The downtime is causing an issue with posting content from other instances - I've seen this a handful of times from kbin. I post something to a lemmy.world community, and kbin thinks it's there, but lemmy.world doesn't see it. But, the delete request seems to need to go through lemmy.world, which doesn't agree that the content exists. So my profile is filled with posts people on kbin can see, but no one else can, and I can't delete them. Is there any kind of catch-up mechanic for instances to try to agree on what content should be present if content was altered during downtime? I can see this becoming a lot more confusing as people look at a community from multiple different instances and see different content, not realizing this is unintended behavior.

The biggest misconception I've seen on Reddit and elsewhere is that you need an account on every single instance if you want to interact with content on that instance, and it's not supposed to be true but while this bug continues, it kind of is true.

All the tools designed to discover different communities seem to disagree on what the subscriber counts and activity levels are. The Worldpolitics bin on lemmy.ml is listed as 2.5K some places, 10K some places, but when you go there it has almost no posts despite being the same size as the News bin on beehaw. It's all very odd, hard to know what to "trust" when it comes to finding new, active bins.

This is the biggest keyboard community in the Fediverse right now (but still very small). You can influence it a lot by just posting what you want to see. Boards you have, questions you have, GBs or whatever.

Is it just me or is Memmy seemingly not grabbing anything newer than ~a day old from almost all sources?

It’s been so cool to watch RCT Discord servers collectively lose their minds over this for the last day lol. Great work dude.

I’m pretty sure I’ve found these on Amazon before. It might be either a newer or older batch though? I’ve also seen clear top with beige housing, once inside a build they should behave identically. I understand if you’d rather not buy from Amazon though.

KBD67 Lite is super light and has a Bluetooth variant, if you can live with a 65%.

I stole half of them by accident without realizing she was in any way connected to the House of Hope, hours earlier. But I never found any letter or anything saying how to use them.

it seems you can see content posted on other instances but you can’t reply unless you have an account on that instance.

That's not entirely true (at least it's not how it's supposed to work). For instance all my other posts in this thread and my recent post about TGT R1 on NewElement were from my kbin.social account. My kbin.social account is also able to be added as a moderator of this community, even though it's hosted on lemmy.world. That's the benefit of all the back-end tools being shared. HOWEVER there do seem to be a couple caveats.

If communities A and B are "defederated", basically unlinked, then someone on instance A can post to instance B, but content isn't currently being synced so someone on instance B won't see it (but someone on instance A would). This can be pretty confusing and I think there needs to be a better way to tell you when an instance is defederated or disallow posting entirely if it thinks it's defederated to prevent this confusion.

What I also think might be happening is temporarily certain servers can't communicate, and there is no mechanism to "catch up" when posts are missed. For instance I can't see this single comment on kbin for whatever reason, but I do see it on lemmy.world and I can see the rest of the thread on both... there may have been some kind of technical hiccup. The tools to scan and copy missed posts and ensure things are current and stable appear to be missing or still in development. I have faith it will get better, as there are now a LOT of people working on it, and as people like us run in to issues it's being raised faster.

sopuli.xyz/c/rct is actually a totally separate community. I made that one first when early on it looked like sopuli.xyz might be taking off. I don't think sopuli.xyz is defederated from anyone and yet nothing over there shows up for me anywhere else. I don't even see that rct instance when I search here. I think this is some kind of technical or server side issue on sopuli's end and the communities that started cropping up there largely seem to have flocked instead to lemmy.world or kbin.social. Again note that as long as servers are federated, you can post to any of these with an account made on any of them.

if this particular instance goes down the community would cease to exist.

This is sort of true and sort of not from what I can tell. Every server that has federated with lemmy.world, and where at least one user has browsed to the federated community (in this case ![email protected]) should have a full copy of the community. It may not always be current pending some technical nonsense that still seems to need to get worked out, but it's better than nothing.

To my recollection making posts was never locked behind a paywall - I used Apollo for most of its lifespan without paying for it, but did get Apollo Ultra eventually for notifications.

Apparently I had Pro + Ultra, I don't remember how long I had each for. Oh well. I really hope one of the big 3rd party app developers for Reddit turns an eye to Lemmy (or kbin) - this space has real potential and a well-designed app could smooth over some of the current weirdness about discovering other communities in other servers, but the apps are pretty rough.

Love how my Nakaya looks. Hate how it writes. 😕

Compatibility is kind of king. People want something that will work with the zillions of boards and keycap sets already out there. I’d be happy to give Topre a try but only being available on a handful of very-expensive-but-very-cheap-looking prebuilt boards is a huge turn-off.

Besides, Cherry is really just the stem. There’s already a near infinite variety of weight, bump style, material combo out there.

I have these! These are the Happy Balls PBT caps off Amazon or something right? They're fine considering they're super cheap, only really make sense with a backlit keyboard though. Your keyboard is black so pretty much anything will go with it. Are you looking for any particular colors?

You can usually remap any key to any other key (or combination of keys) with decent custom boards. Either they support QMK/VIA or have some in-house proprietary software that does the same. Certain layouts lend themselves to this custom remapping better than others, like 75s and 65s usually have a couple keys that you can make whatever you want - there's no standard.

That’s brutal. The gauntlets and the amulet in the archive and the armor on Raphael are three of the absolute best pieces of gear in the game.

The idea of what content is "normal" at this point is the wrong way to look at it. The content feed is so slow across all but the most active communities on the most active instances, that treating them as though they've already carved out their niches is just incorrect.

This can be that, there's no reason it can't - it's just the tiny number of posts you're seeing don't have the same representation you might be used to seeing on e.g. /r/mechanicalkeyboards.

If you're just going to lurk and have no interest in posting you might as well just go to instagram and search for keyboard related tags. The content you post doesn't even need to be your own boards, it could just be stuff you like.
