I had the same experience with OSM maps years ago, but you’ve convinced me to give it another chance. I’m looking forward to seeing if it handles public transport in Vancouver as well as Google Maps does.

Could be, for sure. I may try to post some things from Lemmy.ca to Kbin later. I was successful in posting from Kbin to Lemmy.ca a few hours ago, so I wonder if there’s a problem in the other direction.

I’m not particularly concerned with how “the kbin user base” looks or any silly tribalism like that tbh. I’m just wondering if/why the issue might be happening. If the string doesn’t appear in the git repo, that’s a useful data point for sure. But plenty of people are confirming that something is going on, so the questions as to 1) what is causing it and 2) why are still out there.

Right on, all of that makes sense. The issue with #2 is that when I went to Kbin mags via Lemmy, the upper-right menu continued to give a “Subscribe” option (instead of “Unsubscribe” for my subbed Lemmy communities). But I think that might have happened when I’d visit some Lemmy subs as well. Either way, it’s early days, and this is a great new Fediverse app that I plan to use a ton. Thanks again!

Solid start! Questions re subscribed communities:

1. Does Connect only display 10 communities under “subscribed” in the left-hand menu? There are a LOT of subscribed communities missing from mine. (Also, I believe that only communities from my home instance are showing up, but not 100% sure of that.
2. Does Connect understand subscriptions to Kbin magazines that one subscribes to thru Lemmy? I don’t think it recognizes my Kbin magazine subs, but I may be wrong.

Either way, this strikes me as an improvement over Jerboa, so I will be using it. Thanks for your hard work on this!

Nope, I can’t risk not being fully aware of my surroundings.

Don’t forget to hit the CTRL button when clicking on any external links so they open in a new tab. Basically pretend it’s 2012 again.

Gorsuch is a mixed bag at best on a lot of issues, but he has been as good as anyone could expect on Indigenous issues. Check out his concurrence in this case (starting on PDF page 43), which straightforwardly grapples with the history of forced family separations and residential schools.

Ah, I see. I mean, I don’t know that you really need to create it on this instance. Though I get why this would be a natural home for it!

Be the change you want to see in the world.

(I’m partly kidding – there are a ton of communities I’d like to see carry over from Reddit to here, but I don’t bother because I don’t have bandwidth to be a mod. So I get it. But if you have time, feel free to make the communities yourself!)

A good reminder not to let one’s intrusive thoughts win

If Reddit were to back down from their API gamesmanship, I’d probably stick with Infinity, as it’s a great app and easily my favorite 3P Reddit app.

I don’t expect Reddit will back down, so in all likelihood I will miss both this service and this app. Damn shame.

Hiking opportunities, the proximity of mountains and sea. I would say weather, but it’s gotten a lot hotter over the past two decades…

Definitely Civ VI for me as well. I’m stressed out by some work obligations lately, and nothing relaxes me more than coming home and sending some giant death robots to obliterate a few cities now and again.

If you’re looking at the older ones, I’ve got a soft spot for Civ IV. The smooth dulcet tones of Leonard Nimoy reading historical quotes every few turns are always a plus.
