How close are you to a social media burnout? in c/asklemmy

[–] Spitz 5 points 1 year ago

One of the great things about Lemmy is that you can control your user experience. No algorithms, no "suggestions" being forced on you, no ads, no data mining, no spez/Musk/Zuck. So curate my Lemmy space heavily and enjoy the peace and quiet and slow pace. R*ddit was my only social media for years so Lemmy is similar enough to that to be familiar and useful, but different enough to be worth using.

Ah, sorry if I seemed snappy. I replied when all of my Lemmy apps were glitching and I was getting cranky.

In my experience, pigeons will ravage just about anything. They're like the goats of the bird world.

I provide a variety of foods, and spread them out so different birds can eat different things.

Jerboa currently unusable for other people? in c/android

[–] Spitz 2 points 2 years ago

Well it was as laggy as the other apps, because of the update and the increase of signups. Also I found it difficult to navigate, to find the right buttons to push to access a certain thing. I know it's early days and I'm sure your app will improve in time, and I'll try it again later.

Nope. No brass instruments in this one.

I found Summit later on, and it didn't work well for me.

That's not it. This one is broody, modern sounding.

I couldn't get a recording or pick out any lyrics because it was in a supermarket and there was a lot of background noise. But if you've heard the song, I think the title might be enough. It had a very sparse instrumentation, drums fairly prominent, male singer, very strong melody.

Lemmy.world updated to 0.18.1-rc in c/lemmyworld

[–] Spitz 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw that Boost will require personal and financial info, location etc. It turned me off, tbh. At least the other Lemmy apps don't do that.

[Done] New try at upgrading to 0.18.1 July 1st 20:00 CET in c/lemmyworld

[–] Spitz 2 points 2 years ago

Didn't change my password, just reinstalled the app and logged in. But it won't let me post, reply, check messages, reply to messages etc. So not really worth it at the moment.

Grasshopper nymph that lived in my garden until it had eaten all of my zinnias. I named it Gary. I hope Gary's doing well these days. (lemmy.world)

Before their latest album, I was something of a casual Metallica fan. I liked a handful of their songs, and considered the rest of their songs to be recycled versions of their songs that I liked.

Then St Anger happened. I thought they were maybe getting too old to keep raging like hormone-driven teenagers, maybe they should start releasing c&w albums or something.

Then 72 Seasons came along and blew my tiny little mind.

I'm not massively keen on every song, but (imo) there are no weak songs on this album. It has a different energy, they tried different approaches to lyrics, soloing, drumming etc, while incorporating those fresh ideas into their established sound.

My personal favs off the album are Lux Æterna and Inamorata. Such great energy and great messages! My boss at work loves Inamorata so my colleagues tolerate it, but they are sick to death of Lux Æterna (I had it on repeat for a long while).

So that's my Metallica story. What's yours?

How do I change my password when I can't access it? (self.lemmyworld)

On signing up, I was offered an auto generated password and stupidly didn't write it down. I also didn't provide an email address. Is there a way to change my password? I'm trying to log in to jerboa and I need access to my password to do that.

Hello people!

Reddit has been my main (and often only) social media site for years. Due to third party apps getting slaughtered, and the official app being a bag of pus, and reddit admins making bad decision after bad decision, I saw Lemmy mentioned as an alternative and thought I'd try it out. So far I can't make sense of the settings, how to search for things etc, but I'm sure that will come with time. I hope so, anyway!
