Yeah this is a normal phrase in British English too. Today you learned!

Oh this is very cool. Lucky friend!
- Comment on My very first amigurumi! 7 months ago:
He’s adorable and you should be very proud of your chonky lil boy!
You should also crosspost him to !crochet@lemmy.ca if you didn’t already 😄
- Comment on My very first amigurumi! 7 months ago:
Basically a knitted or (more often) crocheted toy. It’s a Japanese word that got adopted.

Allow me to translate. It means our admin is a boss.
- Comment on Newsmast Brings Huge New Features in 3.0 Update - Opening Up the Possibility of Custom Feeds for the Fediverse 7 months ago:
I’ve not “used” it but for some reason they’ve decided to include one of my accounts in their gaming feed so I checked it out.
Just seemed like a too-broad-to-be-useful repost bot, although apparently there are real people “curating” too. Why they’d repost my inane ramblings if it’s actually human-curated, I do not know.
I do however know quite a few people who blocked them already since it just looks at first glance like complete spam. Like most Fedi stuff, they could probably do with communicating better what it is they’re actually trying to do.
- Comment on Font sizes on Lemmy: they vary too much? 7 months ago:
Bit of a weird one, I use the default UI myself and haven’t had any issues with it. But maybe if you can post a pic it’ll help us figure out what’s going on?
- Comment on Mastodon tries to solve its problem with tracking down other users 7 months ago:
There are some opt-in directories for finding people by topic.
- Comment on Mastodon tries to solve its problem with tracking down other users 7 months ago:
Such a weird way of framing a cool new feature.
The problem it solves is that typing on a phone is annoying, and that’s a problem every other app has too.
The “problem” of people not being able to find you if you give them your handle instead? Based on recent experience of a lot of non-techy friends signing up and finding and following me with literally no problems, I’m pretty sure that isn’t a thing.
- Comment on Two amateurish questions 7 months ago:
It’s how both platforms (and I assume the rest of fedi) work. If you follow an account from Mastodon, that your server has never seen before, it’ll be blank until new posts are made. That goes for other Mastodon accounts, Lemmy communities / users, Pixelfed accounts, PeerTube channels, etc etc.
If you subscribe to a Lemmy community, and your Lemmy server has never seen that community before, same thing. Blank until new posts.
It caused a lot of confusion and tech support last summer but now that most servers know about most other ones I guess it’s not as common to run into these days :D
- Comment on Two amateurish questions 7 months ago:
Pixelfed only shows media posts, so if you’re following a Mastodon account you will see any posts made with images attached but not text-only ones.
- Comment on Two amateurish questions 7 months ago:
The blank feed is just because nobody from your Mastodon server was following this account yet. Works the same as following any other new-to-your-server Masto account in that respect, but it should start showing new posts made since you followed.

For anyone who enjoys seeing how the sausage is made, OP also has some devlogs up on YouTube, I’ve been following for a little while. youtube.com/@PaahtimoGames
Congrats on the release!
- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 8 months ago:
0.19 broke federation for quite a lot of people for the majority of December, probably has something to do with it.
I’ve been an almost daily Lemming since last summer but when nothing I posted was making it off my server for about three weeks there wasn’t much point!

Nice! Was it from a kit?
- Comment on Update - Crossposted to !leatercraft@lemmy.ca - [SomeoneElseMade] Leather Milk Carton 9 months ago:
Obviously very much up to you but I do think crossposting has its place! Actual crossposting, not duplicate posts, important distinction there. Doesn’t show up twice in people’s feeds, but lets you reach both the small niche audience in the original hobby community and then also the potentially wider audience in a community like this! And of course, lets people in the bigger community know the smaller one exists.
That said I do use it sparingly :D
- Comment on Update - Crossposted to !leatercraft@lemmy.ca - [SomeoneElseMade] Leather Milk Carton 9 months ago:
I mostly crosspost here when I finish knitting a nice pair of socks. Occasionally hint at other crafts that they should do the same with their finished projects, to limited success. Of course there are plenty crafts that don’t have a community yet, too, so it’s nice to have an enthusiastic catch-all community like this for when it’s needed.
- Comment on Update - Crossposted to !leatercraft@lemmy.ca - [SomeoneElseMade] Leather Milk Carton 9 months ago:
!leathercraft@lemmy.ca may appreciate it, although I don’t know what their stance on linkdropping is. It’s a pretty quiet community though so no harm in trying.
(you are forgiven, we still love you <3)

You did not make this!
- Comment on Wafrn is a tumblr clone that connects to the fediverse 9 months ago:
Thank you.
- Comment on Wafrn is a tumblr clone that connects to the fediverse 9 months ago:
I cannot for the life of me figure out what this actually is. But congrats on building it and yay for more federated stuff!
- Comment on Could we have Alexandrite and Photon front-ends on lemm.ee? 9 months ago:
Last I heard, Sunaurus had decided against hosting them due to maintenance and security concerns. Basically it would make his life more complicated, which is fair enough.
- Comment on I made DIY Christmas cards with a die cutting machine 9 months ago:
Crafters have to be very organised to get all of our gift makes in. This just seems like sensible time management to me!
- Comment on We have a new lemm.ee status page, including federation status, at status.lemm.ee! 9 months ago:
Looks great, thanks for this!
- Comment on Anyone else notice the fediverse is quite close knit? 9 months ago:
I very much enjoy running into folks from the various crafting communities in other contexts, bumping into Mastodon friends on Lemmy and vice versa and then dropping into each others PeerTube comments.
Irl I live in a small town and absolutely despise not being able to leave the house without running into someone who knows us. But for whatever reason I find it adorable on Fedi 🤷♀️
- Comment on YSK: You can search (most of?) lemmy as a search engine 11 months ago:
That’s actually pretty handy. Cheers!
- Comment on Is there any Lemmy app/client that allows you to comment from a different account? 11 months ago:
Bear in mind Liftoff is probably going to stop working with Lemmy 0.19 so don’t get too attached to it 😢
- Comment on Threads has hashtags now 11 months ago:
PeerTube allows spaces in its tags, they get stripped out at one end or the other when a video federates to Mastodon to make them compatible.
- Comment on Lower Decks: Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? 11 months ago:
I knew that would be a step too far. The dream is dead 😆
- Comment on Lower Decks: Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? 11 months ago:
Yes! Although, I have to admit I’ve never rewatched Farscape since it was originally on, I was still in school and me and my bestie were obsessed. Kind of worried to rewatch and find it doesn’t hold up. Firefly on the other hand, totally holds up!
Ok this will put the cat among the pigeons. And I probably shouldn’t be admitting it on the internet, but I just have to know…

For all I love scifi, I cannot stand the Battlestar Galactica remake. Thoughts?
