If you’re ever buying your own LEDs, make sure they’re 2700K or less, it makes a huge difference in the temperature of light. The annoying part is that manufacturers ship appliances with god awful lightbulbs which, thanks to unfortunate advances, mean they will never die. A blessing and a curse.

I think this is a strong reminder: We shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket. This will happen again. Unlike Reddit, we don’t need to concentrate all communities on one instance. We should all make an effort to spread out. Some other general use instances are:

• https://lemm.ee
• https://lemmy.one
• https://sh.itjust.works
• https://sopuli.xyz

Again, for those new, you can post content to any of these instances and interact with content from other instances at the same time, just like you can send an email from your Gmail account to your ProtonMail account.

Connect does. Unfortunately it’s all based on polling (asking the server if there are any comments) every so often, instead of being notified immediately. Lemmy doesn’t support sending out notifications (yet?)
