Only on this account. Combine my other accounts and its over 2k. Excluding comments ofc, just this account has around 2500 comments.

I also have like the 2nd or third upvoted post on this sub a week ago. Thats about being in war time Pakistan. All good now, no more active attacks.

I’ve also started 8 communities here. Unfortunately I haven’t been active for a few months but you might still have heard of aneurysm posting or short stories.

I love writing, reading, chess, football, cricket, movies, history, mythology, food, art and culture. Especially love thorough analysis of anything really.

Tried joining Lemmy in 2022 but couldn’t due to whatever instance that was being annoying. Tried again in 2023 and been here since.

Love a lot of instances here. Sopuli, literature cafe and dbzer0 my favourite. Although i think with dbzer0 its more loyalty now 😭.

    Finally finding an instance and then not getting back a confirmation email.

    As someone who runs a dedicated email server for a Mastodon instance, this is a major pain in the ass. Some email services will shitcan any messages coming from your server just because it is hosted on an IP address in the same block as some spammer from years ago, regardless of how many authentication protocols you configure (basically any public cloud hosting service will suffer this problem). I think most admins would actually appreciate if you reach out to them about things like this. I’ve activated a couple accounts manually when their email provider would not allow them to accept-list my mail server.

      Now that I’m on Lemmy and understand it its fine.

      But as a newbie it was a massive barrier to entry. I don’t wanna put in effort to signup.

      And this isn’t about me but about newcomers in general. Theres a lot of confusion about choosing instances and understanding the terminology etc. Adding so many barriers to entry makes it tough.

      Firstly I wish instances were called servers. Once I thought of instances as servers was when I understood the concept.

      I say all this as someone mostly tech illiterate. I’m really bad at this stuff like the general population beyond the average Lemmy user.
