Might not be the kind of arts and crafts you’re talking about but I mod both !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works, plus there’s !crochet@lemmy.ca , !sewing@lemmy.world and plenty more that would be happy to have you!

Yep you’d expect it to climb significantly once .world upgrades. Basically this update messes with the baseline stat a lot so no reason to celebrate, but also no reason to really be fussed either way as long as we’ve got plenty people here to talk to 👍

Figure out what sort of thing you’d like to see, check out the related hashtag feeds. You can follow tags as a good way to get started and follow individual people as and when they pop up with something cool.

What kind of printer is it? The more-experienced-than-me folks will probably be able to point you in the direction of specific resources depending what type of printing you’ll be doing.

When we first got into printing I taught my husband the basics of CAD with Fusion360, and after a bit of wrangling with the unintuitive controls he found it pretty easy to use. It’s free for personal use, which is the main draw, but also it makes it easy to share designs with each other. That said I’m sure someone will be along to recommend a FOSS alternative because this is Lemmy after all.

Mainly I just wanted to say welcome to the gang and have fun printing a load of stuff you didn’t even know you needed! :D

Hello from Lemmy too :)

I happened to notice an ex-Pebble user in my feed asking for Mastodon help, a couple weeks back. Had never heard of it, but I did some digging, found there was a whole group of them wandering around lost and confused, so reached out and welcomed them and offered help. Honestly they’re very nice people, it seems like Pebble’s whole “thing” was a focus on people being cool to each other so attracted that certain sort of user.

Proud to say I was nominated first post-Pebble member of Pebble club 😎

*breaks out the marshmallows*

It’s one of those use-cases (and I understand why it’s not a thing, but still) where I’d love to have quote toots. Just being able to share the Mastodon version of a post but add a bit of text and hashtags and stuff so people on there see it and can easily interact with it. Commenting works but is a bit awkward on one side and a bit spammy on the other.

So many ways the integration could eventually go! But what we do already have is still pretty cool, just gonna keep experimenting with the best way to get people talking to each other.

Anyway consider me a recruit to your Lemmy/Mastodon crosspost revolution! 😄

You’ve articulated my thoughts perfectly and emboldened me not only to keep doing it, but to do it way more.

The trickiest part so far has been wording toots in such a way that they still look and read like Mastodon content, but also are in the correct format for Lemmy. Also the fact that I recently moved from an instance with an extra-long character limit to one with the default, but such is life lol.

Until recently it was impossible to browse All due to an issue where it would auto-refresh the feed with multiple posts every second. This and similar issues necessitated a big rewrite to move away from websockets.

Then that was fixed, but it was fixed the same week as the Reddit API went down, so making sure everything was stable and stopped setting on fire under the unprecedented load became priority.

All kinds of other things are still going on, for example there are continuing issues with federation not working as expected which is literally the main feature of Lemmy.

Devs have to prioritise, and “nice to have” features might be a way down their list. That is ultimately the answer to the question in your title.

Nice! Bookmarked for when this inevitably keeps coming up in support threads haha :D

I’ve definitely found it to be a good way to get interactions going in smaller communities so far, if the topic has a decent presence on the Mastodon side. Can’t quite decide if that’s cheating or not but some of those communities need all the help they can get!

Yeah both of those use the Lemmy software. Kbin is separate software. It works pretty much the same way as Lemmy in terms of there being multiple Kbin instances, they’re just running on the different software.

Fwiw you can post to both Lemmy communities and Mastodon at the same time, that does work pretty well, but it has to be from your Mastodon account and you tag the Lemmy community as a user. (First line of the Mastodon toot becomes the post title on Lemmy, fyi if you’re going to try it, and you can tag the community at the end it doesn’t need to be the first thing in your toot)

Not actually sure if that works the same way for Kbin magazines, I’m subscribed to plenty of them but most of them are kind of inactive so never had chance to test it. If anyone’s done the science and can report back, that would be interesting to know!

Well it’s half nine at night and I got maybe two hours sleep last night. So honestly not very much!

Going swimming in the morning though, that’s always fun.

Thank you for this rabbit hole.

All hail Blender Guru!

Case closed.

This question does get asked a lot, as someone else pointed out. But even if you go back to when it was asked a couple of years ago the consensus has always been lemmings.

Grosse Point Blank is not my favourite film of all time. But it’s the only one I’ve ever been able to honestly give a perfect 10/10 score.

The story, the cast, the script, the pacing, obviously the soundtrack, there is just not a single flaw I can find.

We do an extended edition marathon at least twice a year, sometimes more if it’s been a tough time. Last time we watched them was the week before getting married, to distract me from my stress.

I’m currently rereading the books and once that’s done we’ll do our first marathon as marrieds! 😄

I simultaneously hate to think, and also am very proud, of how many times we must have seen them by now.

Bubblebath. Whatever the problem, bubblebath.

Although if you’re in the US I think a lot of you have weirdly small baths over there so might not be quite as great an option. ymmv.
