oh wow this all feels kind of weird! I feel like i'm in another dimension or something.
I'm at work and forgot to bring in my noise cancelling headphones. The TV is on and its constant Trump rally "news". 😞
Please don't take this the wrong way, but were you trained in the arcane arts of typewriting? The only time I've seen anyone do double spaces after a punctuation was when dad taught me how to use the typewriter as a kid.
is it still hump day?
Just means this week is a Bactrian 🐫 instead of a Dromedary 🐪
Well, I'm here... Didn't know if it would be the same but after having a look, it does feel a bit like home. I promise that I'll try be on my best behaviour, but like in the old times, if I act up please don't be afraid to put me in my place. I'm not the brightest, but with the DT here, I think I can continue to grow.
I received one of my TAFE assignments back marked. All correct, no need to resubmit🎉
Just one more to get back and I can declare myself TAFE free until term 3.
Man I hope the jerboa devs are working feverishly to polish this app up. This could be a pretty painless transition if they get a move on.
Remembering preferences, like that I want my "front page" to be Subscribed and trending rather than active, not Local Active.. that and sorting by new are probably the big ones. If they can eventually get it anywhere near the Boost/baconreader experience that'd be incredible.
Getting people's heads around instances will be tricky but if people are looking for a specific place and are directed to it, that should be ok.
So how many of you came from reddit
Me! This seems like the best alternative, and nice to see lots of familiar usernames.
me
Yep, me too
what a low budget layout this all is haha... oh well. It's all we've got now apparently !!
Hola Friends,
I am the real MissDarylC but someone is impersonating me??? Hence the extra S.
So happy to see so many familiar faces here.
Great to see how active we were today.
Arrrggh it's cold and work sucks and everything is expensive - am I doing this right? :D Also - hi DT peeps!
I hope the ones that blocked me on r/melbourne don't come over and do the same here. Also can you swear on here? Everyone seems very well mannered on here so far.
I reinstalled Reddit earlier today, and I'm very sad to see the news about the DT. I haven't been there as long as some of you, but I have been around long enough for it to feel like my little internet home. It's very upsetting to see all of the conversations and memories from the sub just gone, potentially forever.
The silver lining, I guess, is that r/Melbourne was almost the only reason I even use reddit, so I guess I can get rid of it now.
I hope everyone will be sticking around, I guess this will be my new home now.
(also, I'm still getting the hang of this fediverse and instance stuff, [email protected] is also me, but Jebora doesn't seem to have a way of logging into aussie.zone, so sh.itjust.works is my home instance for now)
Hi everyone who's joined this morning!!! Anyone know if there are good apps for this?
I have so much laundry to fold, and so many veggies to roast
Hello world! Super relieved to see how active the new daily thread is, here's to many a daily thread to come!
