Although federated social media has the “chicken or egg” problem with content and attracting users, I’m content with places like Lemmy and Mastodon staying the small size they are right now for a little longer.

Sure, I definitely miss content from other platforms from time to time. But I think your comment about businesses and celebrities rings true. I’m happy to be clear of the grifters and influencers for as long as possible.

Post in communities that align with your interests. Post in communities for your geographic area, if you’re comfortable with that. Comment on posts you see, if you think you can add something of value to the conversation.

I ran into the same issue you did. No verification email, and my login credentials won’t work on the app or on the website.

I’d recommend everyone to buy a Kobo over these, it’s much easier to read your own .pdf and .epub files than on a Kindle.

Its still in alpha, and is feature incomplete, but I am already blown away by the performance and ease of use. I figured there’s no better way to help the process along than build some apps for it!

Trying to build a Pomodoro timer applet in libcosmic.

Just finished all the Rustlings exercises, moving on to some simple GUI exercises with libcosmic!
