I like the beach a lot, but I've never been able to feel truly relaxed in one as there's always more people around and with more people more often than not comes shouting, laughing, loud music, etc. I think I associate the beach with being active and joyful, than being in zen-mode.
My idea of relaxation would be at my house, reading my books and magazines on my iPad or playing a solo TTRPG with an ice-cold carajillo or rompope cup in hand, with Portishead, Massive Attack or Nortec Collective playing in the background, during those late summer/early-mid fall months here in Mexico City in which you can hang in the garden, balcony or whatever, and the weather is just warm enough to make you feel cozy, while a breeze of fresh cold air hits you now and then, feeling the best of both worlds.
Same here. Im primarily a mobile user, so at this point my preferences are based on who has the better mobile UI. Looking forward to see these apps get more stable and steady!
I used sync for reddit a long time, then switched to Boost. I'll likely use Sync once it's developed here unless something blows me away before then. I'll also donate or pay for good apps to support them.
@52fighters I guess asking them to scream "Pakistan zindabad" (praising Pakistan) or "Hindustan Murdabad" (Down with India) can put them under stress. Especially if you insist that they shout it before proceeding with whatever they want to talk about. However, if I were in your place, I'd start pitching a sale for some made-up product to them.
Ahhh that sounds so nice ☺️ I’m a homebody so I recharge best at home, on my couch and the AC high so I can bundle under blankets while reading a book!
Sounds super cosy! Do you tend to read relaxing books? There are so many thrillers and exciting page turners which are great but I'd like to read something very calming, if such a thing exists.
One of my favorite cozy reads is howls moving castle by Dianne Wynne Jones and that series as a whole. If you’ve seen the movie, the book has enough differences that it’s completely worth a read.
I think Kbin, but the lack of an easy to navigate list of subscribed magazines has made me rethink a few times. On Lemmy, it's easier to get to a list of what communities you're subscribed to and the 'local' feed option can be quite useful too (e.g. on feddit.uk I can more easily use this to browse the UK content).
You can, but it takes several clicks and a bit of scrolling, and that only gets you to a non-alphabetical list that is inexplicably cut over multiple pages. It's making it unnecessarily difficult.
On Lemmy, they have a button at the top of the screen titled 'Subscribed', and if you click it you get a drop-down with all your subscribed communities alphabetically organised right there.
Wow, thanks for the link. The default interface is why I've tended to use kbin since getting an account for both, but finding user scripts like this for kbin to fine tune things is why I'm staying unless Lemmy changes a lot.
I found it more intuitive to find a magazine (community) with the kbin site. So much so I will.come here to find a @lemmy.world/c as federated and then may go back to lemmy to post
For me it's laying in bed at 4 PM, knowing everything is tidy, and nothing else needs to be done, and listening to some music from something having a less than stellar speaker - no sound fidelity, just like you would imagine a radio to be.
This is how I feel. I tried both but ended up gravitating to kbin. Once you spend some time familiarizing yourself with the features and UI, it is pretty pleasant to explore.
In the meantime, you can use the gear icon and enable compact mode if you want to do less scrolling. The icon is hidden below all posts on mobile unfortunately.

I'm really impressed with kbin so far. I'm still learning how to navigate it and all, it's missing the polish of something like Mastodon that is further along its development path. But it looks really promising.
Ultimately, I'm kind of hoping to end up on a much smaller instance possibly even self hosted after things settle down and mature further. The fediverse integration is wild and kind of strange to wrap your head around at first. At least it was for me.
To me, kbin feels the most like old reddit. I liked old reddit, but I'm definitely missing some QoL features.
I realized why I like kbin more while I was writing a front end for Lemmy. On Lemmy you have very limited control over filtering and sorting e.g
"Top" granularity is only at the day level whereas in kbin you can do hours. Lemmy only has a single "hotness" filter whereas kbin has the same granularity for hotness as it does top.
