit?

    Jump

  • IRC and Usenet. I was an avid user of both, even met my partner on IRC. I really miss the close knit communities on both. Oh and yahoo groups at the beginning.
