  • Looks like there are a bunch in the instances list. How it works, from my understanding, is that someone has to search for a comm and/or subscribe before the content actually syncs. I ended up subbing to all the hexbear comms so they show up on Mander but I’m the only one subbed to most of them.

    Unfortunately, someone in the home instance has to find and interact first.

    There’s also a bot that some instances run which automatically subs to all linked comms so they are searchable from within a home instance but not many run it.


  • Blåhaj zone defeded early from hexbear before federation was possible. The admin had a change of heart or something before it was turned on. The two biggest trans-supportive instances not being linked would be disappointing. Seems like specifically choosing to fed and turning off a block makes it more likely to not be turned off again as the struggle has been worked out.




  • KDE Plasma is great!
    Feel free to keep on trucking with your setup. I’ve been using a different solution for discord streaming and wanted to share in case it sounds helpful for you. It’s been an improvement for me. Your mileage may vary.

    Do not use your main account, make another one only for streaming with audio. Works with x11 and Wayland has more features. It’s a slight annoyance to have to connect to a discord chat with a second account but this works really well for streaming. TOS is sustained with main account and you actually get working audio/video streaming with a second account that won’t get banned (been doing this for years) but even if it does it won’t matter because it’s only used for streaming.

    Just another option, feel free to disregard if it’s not right for you.















  • Particles are going to settle at roughly the same rate either orientation.

    • Vertical storage will stack higher and have a greater distance to opening on top, causing the not mixed well enough issue.
    • Horizontal storage more evenly distributes the mix for a more similar pour upon reorientation.
    • Flat on it’s face would distributor even closer to even mix, but that way lies madness and is not optimal for pantry storage. [Maybe flat on top of fridge might work?]

    So the spectrum will be the same at any orientation except the effect will be more or less pronounced. With flat storage leading to the least granular separation while also being inconvenient to practically store.
