For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • I think there are even a few grammatical errors that native english speaking people are more likely to be doing that us folks who learned it as a second language.
    When I see things like “should of”, “would of”, “for all intensive purposes” it’s usually coming from a native speaker.
    I think someone who learned speaking the language before first and writing it second is more likely to make these.
    I assimilated “should”, “have” and “of” before I really used contractions, so I never make that mistake.
    It’s even somewhat jarring to read.
    should of… of what?








  • Makes sense.
    I even have an account on yours already and is actually the first one I made.
    Choosing an instance has been the most awkward part yet. More easily accessible info on instances’ admins, hosting situation, funding, etc. might help.

    My first visit was very confusing because I tried browsing a community that had just defederated us, which really isn’t too obvious as a noob. I registered on lemm.ee to see what beehaw was even about, and I’m going back and forth between the two homes trying to choose.

    I very much like the /c/agora idea on sh.itjust.works so I’m definitely sticking around.
    I think an important part is getting to know your instance’s admin as a person, and I haven’t really taken the time to do that.
    See ya around
