A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

Might as well call it Kilmister too.
Well done!
Well that’s me switched over to Heliboard. I’ve auditioned a few but that hits the sweet-spot. I don’t seem to be getting next word suggestions yet though.
edit: the suggestions are starting to kick in now.
4·1 year ago- lemmy.world showing Lemmy’s vulnerabilities (ddos, security, etc.).

- I’m now very hesitant to trust any 3rd party. I’d have to trust that the Lemmy instance I choose won’t do the same thing reddit did to me.
That seems an argument not to start your communities on lemmy.world. And…
There was another thread where people were discussing the need for attracting more niche communities & content creators to Lemmy. Well you’re not going to attract them like that.
L.W isn’t Lemmy. In fact, Lemmy isn’t the threadiverse.
I’m still familiarizing myself with Lemmy and the fediverse. It’s a bit complex.
It’s not that difficult once you get stuck in. I did struggle to get my head around everything when I signed up to Mastodon and just let me account go dormant. However, jumping into Lemmy was a lot easier and the whole Fediverse idea clicked quite quickly. I am now on Calckey, which works better for me, but I may have to conclude I am more of a forum guy than a microblogging one but perhaps I’ll warm to it.
If you have any questions just ask - I’m sure someone can help. However, you don’t really need your own instance, you could just start a community on a friendly instance - it is also the best way to learn.
Yeah, this has been one of the suggested uses of attaching wikis to communities and would mean you wouldn’t just be dumping a lot of posts into the community but would have an archive of useful posts, whether from here, Reddit or elsewhere.
I’ve set up and run many forums over the years (going back into the ancient history of the Web) and, if I was going to start a forum today I’d likely spin up a Lemmy instance. If someone else was asking about starting one I’d want to talk through their requirements but would definitely have Lemmy in the list of options.
It’s here:
Quillpad is open source and pretty much identical to Google Keep - you can use Nextcloud to sync across devices.
All I really want is a way to import my lists, my many many lists.
Unfortunately, the fragmented nature of the Fediverse makes it difficult to build these kind of teams, as the mods have to be users on the same instance
No they don’t. As long as the instances are federated then you can moderate a community on another instance. I’ve set up communities on my home instance for other people to mod and I mod a few lemmy.world ones.
I use Calibre.
