This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that - if you want to read current Marvel story arcs, but not buy every tie-in story (from characters you don’t really like or care about, for example) - digital comics are how you’ll want to go.

There are lots of ways to get free digital comics, and as the other reply said, use a search engine or wiki to find the reading order and all the tie-ins. That’s just the way Marvel does things, and I’m pretty sure DC does it the same way - that’s how the story stays cohesive, and how more sales are made. Your friend is absolutely right.

If you’re going to a local comic book store, try asking the employees - not everyone cares, or pays attention, but sometimes you’ll find a passionate employee (or owner) who can help you find the tpbs involved in the storylines.

I don’t think it’s a Sync only thing. I get that you can see them in the browser, but since I started using Lemmy last year I have noticed the occasional number of comments not matching the visible comments - not just in Sync, tho. It’s happened to me while using the pwa and with other apps.

If you want to switch clients, go ahead and try them out - there are a lot of choices these days. I think LW has a variety of frontend options, too. Maybe one of those will be a good fit?
(I dunno, I really like Sync, but I’ve also installed and used just about every Android Lemmy app, and just end up coming back to Sync each time. Don’t get me wrong - there are some that are really good, but Sync is still my top pick.)

Does it happen with defederated instances too? Say if the LW user gets a reply from a hexbear user? (I think those are defederated, at least)

Your voice is fine, and I don’t think it’s annoying. At all.

Maybe “hate” is a strong word for it, but everyone’s voice sounds different to their ears than it does in their head. It has to do with resonance chamber something something

I use this app called MoeMemos which is for memos I guess? But the reason I mention it like this is because I’m the user who needs to have the easy access on our server :-P

I don’t know if it’s an active community or not just checked and it looks like it’s active on GitHub at least.

Yeah, how many random accounts were made just by this most recent incident of spam across the fediverse? If there was a new account made for each of those spam posts? Not even talking about alt or abandoned accounts. These numbers are gonna be off because of that stuff, right?

I feel like I’m failing adulthood after being bested by a bedsheet.

Don’t worry - most older adults people aren’t going to quiz you by bringing a fitted sheet to watch you fold. If you want to bunch it up and shove it in a cabinet, just go ahead!

A lot of times when I wash our sheets I just put them right back on the bed. Now there’s a life hack for ya!

3. Muffins (Seems to be the overall best, but it would kinda be a hassle)

The hassle is what makes it a good gift. Just sayin. Worry about finals more than stressing about what to get her. 🙂

Concur. I have every card, note, poster, or coloring page I’ve ever gotten from a student. (I volunteered with kids younger than OP)

Misspelled words don’t matter (I guess maybe if it’s your language arts/spelling/writing teacher it would matter a little) because they thought of me and put time, thought, and energy into a gift for me instead of making a tiktok or whatever.

Here’s more of the page, that looks like it explains more about the “who” just by dividing it by categories (I found it useful, at least)

… just throw the second one away if nobody orders an espresso while it’s still fresh. In a moderately busy bar excess espresso shots are not really a problem.

I used to hang out at a coffeehouse (in high school, I’d go with friends or alone - just to sit and read/write/draw) and the proprietors would always make a fresh pair of espressos for the one shot that would go into the latte or americano, then offer me the leftover shot of espresso (when it wasn’t very busy and it would have gone to waste). But yep, two shots were made, every time.

It sometimes pays to be a regular someplace 😸
