Working the TLD into the name of the site itself is a recent trend I've seen. I did it with my instance, and so did the hosting service I use, elest.io

Yup! I've actually posted in both before (I did so on the former quite recently). However, !aquariums is for, well, aquariums. Y'know pets and their homes. !marine@r1b.it is for all sea animals, not just the pets!

But you're absolutely right -- I completely forgot about !ocean when writing this post. I shouldn't have said I've "never seen a marine community". Though, it is fairly inactive like you said. And this is the Fediverse! A little decentralization never hurt anyone ;) I'm perfectly happy to run alongside and support "competing" communities

Fr. It will be missed...

Honestly, any extremist slop

Oh no way! I totally understand that :) That's still nice to hear

Edit: I just saw how old your account was. I'm surprised you even considered it! I was hesitant on making my own instance because I had a pretty dang old account on feddit.org and bigger number better, lol

Thank you @Otter@lemmy.ca for recommending I post here 🫡

I haven't heard anything new beyond what's been said on Matrix. They still don't have a timeline, so they're just stuck waiting to get access back. Hopefully that won't be much longer!

Thank you kindly! Will do ;)

I've never seen Attack on Titan and I feel like that's an anime war crime. Is it worth giving a watch?

I've always been conflicted on LTS. As a Linux hobbyist, I've used bleeding-edge software for years and had very few breaks and issues, but as someone who also maintains their own instance, the added level of reassurance is nice. Do I think my stuff will break? No, thats why I use Arch/Artix on my laptop. Am I still anxious about it? Yes, that's why I use Debian for my servers

Genuine question from a hobbyist to professionals: what's wrong with existing Linux alternatives? I've done graphic design for years with things like Pixlr, Gimp, Blender, and Krita. Sure, the workflow takes some getting used to, but I've been able to achieve everything I've wanted by getting a little creative with the toolset

Damn I really need to rewatch House again

OMG YES!!! I thought this was just a me thing. It happens to me all the time with English and German
