Hydrox could be a detergent, medicine, plumbing brand, pet supplument, video game boss, maybe even a sports drink but NOT a freaking cookie.

These are bad but God forgive the massgrave of uncreativity that is Yotube comments

Gosh I hate award speech edits

I don't know about these workarounds but I remember Win10 has something like "Create for another person" then "I don't have their info" and it will just let you create a local acocunt. I don't know about 11 tho

Transmission into submission?

Good thing it's federated

I'm a forever Linux noob currently using Q4OS (Debian-based with TDE/KDE) because it is for a toaster with a small storage and I'm used to Windows.

Yes! Though I learned recently that interactions in, for example, a Misskey post often would not show up if viewed on Mastodon. Might be different with other platforms but I don't want to bother migrating

• Basically, Mastodon is a microblogging platform which makes it can be alternative to Twitter or Tumblr.
• Lemmy is a social news aggregator which makes it alternative to Reddit or Digg.
• I haven't used kbin, but it describes itself as both. So if you like to have both the features of microblogging and content aggregators at the same platform, go try it. Kbin can do this because it and the former two uses ActivityPub, aka they are in the Fediverse so you can see and follow content from each other's platforms, just presented in the format of the platform you're in (imagine Twitter posts in your Instagram feed).

I started with Mastodon and I'm new here on Lemmy. I think Reddit alternatives are pretty straightforward in the Fediverse. I'm here at Lemmy because it's the most obvious what I came for with Reddit.
Meanwhile, Twitter alternatives here are a can of worms. There's Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Gnusocial, etc. and all of their individual forks, competing with how much "micro" or how much "blogging" each have. Luckily, with Activitypub, content are shared with each other.

Can't have a favorite song but probably my favorite metal album still is Trivium's The Sin and the Sentence. It's got nice mix of influences from various metal substyles. Probably my first "real" metal album as well since I listened more to fusions genres.

I play bass and guitar in my bedroom and produce mainly electronic rock music with just LMMS as a hobby from high school and I'm kind of getting back to it.

this sub-lemmy is the only music related community I’ve seen so far

I have the opposite problem, I have seen multiple Music communities in their own instances and don't know which to subscribe to. There's also [email protected] and a number of commmunities for specific niches (such as specific DAWs, fandoms, platforms). They are mostly not as active as this one so it would be cool if we check them out.
