Mastodon: @confusedbunny
Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don’t question.

Lemmy: @i_am_not_a_robot
Shame, but understandable. I’d pretty much come to the same conclusion that the interface and concept is really nice, but the backend just isn’t working properly. I’ve migrated most of my communities off already due to issues.
I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I’ve failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.
Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it’s a similar adventure gamebook system)
Yes, this doesn’t make sense. How I thought it worked is that the originating server would push the new article to the home instance, and the other instances then pull from there (or the home server pushes; whatever, same net effect). If that isn’t how it works, I don’t see how it can work, as every server which posts to a magazine would need to know who subscribes to it. Certainly in the case of Mastodon, it doesn’t have a concept of this, yet can post to communities/magazines and the comments federate out (maybe comments work differently though? There doesn’t appear to be a problem with comments as far as I can tell)
Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)
Deep Sea Adventure
The official bug reporting system is @jerry
I strongly suspect it’s a timezone bug in kbin. fedia.io is hosted in Germany (I think) which will be GMT+2, which would explain the two hours difference if it isn’t converting back to GMT/UTC on the timestamps. Does this happen on kbin.social too? That would help determine if it’s a kbin bug or just configuration on fedia.io.
Is the pilot a cat?
I was sent this fruit cake as a thank you for some software I wrote, back in the 2000s. It’s from a famous fruit cake place in USA (I forget where now) and was delicious.

Everything.
Takahē are going to try implementing it too, once Bluesky are ready to federate.
A stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.
I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.
I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn’t happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.
There’s some I haven’t used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that’s the best of both worlds. I don’t think the private messaging function works on it yet though.
Debian Woody PPC. I also downloaded Yellow Dog but don’t remember ever installing or using it.
The dev does plan to open source it I believe.
