Yea somehow selling the company off at a massive loss will be his “high IQ business plan” and not what it really is: the result of him committing to a deal, realizing it was a bad idea but then being forced to go through with it so he pretended he did it for “muh freeze peach”. I almost wonder if the reason he’s been pandering to the right is gonna to run for office for something like Governor of Texas and use that as a grift to recoup his losses from his Twitter blunder, though that’s speculation going to conspiracy theory territory.

Sometimes, when they first met Violet did not like Pumpkin at all. Out other cat Midnight had passed soon before and we found Pumpkin around the same time and I think she didn’t like having a new cat “replace” one that had passed, but that ofc wasn’t the intent. We found Pumpkin a bit before Midnight died and he was scared and mewing so loud, he was not more than 4 months old when we found him. We fed him and slowly gained his trust and while at first he was scared of us pretty soon he let us hold him and since it was getting near wintertime and after midnight died we knew we were gonna have to bring Pumpkin inside.

seriously, distributing the load helps a LOT. Though if you can’t spin up your own instance one thing you can do is try and host pictures externally, in !youshouldknow!youshouldknow@lemmy.world a post mentioned how to do it for images in comments since by default it has you upload if you don’t manually put in ![image](link)

Thanks, I couldn’t see all the cute kitties here without sharing mine, that would just be wrong

From what I understand as long as it’s a Federated activitypub based instance like Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy they can communicate between each other but the platforms can have issues presenting the data from other ones in a way that makes sense.

Yea I figured out about the subscribing thing (also hi from my working self hosted instance!), wish someone made a way to have a bot subscribe to communities en masse to populate the instance. Maybe I can learn to code and make it myself 😂

Tbh I have no idea how to use git other than clone 😂, I ended just resetting the VPS and trying UberDuck77’s script and that did the trick. Maybe now I should learn to code so I can make a bot account to mass subscribe to communities to populate my instance

I haven’t really used kbin but I’m wondering if that could bridge the gap since it has features from both.
