Wala pa ako mobile internet a long time ago so I’d have to send my tweets to a dedicated Globe number and they will post it. Parang old school telegram, lmao.
I did this for Plurk back in the late 2000's, but not that often since the amount of lag is just incredible (but defensively so). It's a really nifty service back then though, posting through SMS, even if limited to just text.
I didn't even think about the possibility of government censorship, tbh. I was just thinking that creating a PH-centric instance might not be viable, but perhaps an instance to serve South-east Asia might be. I also briefly entertained the mental image of a very salty SEA-centric instance (like the infamous amount of salt present in SEA gaming servers), but that just intensifies the pun in my head.
On a more serious note, yeah. It doesn't have to be hosted here in the Philippines, maybe perhaps Singapore? That still faces the issues of skilled admins (to handle all the technical stuff associated in hosting an instance), as well as the associated expenses (and managing donations).
There's also lemmynsfw for that kind of thing.
French fries for me. Though recently I've started appreciating kamote fries.
I was talking to a friend about the recent issues Lemmy, and lemmy.world in particular is facing.
I suggested that while the scaling issues on the Lemmy software itself is being worked upon, maybe more "bland" country/region instances where people can join is a viable solution....
That I'd love to make an account on lemmy.sea (a Southeast Asian Lemmy instance)
Edited typo(s)
Wouldn't that end up as porn?
Thanks for this tip. I'll keep this in mind the next time I'd literally touch grass (like a camping trip or sth), lol!
If you've got a way to access your user profile via a browser (mobile works too), you can see your saved posts there.
On any page, click/press the hamburger icon on the top-leftmost part of your screen. It'd open up a menu (or an area) where you can see your profile picture and username at the very bottom. There's a triangle next to your username, click/press that.
Another menu/area opens up that has options "Profile", "Settings", and "Logout". Click/press "Profile" to see your user profile.
You're then taken to a different page (which you can directly go to via https://your.lemmy.instance/u/your_username, for example: https://lemmy.world/u/AllGoesUpMustGoDown). There, you can choose between "Overview", "Comments", "Posts" and "Saved." That last link (to your saved posts/comments) won't be visible to others (I tried).
PS: I tried looking for the same in wefwef, but I can't find it as well.
PPS: Weirdly enough, it might be faster to just go directly via the address bar of your (mobile) browser if you know what you're doing, lol!
Edit: Typos and shit. Added PPS part.
Grabe kung maka-Dyson, wagas!
I see, thanks! Suspiciously low kasi yung pasahe sa EDSA bus carousel eh, that's why I was wondering if it's a subsidized fare.
Here's a news story I found that makes me think it's indeed a discounted (subsidized) price: LTFRB eyes discounts instead of 'Libreng Sakay' in EDSA Bus Carousel Kaso ala naman akong makitang news article kung ano nangyari dun sa plano na yan.
Yeah, I suppose it isn't as crazy as I thought people would perceive it to be.
I’ve always used a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music in the shower. It’s much easier and doesn’t require me touching my phone.
Doesn't this damage your Bluetooth speaker? Or is it, and especially its controls, waterproof/water-resistant?
One thing that I think has catapulted the amount of people flocking to lemmy.world is the reputation of the instance as being run by competent people as well as having a very decent uptime especially compared to other large instances at the time of the Reddit blackouts.
People just want to be on an instance that's trustworthy and reliable. Thus, I kind of understand why people just piled onto Lemmy.world. Besides, a lot of them just got redirected to Lemmy.world by well-meaning people who just wanted to keep things simple--simple for the refugees who just wanted simple instructions (without having to choose an instance with everything that entails).
