I'd love to have one of these but they're not made anymore. Anyone still making / selling them?

I usually mount encoders by just gluing them in place. JB weld works great. But I got this low profile one from beekeeb and if you put glue on the bottom it will stop it from rotating. I'm trying to think of other strategies. Right now I'm working on a way to somehow mount it to the bottom half of a choc switch and then glue the switch to the pcb, but still don't have a good way to do it.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not trying to mount this in a pcb designed for an encoder. I'm putting it in place of a typical switch on a pcb. In the past I've just used JB weld on the bottom of an EC11 to hold it in place and it worked great. The issue with this one is that the bottom is open, so if I use any kind of glue to mount it the glue will also prevent the encoder from rotating.

The decision was made to blow up the Reddit community and come here, so we have to make this work. But I'm already seeing a bunch of issues with Lemmy. Posting this so hopefully we can find solutions. Issues:

• Search-ability: I can't find people. When I search for users it simply doesn't work. Edit: Also apparently a client thing. Sucks though that if you choose the wrong client whole features just aren't supported.
• Messages: Pretty bare bones interface. I guess it's good enough to send you discord so you can have a conversation there.
• Replies: Looks like you can only reply to posts and not other replies 🤦‍♂️...so much for tractable conversations. This is my single biggest complaint about Mastodon - it's almost impossible to follow a single conversation. Really hope this will be addressed. Edit: looks like this was a client thing. Phew!
• Updates: I just tried to login on a different client but couldn't because the instance I'm on isn't up to date enough with the minimum support version.
• Clients: I've tried Thunder and attempting Jerboa (can't yet for the above reason), any other better ones?

I hope these are all fixable. The replies thing is pretty terrible.

Just so this isn't an entirely downer post, here's what I'm liking about Lemmy:

• Ad free: 🎉 Love love love this.
• Open source: Look, open source projects can be a little janky. But open source feels like a part of the DNA of this community, so I'm always happy to see everyone using FOSS.
• Community support: No matter what the interface, the people make the community, and it's been pretty cool to see everyone just keep posting and carrying on over here. Like, it's been a pretty smooth transition so far.

I really love what Ben Vallack has done with the piano (featured in this video if you haven't seen it). But I'm terrified of trying to learn such a small layout.

I think my ideal would be similarly just 2 thumbs on each side, and instead of 1222 like the piano, I'd want 23332. Anything like this out there?

I guess I have to try this site now, so what are people using for Android? Any good apps?
