@keithzg Same, but with a dope set of bluetooth headphones (minus the OS part)

@shaka_lulu Welcome!

@thurloat How does it work? Who are you using for DNS?

@thurloat Are you implementing an alternative to the Cloudflare DNS thing?

@Modern_Industrial @UberTumbleweed its to do with federation. we don't block anyone anymore at the instance level.

if no one on our instance follows that user yet, their toots won't be federated here yet. if certain toots are boosted, only those will appear on your local view.

there's a little cheat to put their full @user@instance in the search bar to force federation too.

This is the only good application

@UberTumbleweed Which instances are you having issues with? I think we federate pretty widely, but you can always reach out to @thurloat if there's one we dont.

@mthedestroyer A terrific science! I hit my limit with due to some unfortunate run-ins with molarity vs molality, but it's always such fascinating work. Glad to have you here!

@mthedestroyer Welcome, Maria! What do you science?

@allan I have mixed feelings. I agree that experience has often been traded for "having been there", missing the point of travel. OTOH, this has the ring of "amateurs, get off my lawn." This felt like a good riposte:

Smarter skeptics might object on the grounds that, as a travel writer, I am on the road countless days a year with time to spare, whereas they get 10 vacation days a year and have to make them all count. Or they’re traveling with kids so there’s little room for error.

@ink_slinger stay strong

@mooshoe @kev Very true. To @mooshoe point, starting out with the local feed would be beneficial, especially if you select an instance by topic.

Maybe it would be worthwhile to rebrand your feed as a "personalized" feed or "pinned" feed? Highlight that this is your distinct place, but there are others to check out? How we can connect people with starter content without committing them to it?

@MooShoe @kev @mooshoe Thank you - I've been too anxious to try this myself. :)

So, were you able to keep all of the folks you followed as you transitioned? Were your followers able to automatically follow your new account? What happened to your old posts?
