I’m not sure if you will find much sympathy here. Many people (myself included) left Reddit because their policies and ethics now outweigh the benefits of a refined, smooth experience. Although, even that may be gone now if you’re switching from Apollo to the default Reddit app…

The communities here have made any occasional glitches worth it for me.

P.S. you can set your sorting preference under Settings.

The pessimistic Internet user in me knows we are in the honeymoon stage of a wonderful user base.

As a fan of craft beer, I like the taste. It’s like drinking different types of bread.

When I toured Europe, I found the beer was definitely lighter there.

There’s a few of us over at ![email protected]

Literally. People forget that these instances are privately run (just as Reddit is). There is no obligation to the “public good”.

I’m really enjoying the interface! I browse mobile on Chrome. I hope to see lots of people stick around and build some great communities.

Pleasantly surprised that most people are friendly, polite, and positive here - you never know what to expect when you make the switch.

I’m not very tech-savvy so it took a little bit to find my instance, but now it’s been smooth sailing.

Seahawks! Feeling much more optimistic this year… of course, the low expectations is maybe what made last year so fun.

I think any Sens fan will agree with you. Hindsight is 20/20.

Hello from western Canada! I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for creating this instance - feels like a great place to start my Lemmy journey.

Would anyone be able to comment on the tangible effects of the strike? The article just says it could have “damaging effects on the economy” - are we talking shortage of goods or something else? What flows through the BC ports?

I think a lot of new users are coming in and interacting with the first post they see, which is usually the post at the top of the “hot” feed. In turn, this keeps the “hot” posts up longer because of the constant interaction.

I expect it’ll cycle through within the week once the blackout is up.

I was on Apollo and while I support Christian, I’m not sure I can support Reddit anymore.

Following as I’d like to know too!

When it comes to income and taxation, there is a lot more grey than you think.

Technically, ALL income for business-earning purposes should be reported and taxed accordingly.

Regarding taxation of the buyer, at least in Canada, GST is generally not applicable until the seller is earning $30K+.

But REALISTICALLY - no taxation agency really cares about 1 chair.

I probably wouldn’t consider it a black market/underground economy unless it was significant and ongoing. E.g., your neighbours REGULARLY sell chairs for profit and don’t report their earnings.

So frustrating to see city councillors originally voting down the housing affordability recommendations because they included zoning for more duplexes, townhouses, etc. Good heavens - it is not like someone is putting up a pig farm in your backyard.

All in all, very cool to see Calgary getting attention on the international stage.

Commenting as that was one of my favourite subreddits and would love to join a similar community on Lemmy!

I haven’t been able to get out for a hike this weekend, but I’ve started gardening for the first time ever. I’m growing carrots and lettuce in a hand-me-down VegePod! Can you find the sprouts that appeared yesterday?

Matilda is still a joy to read as an adult!

Thanks for posting, this was a great read.

A little sad, but I am not as attached to specific communities online. I’ve seen subreddits rise and fall too, so this just feels like another chance to find something new.
