I love their cinnamon rolls. Hope you have better luck next time around.

Yeah, I imagine that's the equilibrium that the Lemmy Fediverse kind of lands on. At least for subs with more technical mods. I do wonder if this is sufficiently complex that Lemmy, and the Fediverse, in general, stays fairly niche as most users won't consider that super amazing user experience. But, to me, that's kind of the interesting and fun part -- what happens next in the Fediverse experiment.

One read on this may be that lemmy.world may not be the best instance upon which to host !austin (i.e. if, for whatever reason, they're not able to maintain federation with other instances).

Another thought is if you really want control over your "home" instance's federation you could host your own instance and call all the shots. I've been considering doing this but mostly out of curiosity. Admittedly you would probably want to be fairly technical for this to be a viable solution.

It also looks like the Lemmy devs have been considering the possibility of implementing profile migration between instances, which could be interesting.

All of that said, I'd be curious to know the specific reasoning given by your last instance on why they decided to defederate. I don't want to sound accusatory or jump to conclusions but this kind of post strikes me as... FUD.

The hottest coolest time in Texas, in a literal sense.

Frosty margs and a skillet of queso is a state of mind.

That may require another Donk Contest.

 

Satisfying.

Probably the serial killer or something.

The intro to one of the greatest kids shows of the 90s. It's the song "Hey Sandy" by the band Polaris.

That was the hit of nostalgia I didn't know I needed!

I hope Baller has found a big bag of discarded french fries in an HEB parking lot and is doing alright.

Wes Anderson has a new movie coming out soon. It looks pretty good (unless you don't like Wes Anderson movies).
