It feels like if Twitter and LinkedIn had a baby, it would be Threads.
Thank you for the reassurance, I think I will share my hobby once I start! Maybe someday you'll see a gemstone on your feed and recognize my name. 😄
Thank you! You're soothing my nervousness quite a bit lol, I'll take the plunge and start posting as soon as I have my equipment!
I've never used Instagram before but I would like to start posting photos, however the vibe I'm getting from Pixelfed is this is a medium for photography art. I'm learning to facet gemstones and thought it would be cool to do photos of my gems that I cut to show my talent progress. Would that kind of non-photography art fit in on Pixelfed?
Does your picker have a little light inside it, or is that just the way the light is reflecting because of the cut itself?
Some clever coding genius should host an instance for a bot they make that stays federated with everyone, and the entire point of the bot is to crawl across posts and anyone posting from Threads gets a nice public reply about why Threads is a toxic instance and they should switch to a non-Meta one immediately.
Looks like I need to buy me some cute devil horns to wear when I go vote.
The article is behind a paywall. Can you share the text?
To piggy back on this, images in between texts also aren't showing, despite the improvements so far.
https://lemmy.world/post/195020 <-- this post is a good example, in web it's very different from Memmy.
Edit: I think Lemmy.world is having a struggle, here's an alternate link to the same post: https://vlemmy.net/post/67734
Oh gosh, I'm horrid at having half finished projects... Now you tell me I can leave stones on a dop for ages? I'm going to have to be militant with myself to avoid hoarding half-done gems. 🤪
Please share before and after photos if you can! I love seeing the difference, it helps me get excited about the few rough I have right now.
(PS my ultra tec will be here late September - it'll be a few months before I can post anything exciting 🥺)
Mlem and Memmy are genuinely both awesome. I recommend you get both and try them out. I’m currently leaning towards Memmy but Mlem still gets some attention from me too.
Each still has their little bugs and quirks to work out, and the creators are very receptive to feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to check out their respective community and post your feedback when you have it!
These are made from an old jelly roll I had laying around. It turns out one jelly roll piece is just a little more than twice the length of your average dpn, so they're a perfect size. The more you know!
Garnets are my favorite stone 😍 I'm really excited to facet a whole bunch of them when my machine arrives - probably going to be one of my first stones!
