As long as the keyboard supports shift + escape for tilde (they said theirs did), i really don’t see a need for a 75%.

Didn’t Google try replace email a decade ago with Wave?

I have an instagram account with 0 posts because it’s the only way to find out what’s going on in town.

I got lemmy to replace Reddit but I find myself going back to check on the local subreddit since they have no interest yet in moving here. When Narwall finally stops working I imagine I’ll stop using Reddit altogether.

Reddragon k552 10keyless rgb keyboard. It’s around $40 and is an amazing entry level mechanical. It was the board that started me down the rabbit hole.

The kitchen scale is super useful if you ever start making bread products. That said I avoid the scale for myself. Too depressing.

The main reason I prefer the 65 over 75 is not having to lift my hand to hit the Fn keys. Looks do play a part though as well.

Don’t worry. I’m sure once you get a 65% in your stable you’ll stop. You probably won’t need go ergo or have keyboards you swap out depending on your mood.

I have 2 porticos because the kbd67 was always out of stock. They still exist but the price went up to $160.

I agree with a number of these complaints. I’m migrating over from reddit and I’m having a number of issues similar to what was posted.
Here’s my experience.

OK the blackout started, I moved Apollo and Narwall to page 2 of my phone so I don’t muscle memory click on them. I google lemmy because that’s what people were talking about switching too before the blackout. I get linked to a page that says lemmy is a bunch of instances and it doesn’t matter which one you join. ok… but which one do I join? I goto the instance page and sort by which server has the most users and is in my country. Beehaw it is I guess. Let’s sign up. Oh there’s a form you have to answer questions about why you fit here and a human is going to approve me (still waiting on that one). Lets see which one has open registration, Lemmy.World. I try registering and it just spins (still does, tried it again today in firefox, safari, and edge). OK well lets keep trying until we get one to work (lemmynsfw.com was the winner at the time and since then I got an account at https://sh.itjust.works).

OK I’m in and I’m on a NSFW instance but I’m looking for technology, news, and politics. OK communities ALL, which technology do I join (Beehaw, lemmy.ml, midwest.social)?

It took me almost a day to get setup and the top search results on the issues I was facing all linked to reddit pages I wasn’t going to click on.

I’m setup now and looking forward to things getting sorted out (there will be clear winners we all migrate to). I really don’t understand the benefit of being federated. I honestly would prefer a single site that’s a nonprofit similar to wikipedia but I’ll be using this for now.
