So it’s holos.social on a server? Did I get that right?

How about using Loops.video?

I realise this now. One of the things I have experienced is that particularly with lemmy, one has to be persistent. I started a group named bengali_convo a few years ago, and it picked up remarkably. But then I did not tend to the group much due to other commitments and the discussion streamed trickled down. I certainly for one, see a huge potential in lemmy and piefed for expansion of #Fediverse and #ActivityPub.

Absolutely. Completely see your point about the intentionality. There may be several approaches is all I am saying.

Communities grow organically. If you keep things simple and raise awareness, that will work as it has worked with other solutions. We have a saying that a zebra is a horse designed by a committee. The fediverse was meant to be decentralised and designed to be “wide” within a protocol. So while the adoption may seem to be slow now, it will speed up over time and spread.

 

Soft glow on the Tavera mountains

Yup, know that feeling. Although we almost never experienced in upper 30s here.

No, not usually. It didn’t snow much either today. A few wisps.

 

First snowfall finally in Sheffield, Canterbury. Very brief.

It’s a pragmatic approach. Without burning bridges, we can bring people over.
