The URL to get a fully-managed Lemmy server from #SpaceHost is here:

https://spacehost.one/lemmy

LOL 😂

@thelsim

Some people call me by my username (“reiver”) when they meet me in person.

To me, it is as much my name as my given-names are.

…

When I consider signing up for a new platform — if my preferred username isn’t available, I often won’t join.

…

Which never used to be a problem — as it is an obscure English word using its archaic spelling —

But, there are a lot more people on the Internet now, than there were two or more decades ago. So sometimes it gets taken by someone else.

DNA sometimes moves from mitochondria to the cellular nucleus.

This can lead to speciation.

@original_ish_name

I’ll just replace “girlfriend” with “wife” since I am married —

Nothing happens. My wife knows me well. There isn’t anything I think would surprise her.

@HughJanus @Lazycog

Do you recall which Firefish servers you tried (that were having stability problems)?

@cygnus_velum

Yes.

There isn’t much that could make me not want to have kids.

…

I actually already have children. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

Hello from Mastodon.

@nivenkos @Ransom

Ha! 🙂 — I did that too back in the day.

But only to friends, as a joke.

This was back before e-mail spam was a thing.

@hitmyspot @hot_milky

That is what happens on Mastodon now when someone moves their account from one server to another — you get a notification of them following you from the other server.

@pianoplant

Very nice!

Would love to learn more about it.

@dookie

What are about Mastodon, that you like, that Pleroma lacks?

@Bicyclejohn

It depends on what you mean by “replace”.

The Fediverse may cause centralized social-media networks to join the Fediverse.

There are some hints of that happening now.

Facebook / Meta has created a new social-media network that is part of the Fediverse.

Tumblr and Flickr are said to be joining the Fediverse.

So, some “popular social media” may become one with the Fediverse.

@Mango7874 @poVoq

Nothing is “official” on the Fediverse.

Because it is decentralized, no one controls it (and thus nothing can be “official”).

@Mango7874

I’m on the Fediverse, but not on Lemmy.

And I am replying to you.

Welcome to the Fediverse!

@ClaySpears @Bicyclejohn

Welcome to the Fediverse!

@heckler @Veritas

That is interesting.

Are there a lot of hosting providers out there that only support PHP?
