Rottcodd

None or about a dozen, depending on how you want to look at it.

I have about a dozen accounts on various instances, and four or five that I use regularly, but they're not really "alts" since they're all the same name - Rottcodd. Unless someone checked the @s and compared them, they likely wouldn't even realize they're not all the same account.

I started out doing it that way because when I first moved here, I just signed up for whatever instances looked appealing for whatever reason, just to try them out, and figured I'd settle on one later. I kept doing it that way because I discovered some advantages.

Each instance actually feels a bit different, since they have different moderation policies, different sets of federated vs. defederated instances, and different sets of communities that members have subscribed to, so different Alls. And I've emphasized that by having different subscribed and blocked lists on different instances.

So if I want to wade through chaos and maybe do some shitposting, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about gaming or technology or popular media, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about the arts, literature, society, philosophy and the like, I have an account for that. And if I just want to see comfy, pleasant stuff like cat pictures and recipes, I have an account for that.

Ah... that was worth waiting for.

Just ran across this one and thought it was pretty good.

And it's especially notable for being just light and fluffy and amusing, since the mangaka's other works are... not. At all. Even the tiniest bit.

And this surprisingly awesome manga continues to defy expectations.

I was expecting more about the other members, and specifically Rei, since she's gotten enough focus to be recognizable. I was not expecting fujoshi though - not even for a second.

And another person with expectations for Ri-chan to defy...

I agree, mostly.

My parents owned a kennel and bred and boarded and trained dogs, so we had at least a dozen or so full-time residents and generally another dozen or so being boarded and/or trained. I literally grew up surrounded by dogs and I've always loved them.

BUT, dog owners, at this point, are fucking awful, and that's led to a whole lot of awful dogs, exactly as you so colorfully and accurately say.

Yeah - look at the face she's making at the top left.

There's a lot of dere under her tsun.

I think we can safely assume that we're going to be seeing a lot more of those two women at the community center - they're too detailed to be throwaway characters. And I'm looking forward to it - Ri-chan with an ara-ara onee-chan and a little, sharp-eyed tsundere should be good.

Sorry - I thought it was self-evident that I was talking about accessing it on a phone. On which it's fine in a browser.

In fact, I'd say that kbin in mobile Firefox has a UI that all of the Lemmy apps can still only aspire to.

I won’t even try kbin without a mobile app.

Why not?

It's a website. It works perfectly fine in a browser.

And for that matter, so does Lemmy, which is why I still access it that way. The apps are getting there, but IMO none of them have yet managed to even match the Firefox experience, much less surpass it.

Seriously - this is a thing that just doesn't even begin to make sense to me. What drives this obsessive need for an app? And especially for a website, which of necessity has already been designed to work in a browser?

Those last two panels were subtle but nicely done. It took me a minute, and a bit of zooming, to figure them out.

I'm pretty sure they're meant to illustrate Ri-chan's perception of the world changing - going from dark and simple and vague to light and complex and detailed, as she figuratively comes out of the dark and into the light.

I suspect a lot of us can relate. I know I can.
