In tomorrow's VC pitch deck: Clipboard-as-a-service. Subscribers get two clipboards to start with. Each clipboard has a sensor that detects when it breaks, which will automatically trigger the shipment of a new clipboard to the owner.

Ah i wasn't sure if you just wanted to follow or participate. This solution allows you to follow but not participate

Why do you need a 3d printer when carrots have been coming out of the ground for thousands of years.

It's mobile-friendly, and you can follow/subscribe without creating an account. You can also import a list of current subscriptions from your old reddit account using a .json file.

The only issue is that it's read-only and you can't create an account, post or upvote. But given the shitstorm that is the reddit admin team, i view this as a good thing!

lemmy has become much tolerable after i blocked all the meme communities.

i also block hexbear and beehaw for separate reasons.

The problem is - on reddit, the userbase is large enough that I can decide what I want to talk about. If i want to discuss underwater basket weaving, there will be communities talking about that. lemmy is nowhere near big enough - there's traction on /all/ but not on the smaller communities.
