Hello all! Me and my friend are two girls from Kosovo who will be coming to the island next summer (summer '24) as J1 students. We have already found a job that will sponsor us, but unfortunately they don't provide housing. I'm writing this to ask if any of you know where or how we can find affordable and safe (keep in mind, we are two young students) housing for the duration of the summer season (May through September). Thank you in advance!
How much of this works with Mastodon and Pixelfed?
Hi, @AskKbin community! (ง ื▿ ื)ว
I created a couple of groups on a #Lemmy instance to see how well they got along with #Mastodon & #Pixelfed. Even though I could create posts from Mastodon comments made from Lemmy were invisible to Mastodon users and vice versa.
I like the fact that #Kbin allows tagging contents in magazines. Is there something else I should know to post from other socials?
People constantly complain that my gen spend too much time on our devices.
I could pretty much do exactly the same thing I do but using a bunch of other alternatives.
I was asked about going a month without my phone. But what would that actually entail?
Could I still watch my tv ? Would Netflix and prime still be allowed? If I don’t read reddit anymore since I’m moved away from that cesspool. Can I just read news articles from other sites instead?
Does it mean no access to the Internet? Can I use my phone for maps and music and ebooks but nothing else?
I think the argument is good. Why are people obsessed with commenting on people being on their phones but not those that spend a similar amount of time watching shit on tv ?
Here’s a question for you.
I went on a 3 week holiday and had a similar thought process. Now I’m generally on my phone all the time if there’s nothing else going on. But I will make a conscious effort to put it away if we are doing things socializing and during group activities. My question to my partner was
What’s the difference between me being on my phone and not paying attention to anyone and everyone reading their books ?
Would the same retort as. Why’s he on his phone vs in a book. It’s the same level of antisocial yet one is seen as derogatory and the other is a holiday past time.
It’s more social constructs than anything else. Phones bad but books good. Simplicity
In your feed next to thread titles, you can click the domain there (smaller text in parenthesis), where the website/instance will display content posted to it just like a "magazine" allowing you to block it there. Also similar to the magazine URL, it's https://kbin.social/d/name.extension.
Note that for instances, it won't actually block threads from a blocked instance unless the content is hosted on that instance. And that can be a bit silly, like cross-instance posting not being blocked due to using their host instance for an image.
What are good web hosting services for a social community platform? should I use AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Something else? (Needs to be budget friendly)
IMO, yep. I understand why it’s not where it “needs” to be yet. I’ve had to make a Lemmy alt cuz kbin mobile kept being weird, and while Artemis exists, it’s been having more issues of late as well. Meanwhile the Lemmy apps are becoming more and more polished.
