It was originally ROYGB and the rest.

I have no idea what this is about, but after reading a bunch of the comments, I’m really excited about it! Now I know how dogs feel when they don’t understand anything, but their people are all excited, so they’re excited too.

I hate the way they handle images. I was browsing kbin on my phone, and they show images 3 or 4 times as wide as tall. They put a tiny little thumbnail of the original image that fits in there, on a background of a blurred version of a strip of the image. It looks awful, and you can’t even click on it to see the image. You click once and it takes you to the thread, and you need to click a second time to see the image. Then back a couple times to get back to where you were.

tl/dr, kbin had me first, and I left because I didn’t like the UI.

A mini keg of a Christmas beer. At the store after drinking a bit, thinking “Oh it’s a little cheaper per ounce, lol”. My wife rolled her eyes, but she lets me do stupid things. Next day I was thinking “Well that was stupid.” But it was a few days before Thanksgiving, and we opened it then, and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Draft beer, at home! Fiddling with the stupid pour thing. It was just fun to have something different.

Attaching a soda bottle to the office lamp in a way that is easy to undo while still pissing off HR.

Yeah, not really grokking this one.

It was so hard to find and join this place, I think I’ll hang for a while. I lurked on Kbin for a bit, but I hate the way they show images, especially on mobile browsers. I tried Mastadon first, but that was even more confusing.

Still not sure of lemmy Vs. Fediverse Vs. Threadiverse, whether the instance I joined is best for me, or if it even matters. On Reddit it was easy to lurk, then only one way to join, and easy to figure out. If someone figures out how to simplify using and joining their instance or universe or whatever, they have an opportunity to come out on top.

For me it was just getting in first so I didn’t have to add numbers.
