  • I really like it so far, especially with the new apps. I’m using Boost and I honestly can’t tell the difference between this and the old Boost for Reddit. The transition is really smooth. Oh, and everything on Lemmy feels very intuitive and the people seem less toxic.

    And Mastodon…I really like it. I’ll post something with the right hashtags and suddenly there’s a conversation between a bunch of people with the same interests that goes on for weeks!



  • Yeah it’s insane how expensive everything gets. I’m subscribed to a bunch of streaming services (like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc) and sometimes I use them a lot but HBO, for instance, I’ve only used a few times and it’s just sitting there on our smart TV taking up space and draining our bank account. But I got it when there was a really good deal and if I cancel and resubscribe I have to pay the full amount. Then again, I’m probably wasting more money with it now than I would’ve if I’d just cancelled and then resubscribed when I actually used it. Oops.

    But yeah, I’m definitely not going to pay more for those services than I am now, so if the pricing gets even more ridiculous I’m out.




  • I have an account and never posted anything because it feels intimidating to post my first…post there. (Do people on Mastodon call it post or is there a different word similar to Twitter’s ‘tweets’?).

    It looks really good though, but I find it more intimidating than Lemmy / kbin!


  • I am trying it out now! I like the layout / UI; reminds me of Boost and Joey which I liked a lot. One thing that bothers me is the colour scheme, though. In light mode it’s blue (?) and dark mode is more like some weird grey mode, and I’d prefer it to be a darker grey like in most apps (perhaps it could be more customisable so that people can change it to fit their preferences).


  • I really like the Jetbrains Mono font!

    Aa for a theme, I set up my Windows theme so it uses a dark theme at X time and a light theme at X time using the task scheduler. I now have Rider set up so it automatically uses the system theme (dark/light) and I am currently using the Solarized themes (I think both for light and dark themes though I’ve been switching my dark theme around a lot to try and find the perfect one so I’m not 100% sure XD). It automatically switches between the two depending on the time of day.
