For us, we have to watch the unskippable ad during Star Trek Picard, then it jumps back 10 minutes in the episode so we need to fast forward to get back to our place. This has been going on for several episodes.

Things We Said Today

Totally agree. Have found jobs through LinkedIn, but it’s timeline is 90% junk. Even the ads are so jargon filled that they are incomprehensible: “Improve your JEHSBN usage to ensure BENS compliance by purchasing XXYYZZ software!”

I have been comparing accounts on Kbin.social and Readit.buzz and find that the post don’t populate/federate as well on the smaller instance. I generally feel like I am not getting all of the posts and certainly not all of the image previews on Readit as I get on social. I don’t get the sense that a smaller Lemmy instance has the same problem, but I don’t have a Lemmy.ml/Lemmy.world account, so i can’t say for sure.

Interesting point, maybe people with more gaming growing up prefer the dark mode. Much of the gaming era came around after my time!

I get the impression that the preference for dark mode tends to be more common in Millennial/Gen-Z men.

As an older Gen-X, I cannot stand having dark mode on during the day or light mode at night. I use auto whenever it is available. I don’t know why!

My daughter and her female friends do not have dark mode during the day. My younger coworkers often have dark mode at work, but only the male ones.

I’m curious about those who use dark mode all the time: were you born after 1980 and male?

Was pretty painful to recreate my account on Lemm.ee, but I think that I have it mostly recreated. I am wondering if there is some way to automatically download a full list of subscriptions so that I can either sync up a backup account or at least have a file that I can import with a new account in case Lemm.ee blows up.

Fortunately, I had manually exported the list to sync it up with my Kbin accounts about a week and half ago, so I did have some of them tracked. Exporting into Excel was not easy!

Another user here that had set up VLemmy as primary instance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to back up subscriptions and how to do due diligence on an instance to make sure that it is more credible/stable?

I have relaunched on Lemm.ee, and want to make sure that I am prepared for this happening again!
