It’s not a perfect clone, but it definitely eases the transition. I gave it a try and found it quite usable.

I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.

Definitely notice the improved speed and fewer errors lately. Thanks so much for hosting a great instance, and for keeping up with its needs.

A lot of this stuff is pretty opaque to me, but I still read through it because I love how detailed they are in sharing what’s going on under the hood and how it relates to problems users experience. Kudos to you guys!

I’m keeping my account live so that I can still interact and ask questions in threads when I get taken there by search results. Reddit ultimately shows up a lot when looking for solutions to technical problems.

As far as browsing and contributing, I think I’m sticking with Lemmy. Things are just starting to get good.

It’s been going downhill at an increasing pace lately.

Yeah, it does feel a lot better already. Thanks for your work maintaining this instance!

Sweet. Was thinking of getting one myself. Is that the one with the weird push-pull knob that engages a tone circuit?

Hey, how do you like that Yamaha?

Same with Boost.

Yes, sluggishness and timeouts. As others suggest, there are growing pains. I have faith that as the new number of users starts to stabilize, these problems will settle down.

Excellent!

Yeah, I’m sold on Lemmy too.

It’s also totally in the alpha stage, too. I would hope that with the influx of new users, the pace of development will pick up as well.

I’m gonna miss Boost so bad.

I’m at the same place. Liking the platform, lamenting the current lack of content. When (if) it really gets rolling though, I can see this as a perfect replacement.

And while I was a bit leery of the distributed nature at first, I could see finding new niche instances being as fun as finding new subreddits.

I like the new icon!

Gotta catch 'em all!

I think I heard something about that, yeah. Thanks for the heads up!

No Man’s Sky has kind of been my go-to since it was released. Of course I’ll sit down and get into lots of other games, but if I’m playing nothing in particular - NMS.
