So weird, since "they/them" have always been used to refer to people who's gender/sex is not known!?

Are you using LW without a logged in Firefox account?

Just a newbie saying hello and asking some questions about instances, federation and communities (beehaw.org)
 

Good day! First post πŸ₯‡ Hello, thanks for having me, people of beehaw.org πŸ˜„

What a cool idea, to have a social media site organised like this ––– I love it!! I've been without the algorithm (IG, FB, X, etc...) for quite a while now, and I think the Lemmyverse will be much fun to explore πŸ”. I write explore, because the other week I was watching TechnologyConnections new video on the ~ 𝚊 πš• 𝚐 𝚘 πš› πš’ 𝚝 πš‘ πš– ~ where he was talking about how many users are feeling more and more alienated by it, wishing for a more self-curated experience. I couldn't have agreed more, and then I remembered Lemmy from an old MentalOutlaw video, back when Reddit turned πŸ’© for good (I was never a user).

Anyway, I just have a couple of questions, which I hope, I am posing in the right comm... πŸ₯΄

  • I want to post to Hexbear's DIY community – as far as I can tell, it's the biggest one by far. However, Hexbear is not federated with Beehaw. That means, I'd have to create a seperate account for Hexbear. Correct?
  • Do you 🫡 make an account for every instance that you're interested in, which is not federated with Beehaw?
  • Is there a way to see which instances are federated with Beehaw? The /search/ page is helpful, but I have to search manually, whereas I'd like an overview type of thing.
  • Do you use an app on Android? I like Thunder, you?

I hope I did okay for my first post πŸ˜„
Much love and thanks in advance,

A.

Will the changes in the privacy policy not affect LibreWolf users, who are logged in to their Firefox account on LW? πŸ€”

My week was pretty good, thank you for asking! On Monday, I went to group therapy for the first time. I liked it, but let's see how things progress. Watched the new Bridget Jones film in the evening. Wednesday, I went to our local modern art museum with my fiancΓ©e. I watched the new White Lotus and the new Paddington. Thursday, breakfast at the cafΓ© I work at, later studying. Five-hour, homemade chicken soup made by my dearest for dinner. On Friday, my fiancΓ©e and I went for a visit to the local government, in order to submit all the necessary paperwork for our upcoming civil partnership (marriage lite). We got a date: July 19th! Friends came over in the evening to watch Irma Vep (1996).

First post on here! Thank you for having me :)
