What is the best thing that could happen to you this week?
It already happened on Monday. Found out the surgery was a success, and I'm now cancer free \o/

I had to move the Connect app to the spot RiF used to be in because I didn't realise until it was gone that muscle memory would take me there pretty much every time I was scrolling my phone. I'll miss it a lot, but I have hope that in time a better alternative/Lemmy will take over. They don't deserve to succeed at this point.

Lemmy active users grew by an astounding 1600% in June

Yeah, I think a lot of people waited until the Reddit apps were actually killed before making the switch (myself included).

In the US, there's a good chance you haven't even left your state either

I used to commute Edinburgh - Glasgow, and plenty of others do the same. It's also common for folk to do the trip just for an evening to go to a gig or something (a lot of tours will have their only Scottish date in Glasgow). I think your friends were probably meaning that you'd need more than a day to fully be able to see what Glasgow has to offer? If not, that seems really odd as it's a busy commuter route.

If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users
My vote goes to lemmers.

The prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail length
Reply in thread
Tell me your secrets! I have to keep the nails on my right hand shorter than on my left or I feel like I start making a ton of mistakes because my nail hits the screen awkwardly and pushes my finger back slightly from where I think I'm hitting. Is it just perseverance and adjusting muscle memory?

It happened. Bye bye, RIF!

This is how I'm feeling right now too. I'm hopeful that the userbase will expand quickly though.

Britain's remotest mainland pub The Old Forge reopens after revamp
When I visited I was disappointed to find it closed - this sounds like a perfect excuse to make a return trip!

Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released?
Reply in thread
This is the reason I'm back. Being able to lurk on Reddit scratched the itch just enough that I didn't need an alternative while that worked.

Which beloved artist of your country should I mention with your compatriots to warm up the atmosphere?

Billy Connolly would be a good shout too I think.
