I know there’s more than one Manchester community set up on the threadiverse (as I’ve heard it called) already but I’ve yet to see a single post on either of them, yet.

I’m sure this might befall the same fate but it feels the like best home for a Manchester community is in a Manchester instance.

So feel free to post your Manchester news, thoughts, questions and let’s build something!

      I’ve had the same problem in the reverse direction.

      My understanding is that kbin and Lemmy aren’t necessarily working perfectly together at the moment. Although I heard a lot of that was to do with kbin using Cloudflare protection, which I think they’ve turned off now.

      Things here certainly aren’t as mature as Mastodon yet but hopefully more users will drive more development.

      I’ll have a look into this stuff better once I’m on my laptop instead of my phone!

          I completely agree.

          Also lemmy’s UI is shocking, especially on mobile. Although I’ve spent much of my career working on that sort of stuff so I wonder if I’m over-sensitive to it. Which suggests maybe I should have a look and see if I can offer some improvements. I think a few small fixes would go a long way.

            @kev Haha I’m the complete opposite. My career has been completely on back-end systems. I can design you an elegant API with my eyes closed, but frequently I see people complaining about UI/UX issues and I genuinely never clocked that there was a problem until someone pointed it out.

              Oh wow! I only just realised you were talking from your Mastodon account and I’m on a a thread on Lemmy. I’m completely amazed at how well that works!
