First bot I’ve seen on Lemmy!

Oh man I used to love this band. Totally forgot about them for like 15 years it feels like until I saw this post!

Think it was a (temporary) issue with Connect - seemed to work with Jerboa

As Cory Doctorow termed it, it’s the enshittification of the Internet - all for the sake of “shareholder value” It’s a proper “can’t see the wood for the trees” business

Same here. I tried a few times past midnight but there it went. End of an era - gonna be one hell of a difficult habit to go cold turkey on. Hopefully Lemmy can fill the void…

Getting an error on Connect for Lemmy - no community with that name “MICROCONTROLLERS” could be found

Try Connect for Lemmy. Jerboa is just very badly bugged and a poor UX right now. Connect seems to be much less buggy as well as more usable generally.

I tried using Jerboa but it’s very badly bugged right now. Have been using Connect for Lemmy. As a long-time (10yr ) RIF user it doesn’t even get close to RIF, but it’s the best I’ve used so far. Here’s hoping TalkLittle or someone else makes an app for Lemmy (as I understand it he’s making RIF for Tildes, but Tildes has its own problems). Connect for Lemmy is OK, and is quite usable.

I’m currently working my way thru prehistory season of Tides of History by Patrick Wyman (Fall of the Roman Empire guy). Came out in 2020, and I’m really enjoying the detail it goes into.
