they quadrupled in size since this new reddit debacle

unlike on here you can’t create custom communities over there, the mods create all the communities

I think there will be a lot of decent content to read but it’s a problematic instance, less extreme as lemmy.ml though:

Being explicitly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or bigoted in any other fashion is not tolerated here.

lol

“What is Beehaw”: https://beehaw.org/post/107014

honestly I’ve come to in a way not like public libraries; I’d like to see them privatized, would like to see “intellectual property” go away, and would like to see a lot of stuff digitized (which would remove the need for me to go to the library, or as much)

I tried to explain this to wiggle although I may have made some errors the first time

you can create an account on either site. you have one here on exploding heads. when you post on communities here like exploding-heads.com/c/Audio it just shows up as @Lovstuhagen

if you were to go to exploding-heads.com/c/Music@beehaw.org for example, and post there, your user would show up as @Lovstuhagen@exploding-heads.com when they see it from beehaw.org/c/Music, and just @Lovstuhagen when you go to exploding-heads.com/c/Music@beehaw.org; our instance makes like copies of their posts I think, which we can post on on our instance, but then which also gets posted back over there

You could also make a @Lovstuhagen account over on beehaw, and when you post over there logged in it would show up as @Lovstuhagen.

if you had a @Lovstuhagen account on beehaw, and went to beehaw.org/c/Audio@exploding-heads.com, and then commented, your user would show up as @Lovstuhagen@beehaw.org when viewed from exploding-heads.com/c/Audio, and just @Lovstuhagen when viewed on beehaw.org/c/Audio@exploding-heads.com.

How would we, say, log in to dony.social and have it so all our posts were from this original account over here at Ex-Heads?

I don’t think that instance allows it (yet), but in order to do that, it would look something like exploding-heads.com/c/main@donky.social (where you change “main” to community names)… it would display a community that was copied to explodingheads, and you comment on those pages and it will show up with your comment as @Lovstuhagen@exploding-heads.com

edit: fixed an error and tried to elaborate on the point more

lol yeah… I think I might crosspost there but I’ll see what happens

so far kind of odd responses and takes, but it could be good now and then for something a little different that we are still connected to

I don’t think arson is a reasonable hypothesis

so, it could just be multiple people spread out? I’m not saying this is the case, however I guess other people have been speculating about this:

The raging wildfires in Alberta in the run-up to the Canadian province’s election have fueled claims across social media that the blazes were set intentionally to disrupt the voting process or for other political purposes

any evidence arson is involved

tfw no gf

4 u

to log in at beehaw you need an account

but you can post from here, sorry I may have mixed up last message, try like exploding-heads.vom/c/music@beehaw.org . it is .org instead of .com. if you comment from here it will come up as @wigglehard@exploding-heads.com as a user. if u register over there and comment logged in over there it will just @wigglehard. if you go to like beehaw.org/c/freeforum@exploding-heads.com while logged in over there and comment, if they federate with us, then you’ll show up as @wigglehard@beehaw.org

In the future I will make the instance open

are you still considering this? would be funny to post on a “donky farm” lol

I just want smartphone VR, not planning to buy a dedicated headset, just want to make use of what already exists and have wanted to try doing a VR desktop for a while using a phone

apparently there are problems with smartphone VR… but I presume them to be surmountable and that they’re just trying to sell unnecessary VR hardware instead as a kind of gimmicky business move

that’s a top spot, not sure where else but there’s probably other places as well

we could also just try to post more to beehaw federated posts or other popular instances that are getting people that we federate with and maybe they’ll join conversations over here or come over

beehaw.org

so if you click the all button at the top on exploding heads it should show some posts from there

or for example you can see communities from exploding heads on something like exploding-heads.com/c/music@beehaw.com (and change music to some other community)

so if we post there it shows up as @wigglehard@exploding-heads.com whenever a post or comment is made, so people see the instance mentioned in the username in a way

I gotchu, I thought of another thing, that we can just comment in federated posts like from beehaw and people will see exploding-heads exists

nothing because I don’t like apple tbh

ambient country sounds interesting, thx for sharing the concept

I pass on apple stuff but I’ve kind of wanted to make a DIY AR setup like with this project: https://www.instructables.com/CheApR-Open-Source-Augmented-Reality-Smart-Glasses/

so what’s our strategy?

1. hopefully kapow can figure out the update to 0.17 so we get back on the instance list

2. post somehow around subreddits that EH exists

3. post on other social media that EH exists?

any other thoughts?

edit: 4. participate in federated conversations

same lemmy dev has said this elsewhere so I think it’s legit

well, I think we’d re-join the instance list, but would still be blocked from lemmy.ml

so posts won’t federate, because of the block, but the reddit refugees looking at the instance list might try out this site if they see it, since the link has been posted on reddit in some places: https://join-lemmy.org/instances

we can post around leddit as well to catch people
