I know there’s more than one Manchester community set up on the threadiverse (as I’ve heard it called) already but I’ve yet to see a single post on either of them, yet.
I’m sure this might befall the same fate but it feels the like best home for a Manchester community is in a Manchester instance.
So feel free to post your Manchester news, thoughts, questions and let’s build something!
I completely agree.
Also lemmy’s UI is shocking, especially on mobile. Although I’ve spent much of my career working on that sort of stuff so I wonder if I’m over-sensitive to it. Which suggests maybe I should have a look and see if I can offer some improvements. I think a few small fixes would go a long way.
@kev Haha I’m the complete opposite. My career has been completely on back-end systems. I can design you an elegant API with my eyes closed, but frequently I see people complaining about UI/UX issues and I genuinely never clocked that there was a problem until someone pointed it out.
Oh wow! I only just realised you were talking from your Mastodon account and I’m on a a thread on Lemmy. I’m completely amazed at how well that works!
@kev I just figured out the subscription, too.
I needed to search for @manchester in the kbin search tool. And now I’m subscribed (from my kbin account).
I had to search [email protected] to find it from kbin.social, although it’s not showing any content.
Clicking on the @manchester link in your comment gave me a 404
@Sausage @kev @manchester Gah this is all frustratingly inconsistent. I know it’s still early days for kbin and I’ve been spoilt by the relative maturity of Mastodon, but even so, surely the whole point of the Fediverse is federation!
Also, your avatar has made me realise that I need to jazz mine up a bit.
I’m feeling like I should add a sausage to mine!
