Well... I did, it was fun to see the IT support team of my work shaking every time they access my machine to some maintenance:

I believe it's how the data is structured.

Lemmy is focused on themes and topics, with the "user" not being the focus (you can't even follow a user on Lemmy).

That's reversed on Mastodon, with focus on the users you follow, and the topics (hashtags, groups, etc) being optional.

For some people, Lemmy is better, for others, Mastodon or other microblog platform. The fact that both can exist in the same network is magical to me.

I do see some cases where "experience using our product is a plus", but the way it was told you as a "negative feedback" I feel is wrong.

They probably don't want to spend time training a new employee on their product, which to me is a huge red flag. You dodged a bullet there.

My country (Brazil) doesn't have any regulations about it. Don't know about the EU.

If you like games, try looking at the users of GameDev Place

If you like visual art, Mastodon.Art can be a good place to start.

If you are from Europe, there are a few official accounts at https://social.network.europa.eu/directory

If you like memes, I strongly recommend @skeletor@mas.to and @SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to

If you need to get news, Flipboard is in the process of federating its content, you can see a few users that are already able to be followed in this post: https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard/111926711889817950

Hope this helps.

I'm Brazilian and here in Brazil there's no well defined culture on what to do with family names. Legally, you can come out with a complete new family name at the moment of marriage, with the only rule that both people should have it.

In my case, my parents already had some long names. Dad 1 2 3 and Mom 4 5. Both me, my sister and my mom end up with 4 5 2 3, I believe because pressure from my grandparents.

By the way, having four family names, like I do, is not very common in Brazil. It is more common to have two, both the last names from the parents, e.g. Dad 1 2 and Mom 3 4 would result in Baby 4 2, with one of the parents optionally taking those names too (traditionally the woman).

Wait, do you guys have friends?

A pair of rollerblades.

I remember sitting with my wife, waiting to get the train back home, holding the bag in my hands. That's when it hit me. I started to cry, loudly.

As @flamingos@ukfli.uk said, there's an API endpoint for that, so third party clients can show it, even if the web interface do not.

I happen to use Boost for Lemmy on my Android and I can see all my upvotes and downvotes on my profile page.

this is what happened to Linus Tech Tips channel: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23654996/linus-tech-tips-channel-hack-session-token-elon-musk-crypto-scam

I feel there are a lot of philosophical and practical similarities between the FediVerse and the open source operating system world. That's why a lot of people tend to be on both.

The thing about the FediVerse is that you are the only responsible for your feed. Try looking for different content, different people, or different instances, to find more content that resonates more with you and follow those accounts and communities.

By the way. There's a mastodon bot called "Inspirational Skeletor" that I find very amusing to follow: https://mas.to/@skeletor
