I'm an Australian woman, based in Meanjin / Brisbane, but in love with Argentina. In a previous life, I was a Trans activist, runner, and RollerDerby player. Now that we are all "post" covid, I feel like I'm still somehow finding my feet, and working out what I want to keep from my old life, and what I want to add to it! I have the feeling I will never get a final answer :)
I'm an admin on blahaj.zone, a Hajkey based instance for queer and gender diverse folk and other friends of Blahaj!

I can also be found on lemmy at @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone and on matrix at ada:chat.blahaj.zone

@ripartbell@lemmy.world In a pub trivia competition thing that asked people about things they've done in their lives, or things they want to do, I won the "white sheep" award, which means my answers were the most average of everyone present
@threegnomes@lemmy.blahaj.zone Oops, that was my fault. I'll fix it up again
@Erikatharsis@kbin.social @ReepusVanguard@lemmy.dbzer0.com
This has been fixed now! There was an error importing an emoji that took the site down right after we went to bed.
@VoltasPistol@lemmy.blahaj.zone How long is the name of the sub you're trying to create? Is it longer than 20 characters?
@toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone It wasn't an oversight as such, more that I am naïve to the politics involved. In my mind, as long as they weren't attacking queer rights, then it wasn't a priority for me.
However, prompted by several requests, I've done a bit of a deep dive to bring myself up to speed, and have made the choice to defederate lemmygrad.
@jdp23 So, with Lemmy specifically (I'm not sure about kbin yet, as I haven't tested it), you just tag the community, and it posts directly to the community.
The only real consideration is that lemmy expects a subject line, so if you're posting from software that doesn't use a subject line, it will use the first sentence of your post as the subject instead. Which is why my post began with a snappy single line sentence :)
Lemmy growth is crazy!
Lemmy growth is crazy!
Blahaj zone (the Calckey instance) has been running for around 6 months now. We've had a slow but constant growth of new members, with a big spike when Calckey drew a lot of attention. And as a result, even though we're not a huge instance, we are one of the larger Calckey derived instances around.
lemmy.blahaj.zone on the other hand has seen crazy growth! In the last week, our lemmy instance has gone from almost no members, to nearly as many users as our Calckey instance. The mind blowing part though, is that the lemmy instance isn't even close to being one of the largest lemmy instances. We don't even appear on the first page of Fediverse Observer! And the sheer number of lemmy instances online now is huge compared to where it was a couple of weeks ago.
And that's before we even talk about kbin and the threadiverse as a whole, of which Lemmy is only a part
I can honestly say that this whole thing has shifted my view of just what the future of the
