Has anyone managed to recover from а serious burnout without taking a sabbatical? How?

    I set strict restrictions and limits on my work-life balance. My company can throw all the work they want at me between the hours of 9 and 5. Anytime outside that range, I’m not an employee, I’m a husband and a father. If my phone rings at 5:15, it goes to voicemail until tomorrow morning. I’m an IT consultant, so I have the luxury of never being on call or working weekends.

  • why did you switch?
  • Romdeau4 Romdeau4 Now 100%

    I really didn’t want to install Vista. I didn’t like how it looked or felt so I swapped out XP for Ubuntu. I stayed until Win7 and switched back to windows, but windows 8 rolled around and I went to Fedora. I’ve been here ever since.

  • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?

    Do you mean actual NSFW content or things being called “_____ porn” like “unix porn” or “fight porn”?

    Personally, I’m a fan of event based mega threads. I wild much rather a magazine have one big thread of everyone discussing a topic than 3 pages of the same info from different sources all discussing the same event.

    For recurring mega threads, it depends on the community. They helped drive discussion in some of the smaller subreddits I was in. But recurring mega threads for medium or large communities just add to the clutter.

    I’m hoping kbin doesn’t adopt an algorithm to push specific magazines to the top. Or adopt ad based revenue streams. I tried switching to the Reddit app after losing Apollo and the ads were so aggressive, I couldn’t differentiate the ads from the content.

    You don’t have to from a story perspective. There are some quality of life things that 2 has, but they’re both really great games.

    +1 for pork bun! Everything is easy and cheap. I don’t really ask for much more from a registrar

    I’ve been on Fedora for about 7 years. My server flips between Ubuntu and CentOS every couple of years.

  • Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.

    I think mod tools will become a higher priority as more users, posts, and comments start to show up. Given kbin’s sudden explosive growth, I doubt mod support was high on the dev’s todo list last week.

    Thoughts and Feelings of Default Magazines?

    What does the kbin community think about having new user accounts subscribed to some set of default communities to get them started and show how the platform works? Rather than starting from ground 0, users can have \~20-30 communities and then add/remove from there. Similar to how Reddit has default subreddits or MySpace had everyone friends with Tom. Not only would it help grow fledgling communities, but it would also help showcase federation if we included some of the Lemmy or Mastadon sites as well. Just a small example list: * Technology: [https://beehaw.org/c/technology](https://beehaw.org/c/technology) * Mildly Infuriating: [https://lemmy.world/c/mildlyinfuriating](https://lemmy.world/c/mildlyinfuriating) * Mastadon Updates: [https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon) * Gaming: [https://kbin.social/m/gaming](https://kbin.social/m/gaming) * Science [https://kbin.social/m/science](https://kbin.social/m/science) While I'm not advocating those all be defaults, if every user new user received the same "federated start communities" it shows how kbin interact with these other platforms and helps grow the entire fediverse. I'm just one kbin user, so what does everyone else think?

    Once federation is turned back on, will the magazine list show the federated magazines and their subscriber count too? Or is that list local to this instance only?
