make your own, selfhost shortlink app, buy an eays to remember/type domain linkshrink.ing or something, tons of options for cheap extensions when the domain is for yourself and not selling things or running a business

I wish it was more straightfoward to make vm, customize settings and then transfer that to an external ssd to dual boot, I want to ease into linux but I get confused seeing all the differetn ways to do things and no consensus.

Also people talking about changing Distris all the time, do they retain their data? Is that what a home drive is for? Just asking here since you seem to know lol. Like can you redload your apps, ui, retain your data “easily.” (once you do it once)

like the recent video app, its just tapping into blueskys existing centralized feed, I dont like how bluesky pretends to be federated down to letting you use your own domain

Its just a blueksy frontend with just pics I thought? Is the at protocol not open?

Yeah I unfollow ppl if they like stuff I dont like since it taints the algorithim, for the most part I get a suprisingly decent feed on my official real person account, and a really good one for my 3d visuals account.
I like seeing other ppls likes, my whole twitter feed used to be some of my friends likes that ithe algorithim realized I enjoyed (itd show who liked it when showing you the post) my feed went to shit after they turned that off.

Touchdesigner, if you want to put a little effort in and can run it.

most of social media is anonymous, ill remember you theoctonaut from mander, that makes this social media, I remember some users and see them pop up all the time, theres a social aspect, its not just sharing links

I need to redload reddit or some frontend so I can steal interesting links from there to post, one day ill be bored and feel like growing some communities

I do think if any of those pop culture communities get abnend because of a controversy they might come here, isnt there a defederated drama community?

I don’t feel out of it, but I also use tiktok, ig reels (suprisingly amazing algorithim, least controversial, my 3d edm visual profile (amateur af) only sees 3d and edm reels for the most part, doesn’t really favor low follower counts but its great for popular stuff.

I miss old twitter, wondering if any mastodon or pleroma instance is like that. Sharkey seems more tumblr ppls vibe. It was always current and fun to talk in.

Reddits out of it forsure, ppl can identify a redditor and its never a compliment lol. I always hated when ppl called me on, but they were spot on. Lemmy’s not too bad, ppl just dont seem to care about pop culture here, might be due to lack of communities or posters, gotta be the change you want to see in growing communities like this.

I need to start posting more stuff on the edm ones, I feel out of the loop there and want them to be as active as reddit was.

Wordpress supports activityhub, idk how it works.

If I ask something here, no one will tell me to google it because it was asked before 5 years ago (like mf that information isn’t relevant still)

Reddit is fake liberal idk what it is, mfs say its so liberal but id be forced to see conservative posts with no way to block them

Less repetitive, less “inside” jokes that get spammed, people reply. I got used to arguing so much that I get defensive here, everyone wants to argue over everything on reddit, while here ppl are more likely to show interest.
