Mid 50s, first went online on a 70s BBS, JANET user in the 80s.
The first record I chose was Ma Na Ma Na by the Muppets. The first record bought with my own money was Never for Ever by Kate Bush
Also, old.
Hang on, you’ll switch discuss.online to this sublinks.org ? What if I don’t want to?
Interesting links to Three Body Problem there.
That was my reason for asking about sublinks apps.
I know that devs like web interfaces but the truth is you need apps if anything social is going to become established.
It’s a sad fact in the fediverse that routinely apps or even front end GUI aren’t compatible. There’s only so many times this can happen (or instances shut down or not be maintained) before it all becomes a bit much.
So I think relying on Lemmy apps is a mistake.
As I understand it, Lemmy doesn’t support notifications through the api and the devs are resistant So apps have to take one of two routes either constantly polling individual servers or installing a service on the phone (which causes battery issues on Android or to get shut down on iOS)
Let me just check I’ve got this right.
Sub links is an enhanced version of Lemmy with some extra features. It works with normal Lemmy Clients. We’ll still be able to access our existing Lemmy communities but if our account is on a sublink instance then we’ll be able to take advantage of the enhancements in sublink communities.
We won’t need to migrate anything across manually, just log out and log in.
It is odd that community bans don’t come with any communication.
