As 2023 is coming to an end shortly, I'm going to go through and just randomly list off some favorites from the past year.
High speed. Minimal thoughts.
First - favorite new manga of 2023? Beat and Motion, Two on Ice, and Shojo Null. The first's about music; the second's about figure skaters; the last is set in a world of disposable cyborgs that are actuality sentient people with machines on them removing all sense of consciousness - with a sentient cyborg lead, a co-lead whose parent's were murdered for learning this truth, & good social commentary on cops.
2023 was big for me on the Fediverse. I got active on Pixelfed with @mdmrn. I started a new Sharkey (originally Firefish) account @mdmrn.
I had a KBin account, but that disappeared almost as soon as I had it when NerdBin disappeared. Then again I was never much of a Reddit guy...so Fediverse Reddit was never going to be my thing.
We're almost to 1 month of running Nerdbin (the 15th I think?!) - and I've been happy to see folks find my little #kbin instance, #nerdbin - targeting anyone with an awesome little nerdy fandom they are passionate about.
We've got folks creating their own magazines, some talking in existing ones. I appreciate everyone!
At the 1 month mark I'm going to post a "month in review" to show off growth, costs, etc, for everyone interested in running their own!
@jcrabapple Boosting for you & your #DMV community folks. I voted no. BUT - I was never really a Reddit person. I'm trying out #NerdBin and I like the functionality of it, but - again, Reddit was never really my thing.
Well, following advices, trying out this new instance, nerdbin.social hope that it works out well. @Matt, while adding my subscriptions (and as a testing of federation) I noticed I couldn't subscribe to any magazines on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and I'm going to assume you chose to defederate from them. Is there any specific reason why? #nerdbin#kbin#fediverse
Okay, so I made a #NerdBin account to try out #KBin. Not sure how much I'll use it cause I was never really a big Reddit person in general, but if interested - here's my account: @mdmrn
Okay, so I am on #Android, and it let me install the #NerdBin website as though it is an app. So, I can save the website app and use it that way. Works well.
