The URL to get a fully-managed Lemmy server from #SpaceHost is here:

@Track_Shovel @original_reader

LOL 😂

@thelsim

Some people call me by my username (“reiver”) when they meet me in person.

To me, it is as much my name as my given-names are.

…

When I consider signing up for a new platform — if my preferred username isn’t available, I often won’t join.

…

Which never used to be a problem — as it is an obscure English word using its archaic spelling —

But, there are a lot more people on the Internet now, than there were two or more decades ago. So sometimes it gets taken by someone else.

DNA sometimes moves from mitochondria to the cellular nucleus.

This can lead to speciation.

@original_ish_name

I’ll just replace “girlfriend” with “wife” since I am married —

Nothing happens. My wife knows me well. There isn’t anything I think would surprise her.

@HughJanus @Lazycog

Do you recall which Firefish servers you tried (that were having stability problems)?

@cygnus_velum

Yes.

There isn’t much that could make me not want to have kids.

…

I actually already have children. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

@interolivary @whiskeypickle

Hello from Mastodon.

@nivenkos @Ransom

Ha! 🙂 — I did that too back in the day.

But only to friends, as a joke.

This was back before e-mail spam was a thing.

@WhatsHerBucket

In general, yes.

@hitmyspot

It is all automatic.

You maintain the same relationship after the move.

If you just followed them, but they didn’t follow you — that continues after the move.

If they just followed you, but you didn’t follow them — that continues after the move.

If you followed each other — that continues after the move.

It is all automatic.

…

As a user, if someone who follows you moves their account, you see that as a new follow in your notifications.

@Euraru

Yes — assuming it is safe — I have a family to support and care for (so have to think of them, too).

I want to see what’s there — and see it first hand for myself.

Similar reason why I travel to different parts of the world to see things.

I think this is more than just curiosity.

@hitmyspot @hot_milky

That is what happens on Mastodon now when someone moves their account from one server to another — you get a notification of them following you from the other server.

@pianoplant

Very nice!

Would love to learn more about it.

@Ghast

I’m not sure if that is a question or not, but in case it is —

Yes, that is correct.

@dookie

What are about Mastodon, that you like, that Pleroma lacks?

@Bicyclejohn

It depends on what you mean by “replace”.

The Fediverse may cause centralized social-media networks to join the Fediverse.

There are some hints of that happening now.

Facebook / Meta has created a new social-media network that is part of the Fediverse.

Tumblr and Flickr are said to be joining the Fediverse.

So, some “popular social media” may become one with the Fediverse.

@Mango7874

I’m on the Fediverse, but not on Lemmy.

And I am replying to you.

Welcome to the Fediverse!
