Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.
Proud multicrafter, making cool stuff and all over the Fediverse like a rash. Find my various stuff at https://linksta.cc/@thegiddystitcher

Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.
It’s been common for a lot longer than that in the UK, we’re very lazy :D
Yeah I’m trying to remember how we used to do it (the last time I went through a normal checkout with a full shop was probably 10 years ago) and this seems right.
Gotta have the heavy stuff handy so you can put it straight into the bottom of the bags. Anything else is wasting time!
Alas, not really! I have a cheap shuttle and am still trying to get the hang of “the flip” but I’ll get it eventually. I did manage a sort of wonky snowflake but that’s about it so far. Trouble is, as you know, all the other hobbies getting in the way 😄
Currently working on cross stitching a dragon from the Discworld books, knitting some crazy speckly socks and a shawl that is way behind where it needs to be to be finished on time, and planning various sewing projects. RIP my free time.
Just left another comment with links to some of the more active craft communities on here, we’d love to see what you’re working on if you ever want to share!
We do a lot of hanging out and gossiping on fedi tbf. Mastodon is really big on crafts, and on Lemmy we have places like !knitting@lemmy.world, !crochet@lemmy.ca, !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works, !sewing@lemmy.world etc for specific crafts.
For the crafts a bit too niche to have their own active community, !imadethis@lemm.ee loves to see completed projects!
Gonna tag @DharmaCurious@startrek.website and @OftenWrong@startrek.website too because I feel like a lot of folks don’t realise how much craft stuff we have on here!
I’ve taught a few people to crochet and all it really takes is patience, and and accepting that you’re going to feel like you’ve somehow got both too many and also not enough hands for the first little while. There’s no shortage of tutorials online so it’s just a question of finding a beginner one that clicks with you and going from there.
And if you get stuck, need to ask newbie questions, or just want to show off the first few wonky rows of stitches you make to people who will understand what an achievement it is, !crochet@lemmy.ca is the community for you!
I immediately thought of tatting just because it’s kind of interesting that you can do it two such different ways with such different tools, and also because using a shuttle looks like actual witchcraft.
That’s my main concern. Seeing content from other platforms in my Mastodon feed is pretty great right now (Lemmy, PeerTube etc). But hashtag feeds could quickly get overrun by something like this if it works the same way.
That said, making this its own thing instead of building a “reels” for Pixelfed suggests the dev already knows separation will be important, so 🤞
This is definitely a cool but very niche feature that I and nerds like me would use, but the vast majority of normal* folk never would. So for that reason it’s probably not going to be any kind of priority to add. But hey, in the meantime, we’ve always got footnotes!
* “normal” by Lemming standards, anyway
For anyone who enjoys seeing how the sausage is made, OP also has some devlogs up on YouTube, I’ve been following for a little while. https://youtube.com/@PaahtimoGames
Congrats on the release!
Ohhhh! Ok I getcha, I read it as being songs by Lemmy users, that was just my brain filling in the blanks I think. Yeah, completely different thing, ignore me 😅
Any affiliation with FediVision or is this a whole separate contest? If so you might need rules about whether people can submit songs to both!
I’m in for following this either way though, Eurovision fiend that I am.
Cool, welcome! I have two channels on there and the admin has always been great about updating the software and answering any queries etc, but feel free to DM me if you’ve got any general questions from the “creator” side as I’ve done a fair few experiments on how things work there.
Hey, bit late to this discussion (found it while searching for something) but since you seemed interested in a casual user’s pov:
I’m a member of quite a few Lemmy communities that are really small, and I’m very active on Mastodon. So having those small communities in a list feed on Mastodon is really handy since I don’t miss anything and can just jump in with a reply on stuff without switching over to Lemmy.
I also post a lot of the same type of stuff to both platforms and sometimes it makes sense to keep that separate, but sometimes with niche interests it’s nice to be able to cross-post and get both groups of people chatting together in the comments.
Of course this is a moot point because federation between my Masto instance and Lemmy is currently broken, but it was really great before and I miss it a ton.
You might have already seen and discarded it but makertube.net has a fair few retro computing channels.
That’s definitely the way to go for now. PT is pretty ok software from the creator pov but it’s atrocious as someone just looking to view! We’ll see how things develop, maybe that changes at some point.
I think it’s just a misunderstanding. With most other Fedi software, servers federate via the users themselves following content from other servers and then the admins have control over whether to sever that connection by defederating. With PeerTube it doesn’t work that way, federation is controlled by the admin of each server in the first place and they tend to keep the list quite short (on a particular theme, or just servers by other admins they trust, or whatever).
I expect the fundamental reasons for that are the expense of hosting video content and also the risk of extremely NSFL material if you throw the doors open by default. It definitely results in a lot of behaviours that seem very strange if you’re used to the usual fedi way of doing things.
Joined group, still can’t get in on the Play link but I’ve made a note to check back and see if it’s updated tomorrow. What a faff!
Update: store link now works for group members.
Happy to help with the play store test if you decide to try and get the 20 🫡
Is your channel going to be on a particular theme or anything?
