I've been running this community for a while now and want sure how it would plan out. Thank you all for subscribing and posting both beautiful and creepy fae folk art. (Edit: I meant to post a bit more often myself but due to personal issues it's fallen by the wayside a bit)
As a Christmas special, in this thread only, please post photos of your Christmas tree fairies. 🧚

Wipeout for the Plus/4. Wait... what?
Several charging points for electric vehicles at a motorway service station still aren’t hooked up to the power network after connection delays.

I picked this up in a charity shop some time ago and was trying to run it on Windows 95 with no luck. Just happened upon this guide which says it works on Windows 10 - ran through it and played the first couple of easy levels. It does work!
I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I've failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.

A ‘campaign’ has called on the British public to put an end to a ‘worrying’ new trend of forming a single file queue in pubs and instead restore the age-old tradition of queueing at the bar.
So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.
Scenario: a magazine "M" is hosted on kbin. User "A" on an external instance (specifically Lemmy, I'm unsure if this also happens when this external user is also on kbin) posts a thread to magazine M. User "B" on a different external instance cannot see user A's new thread. I have encountered this ...
I did some further testing of federation issues, and have discovered that Kbin (at least Fedia) magazine articles don't federate to remote instances unless they are interacted with on the host instance.
YSK: If you own a magazine on Kbin, make a point of interacting with everything (just an upvote is fine) to ensure it gets pushed out and seen, at least until this is fixed.
(that includes this article, can't see it from Lemmy until it gets interacted with on kbin.social!)
Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it's a similar adventure gamebook system)
Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)
...which I see now are local links with /c/ so not the issue we're discussing here!
Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don't work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.
I think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)
Full URL links to communities appear to open fine - even if the instance isn't aware of that community (hurray! thank you for this, it's ace!) However, links with exclamation marks seem to try to open a user.
I'm going to try putting one in here, but I'm posting from kbin so it might go a bit weird or not exhibit the same problem. !lemmings
The EU is sending firefighting planes to Greece as the country attempts to tackle fires amid the extreme heat.
There are warnings the extreme heat could continue for a further 10 days in parts of Italy.
I strongly suspect it's a timezone bug in kbin. fedia.io is hosted in Germany (I think) which will be GMT+2, which would explain the two hours difference if it isn't converting back to GMT/UTC on the timestamps. Does this happen on kbin.social too? That would help determine if it's a kbin bug or just configuration on fedia.io.
Recordings of my Lemmings music recorded from the MOD files... pure and simple!

Until he stopped and asked if he had come too soon,
I shook my head and turned away" - Tina Dico

Takahē are going to try implementing it too, once Bluesky are ready to federate.
A stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.
I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.
Artifact is an interesting app that learns from your viewing history.
Oooh....
It’s made by the creators of Instagram
Ah, maybe not then.
I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn't happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.

I post about the original Direct Debit website from time to time and get the impression nobody cares. So I thought I'd try you lot! It's the most surreal "corporate" website I've ever seen, a product from the early web when the website was just run by the work experience kid and nobody in management actually understood what it was. It's worth going forward to 1998-ish on web.archive.org too, as it was refreshed a bit then. I fairly recently managed to locate the Man vs Marrow screensaver, maybe I'll post about that some other time.
chris @fedia.io Mastodon: @confusedbunny
Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don't question.
