    I was literally typing a reply about how it still is useful to onlookers and how I have had my mind changed as a third party witness to online arguments before, and then I saw this. Thanks for doing that!

    AppFlowy, an open source alternative to Notion with AI
    github.com

    Found out about this. I'm already on Obsidian but I might check it out. Very not interested in the AI, but since it's open source you can definitely try to remove it instead of having it forcibly shoved onto you with no way to try to turn it off like with Notion.

    As an out of touch person, I have a possible explanation for this: have you ever said "shit" repeatedly as something goes wrong? I imagine some people would write a story where that happens and write it as "shitshitshit" and not "shit shit shit". But outside of that situation I have never seen or heard "shitshit".

    Also, https://startrek.website is a whole instance for Star Trek. Having multiple communities about the same thing is good for redundancy in case one goes down though.

    Yep, definitely not new, but in the past I have seen people promote not-new communities that nonetheless are tiny and have not been posted here before so I figured it was okay. If you're concerned this sub is losing its purpose you might want to message the mod about changing the rules or something. I do not mind seeing old communities here but my opinion is not the only one that matters, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca does exist even if it gets far less traffic.

    Used to use r/NameThatSong on Reddit sometimes when I could not remember the name of a song but remembered how the song went. It's on the Fediverse too at !namethatsong@lemmy.wtf

    From the Obsidian Discord:

    PSA: Our main server was taken down by a forced reboot at 2024-08-24 3AM EST / 12AM PST. When the account server was down, our services like Sync, Publish, and account functions like login or sign up were disrupted.

    Normally our services would have immediately auto-restarted, however we made a mistake in the auto-restart configuration, which meant that it did not automatically restart. I was able to start it up again manually at 8AM EST. Everything is back to normal now.

    I have since located the configuration issue and fixed it so if this happens again it would be down for at most a few seconds. Apologies for the inconvenience!

    Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that'll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

    Hey, thanks for the recommendations! I have never heard of Tomboy so I went and looked it up and from the images I saw on Wikipedia it definitely looks "forever ago".

    Wish Lemmy Scheduler worked with Mbin, because I found a lot of good posts for !digitalgarden@lemmy.world that would best be spaced out to avoid spamming and to keep the community active for a decent period of time.

  • I originally replied to [this post](https://lemmy.ml/post/10136795) with [a list of digital gardens](https://kbin.melroy.org/m/digitalgarden@lemmy.world/t/88456/-/comment/3203613) and kept updating my reply as I found more gardens. As I was making this post I found my reply did not even make it over to that person's post on their instance. So I figure I might as well make that list of digital gardens more accessible to everyone! I'll keep this updated as I find more.

    Latest MuseScore 3 is mean to me about saving. I have to Save As everytime and half the time it gets weird about playback afterwards so I have to close it out and reopen. Updated to MuseScore 4 and to be honest I forget most of my grievances with it beyond a playback issue with some weird thing I did, but it also bothered me enough to run crying back into the arms of MuseScore 3 (thank you Internet Archive). It was probably something about formatting which is ironic considering all the engraving improvements they made. Considering an alternative after using MuseScore for most of my life. What do yall use? And literally just after posting this I remembered [LilyPond](https://lilypond.org/), which a friend told me about awhile back. Never really checked it out. It's free though!

    A pretty tutorial in article format. Uses plugins. Author talks about switching from Goodreads. I also switched from Goodreads, but while we're on the Fediverse I might bring this up: I switched to [https://joinbookwyrm.com/](https://joinbookwyrm.com/), another Fediverse thing.

    I have no idea how to do this. Sometimes I pick up the yarn and it runs nicely, sometimes I end up with, say, 1 inch of length that just keeps getting shorter the more stitches I make and I must manually pull more from the ball instead of me just getting more yarn from the ball naturally with each stitch. ("1 inch" was just made up for this example, never actually measured it.) I have no idea what is affecting this. But the tension is awful and my practice piece looks like this. Please help me!
