Oh, thank you very much! Will send you a DM.

I do, but I’m on a waitlist (and don’t want to selfhost) so I’ve not been able to try it out yet (I don’t make calls through WhatsApp, so I see the lack of support as a benefit).

On Connect, the latter works but the former doesn’t. Weirdly if I click on my own username posted upthread, it can’t find me.

Kbin does odd things with links and communities, so I think part of the problem is it has mangled or added some unexpected links when you’ve written the post. However, some of your links in the original post work for me on Lemmy (!freegames@feddit.uk is fine), so you might want to compare them.

I’m not sure why Lemmy uses an exclamation mark for communities when everywhere else uses an @. It would be a lot easier if it used @ then it’s universal for Kbin, Mastodon, Lemmy.

The new communities group suggests to use the format I’ve used in my previous posts (basically /c/community@instance) - this won’t work on Kbin because it uses /m/. It’s better to use @ there as you said.

No problem, have added all the ones I know about.

OK, so will probably miss loads, but try these for starters. Where I’ve found multiple for the same platform the more active ones are nearer the top.

As for platforms, there are a load of retro ones which can be added, not sure if you want to include those?

I use this on all my Pis.

Firelord is an old one but gorgeous. Chicory is pretty, in a colouring book sort of way. Child of Light and Forgotton Anne have fairly similar aesthetics but are both lovely.

Interesting take. I would have gone for “A known enemy of Putin suddenly dies in a plane crash over Russian airspace.”

Not a name, but something else to be aware of which could also happen with names.

Activating the Super Sheep in Worms DC. It was always “argh, I can’t control this, kaboom I’ve blown up one of my own worms”, but it was fun to try!

Yeah, the way it works with groups is not great. There are news feeds on Mastodon which are probably a better option to follow from there.

I assume you’re following from Mastodon? Unfortunately that’s how Mastodon works with groups - you see boosts of every single comment on your feed.

You’re better off with a Lemmy or Kbin account if you want to follow groups.

(and for the sake of clarity, this news account you’re following isn’t a bot - it’s a group)

Pretty sure I’ve had “click all bicycles”, with a bicycle drawing on the road.

Please no.

I did have a problem with this, but it was due to a password manager (possibly Chrome’s built-in one which I had a load of passwords duplicated in at one point) auto-filling a hidden field with the wrong password.

The front-end error is backup corrupt, but it’s not, it’s just the encryption key has been changed at the point of restore. Sort that and error gone.

Backing up to a local server and then shunting off to B2 is largely what I do, except I just use a local file share and try not to store much locally. The Windows 10 built in backup works quite well for this. The file share I back up using Duplicati.

They finally worked out how to exit this realm?
