Ya, it was an amazing experience and really solidified our future plans. We.got a 23' O'Day right now that we're sailing ATM but looking forward to living onboard.

Congrats, my wife and I did 101,103,104 , back and 2021. Used it as a 'can she live on a 42' boat for a week and he happy' and we came away mentally ready to move onboard. Was a great experience, even with a big storm the first day and minor engine troubles.

I made sure to pause RIF so I don't just blindly click on it.

I'm actually signed up via lemmy.world also, but found that link from here. (Listed as a way to find communities across all instances

https://join-lemmy.org/instances

Again, IMHO it just adds to the confusion with multiple places to discuss the same thing... Or maybe you just subscribe to all of them and it doesn't matter. :)

Don't have a lot of advice, took my ASA classes down in Ft. Lauderdale, and some of the cool places we stopped was no name key, Boca Chita Key and at our furthest point south we stopped/ate at Gilberts resort. It was a decent meal/stop.

I installed Jerboa earlier today and it is decent. And as I said I'm giving this a real try. I feel like all this place needs is people!

Ive spent 98% of my time here in Lemmy vs. 2% since last night. I'm not deleting my reddit account just yet, but, overall like what I am seeing here. I'm also just trying to figure everything out here.

There are issues/worries about what happens when an instance goes away, where's that content go? Duplicate/fragmented communities on multiple instances.

I'm more worried about losing the CONTENT that we created on Reddit, etc as a historic/research tool if reddit fails completely. Lot of content with people helping others.

I see/saw a lot of talk about wiping your data before leaving... I'm sure if that happened in larg volumes, they have backups of that content. No idea what legal ramifications there are with restoring them though.

I'm in a wait and see, but w/o RIF I'm gonna be hard pressed to use reddit on my phone, and if old. Goes away that might end it for me.

I'm definitely not pointing fingers at you for making a duplicate (just FYI). Just an observation, and honestly should probably be handled at the Lemmy level, if that's even possible. I haven't been here 24h yet I just stumbled on there being multiple "motorcycle" communities when trying to subscribe to stuff.

As for pic, not sure which picture you mean. If you're referring to the screen shot, none of that is mine. It's just.one of the communities.

[–] dmtalon 3 points 2 years ago

Correct, and unfortunately it will fragment those users into silos I believe. I saw in one of the stickies, for new users to search for communities before creating duplicates.

I'm tracking my HVAC filter and rest it's 90days with an NFC tag

Loosely followed an online how-to to create a tracking chore list using NFC tags for my son's allowance. Automations to nag him on trash night to gather/take out the trash.

A simple Automation that turns on a fan in the basement when the outside temp is above out AC setting to help distribute cool basement air.

Outside security lights on/off at dusk/dawn

House auto arms/disarms (Alarmo) when everyone leaves or someone arrives (via life 360 integration)

On trash day, after noon if my son scans (NFC) one of the trash cans, the garage door opens to let him in/put them away.

My son gets a notification when he comes home from school if we got mail (aka the mailbox was opened that day)

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

The problem I am seeing is there needs to be ONE motorcycles community, I see 3 right now. Too bad Lemmy can't/doesn't restrict duplicates. This will fragment the communities (unless I'm confused). New here as of last night and figuring this out but we should all try to be very careful about duplicating communities at least if I understand what I think I understand.

Was going through my subs on Reddit to try to start subbing to the same ones here.

I'm not knocking you, this is all new... But what makes sense?

[–] dmtalon 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I figured out how to subscribe to communities, but not sure how this works. Like I wonder if when a community is created if it propagates to the federation, or if you can have multiple "XYZ" communities.
