Cool. I think I'm going to give it a few days in case I deleted someone I didn't want to. If I hear no complaints (I'm pretty sure I'm the only real local user on my instance anyway ๐) I'll delete out the db. Thanks!
I noticed the new logo is a duck. Are ducks, then, allowed here?
I was going to add a photo of some ducks but couldn't find any. I just took this photo of baby swans this afternoon though!
Did you actually delete them or set the deleted column? I'm anxious of leaving dangling references which might cause errors to pop up elsewhere but I'd rather get rid of them completely if that doesn't seem to cause problems.
I also found it wasn't reflected in the user count until I manually manipulated the site_aggregates table. I don't know if that would have caught up eventually.
Hey! I've been caught up in this. Have closed registration for now but what do I do with the created accounts? Unless I'm missing something I can't find the admin tools to deal with users except through their posts (and they haven't posted anything).
Ooh. I like this idea! When I'm at a computer again I'll look into adding a similar sidebar to !manchester@mcr.town
It's great, isn't it? I was having a conversation with someone on here the other day and didn't realise they were on Mastodon. I'd shared the original post there and replies turned up in Lemmy and vice-versa. It's very cool.
The only thing I wish could be improved is the having to manually go back to your home instance and search for a community on another server. It feels even worse than the same process on Mastodon, which already feels clunky.
I can't remember where I found out about it but I think it may have been on Atlas Obscura. Before we moved here my wife and I made a list of places we wanted to visit and this was quite high up!
My wife and I are currently rewatching all of The Good Fight, which is still my favourite thing ever on the telly. We're also rewatching Ranganation, which totally got us through lockdown.
Tunes wise, I'm working through the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die using https://1001albumsgenerator.com/ - today I've got If I Could Only Remember My Name by David Crosby which, if I'm honest, is not doing it for me.
Day off today because US company I work for has given everyone today's US day off!
After a traditional trip to the tip I've got on the tram to wander about random places. First the Viaduct Garden at Castlefield. Now I've ended up at Media City for no good reason other than that's where the tram line goes.
๐ I'm from Torquay originally. Living in Manchester these days, though.
Not so sunny now!
If you're interested in a Manchester based group, btw, I've set one up at !manchester@mcr.town
I live in Manchester, so I have tram lines to contend with. With them you're often going along the lines so it's extra terrifying!

After thinking it through, I don't think it really matters. There's no need for a local instance on Lemmy. I agree a local group would be really great but I don't think there's the critical mass on here needed to help one take off and if it did, it'd be just as good on another instance.
It feels more like the Mastodon server https://mcr.wtf is a much better place to put my energy. Although it's still very small, I'm happy with that because it still gives myself, and other users, a useful to engage with the fediverse and I think there's much more scope for growth there.
