I made it about 12 years or so on Reddit. There are days where I do miss the place, but Kbin and Tumblr have been quite adequate replacements, I find.

I also feel like both sites are much friendlier as a general rule.

Nope, they've always been that way, no training required. My husband can go to bed at 4am and will still wake up when the sun comes out.

If left to my own devices, I run on about a 28 hour day and will eventually go fully nocturnal. That said, I have trained myself to go to bed at 2 and wake up at 10. But if I try to go to bed at 9pm so I can wake up at 5am, all that will happen is that I toss and turn until 2 am, then wake up at 5. No amount of training will fix that. I averaged 4 hours of sleep per night back when I was in school, simply because I could not go to sleep that early.

So while training is absolutely possible, I think you're underestimating the power of the natural circadian rhythm and how people react to it.

@Jamixthedestroyer My husband and stepmom are that way. Sun's out, and they're up and chipper. Meanwhile, I don't even begin to feel tired until around 2am, and the mornings are just a bright, miserable blur.

@surrendertogravity Seaford was my favorite of the group, too. It feels like it has a bit more weight, like it's more "official" or something.

Hopefully they'll include it as a choice as well, even if it's not the "default".

@leo I feel like some of the other suggested fonts were a bit stronger contenders than Bierstadt, though admittedly the name is awesome.

I'll miss you, Calibri!

@fishsticks Yeah, I probably just borked something on my end. I wouldn't be surprised.

@nocturne213 This is perfect, thank you!

@Hildegarde Hmmm, that's interesting. I've never come across someone using this same username, but I do suppose it's possible.

The issue is that it's saying that my email address already exists in the system, not necessarily the username itself.

It sounds like I'm going to be looking into other instances though, so hopefully it'll all be moot soon!

Thanks for replying, and I'll definitely do a search for the username out there!

@Chais lemmy.world. As I can see from everyone, that seems to be the culprit. Any suggestions for alternatives?

Thanks!

@Wander Yeah, lemmy.world. I'm still very new to the fediverse / haven't played with it much, so I'm still finding all these lovely, obvious pitfalls.

Any suggestions for alternatives to lemmy.world?

Thanks for replying!

@MrJukes It never got far enough to suggest checking for email verification, unfortunately. It just kept trying to send it through to no avail.

I'll keep an eye out for wayward emails though. Thanks!

 

So I'm definitely missing something with Lemmy...I've tried creating an account on their site, but it's never gone through. I know we get the same stuff on kbin as we do on Lemmy, but I was curious to try both out.

Surely it's not the same account for both, right?

I tried creating my account on Lemmy about a month ago, and it just kept doing the scrolly-wheel of doom and it never appeared to go through. I tried again today to see if it would work now, but, when I try to create the account, it says that it already exists, but trying to log in does nothing.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I received the copyright certificate for my book yesterday. It's such an incredible feeling to know that all those years of writing has something to show for it.

Of course, after I filed for the copyright, I learned that I pretty much did things in the wrong order for getting published...

But still! Synia lives!
