Yes, I wish there would be more. But I am okay with the state it's in. The engagement is good enough, and I discover interesting things every other day. You can't force it anyway.

That's cool. What was your latest find?
We are going for board games all the time. My son is six and he loves them

A robot set for children. The robot is called Dash. It can be programmed with a tablet or laptop using special apps with a neat UI. We had one for two weeks and it was a lot of fun.

While I agree with the article and a lot of comments, I am still active on my Mastodon account and I am enjoying it more than ever.
Disclaimer: I'm a white male westerner working in IT. 😉
A friend of mine works in linguistics and education. He was an avid Twitter user and has since migrated to Bluesky and Mastodon. He says, Mastodon is quite complex and clunky but on Bluesky there's not much happening in his bubble.
For me, the quality of the conversation and the regional character of my local instance is a big plus on Madison. On Lemmy, I read a lot on international and tech topics, but on Mastodon, the conversation is related more to my countries politics and my region.
So, maybe they lost a lot of users. But the 14% that stayed are a good start for quite a vivid community.
If anyone has questions on how to get something out of Mastodon, ask away or follow me here: mateng@nrw.social.

I use "Self Destructing Cookies" in addition to uBlock, so I can be relatively generous with exceptions as I know cookies will be deleted when I close the browser or after a defined period anyway.

Nima Rinji Sherpa, 18, climbed each peak with his climbing partner, Pasang Nurbu Sherpa.
Standing atop Mount Shishapangma on Wednesday morning, though, another life ambition was front of mind for the 18-year-old: to subvert the stereotype of Sherpas as mere helpers who assist foreign climbers on their ascents.
Although the word 'Sherpa' is commonly used to describe someone who is a mountain guide or porter working in the Everest area, it is in fact the name of an ethnic group of people who live in the mountains of Nepal.
This is the uplifting part here for me 👍

Working on an IT project, too. A website relaunch for a local waste disposal company. We are running behind with coding, but so is the customer with adding content. But it's gonna be a nice, beautiful site with lots of api connections and nifty tools for the end customer. It's fun for me.

"I woke up and saw this new antivirus system on my desktop and I tried opening kaspersky but it was gone. So I had to look up what happened because I was literally having a mini heart attack that my desktop somehow had a virus which uninstalled kaspersky somehow," one user said.
To make things worse, while some users could uninstall UltraAV using the software’s uninstaller, those who tried removing it using uninstall apps saw it reinstalled after a reboot, causing further concerns about a potential malware infection.
Oh my!

To be honest, although it was dumb, it was also unfortunate. There is no way we will get a hold on viral fake news because there will always be that one unlucky or stupid bastard posting something silly.
Don't eat the pets, people!

Why is that so? Have the sanctions run out or do we get russian gas from third parties?

Yes, using "Soy Boy" in a political speech as a moniker for the liberal male youth is pathetic. This should be a major red flag for all voters.

He's the real Trump Jr.
I'd like to see a button that hides a post from my timeline and fills up the slot with the next interesting thing. Well, yes, just like Reddits *hide post* feature.
I had my subreddits neatly organized into different categories with several multis. Is there a feature (planned) in Lemmy that can recreate this?
I activated desktop notifications in my settings: Settings > Show Notifications for New Posts. They appear as a bubble in MacOs, but I can't do anything with them. There is no link that opens. Can I do something about that?
I'm trying to search for communities or keywords like on the Lemmy browser version. I'm probably just missing something.
