There is a bug in 3.30.1 making it sync everything, in a loop. Keep an eye on your data usage! https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/13738

Maybe the “Crust of Rust” series by Jon Gjengset? (Mobile is giving me a hard time, but search for that on YouTube)

I’ve only been on mastodon for a couple of days, but yes it is active, and depending on what you’re after it might we worth it. For me, it seems to be a nice mix of keeping up to date with things and people I already know, and at the same time stumble upon (related) things I did not yet knew about.

You will have to put in some effort to follow people/accounts/hashtags, but that’s kinda fun. Just try it out!

That’ll work when typing things online, but not in f2f conversations. I thought about ‘com(m)’ which will work, typed out in certain contexts, but I think that sounds too much like other words in several languages including English to use in speech. But if you prepend ‘lemmy’ to that it’s quite a distinguishable word that sounds like ‘lexicon’: lemmycom(m)!

There’s a lemmycom for that.

“Community” as the other replies already mentioned, but how do we abbreviate that? “Sub” worked well imho, but does “com” have the same ring to it? Any better suggestions?

Regarding the language_not_allowed and losing your comment in Jerboa, I had the very same thing happening to me today. (Jerboa v0.0.31 I think, I updated it somewhere today to v.0.0.32 but that was after losing that comment). As I’m on a different instance, it does not seem to be something specific to your instance. Besides that, I’m puzzled about how we should approach these language settings too.

I’ve had some success with searching for specific comment URLs indeed. The reply part I don’t know for sure.

I’m not familiar with the details of setting up a Lemmy instance, but can’t you already get the new instance up and running with a modified /etc/hosts instead of waiting for the DNS to be updated? That might reduce your overall downtime a bit.
