Just a spacefaring raccoon that’s eaten all the food onboard. Sorry.
@[email protected] (alt) ⇉
I have an alt for my main account. I just link back to my main account from there. I mainly use it when my main instance goes down. Likewise, I link my main account to an older account I had originally that I migrated from (all same username). That way, even if my new/alt looks really new, if someone cared enough, they could follow the trail backward to other older accounts.
LASIM works great. Used it to migrate my main account to an alt for when my main instance inevitably goes down.

Yep. That was my first thought - how everyone says to use Matrix rather than Lemmy DMs for anything sensitive. This will be fantastic.
It’s taught that way in the US as well.
Subscribed - Hot, changing to Active, then New, if things get stale.
I remember there being a YouTube video of some people that did it in a small town (or neighborhood) and made, essentially, a DIY neighborhood mesh network. I keep looking up stuff, and I’m only finding terms like “relay mesh.” If I find the YouTube video after a reasonable search, I’ll edit.
EDIT: Was the term WISP (Wireless ISP) network? It’s a setting you can do on your router and what the videos I was watching were talking about. The YouTube channel is Freethink, and they cover it being done in Detroit, NYC, and Dylan’s Beach.
The difference is, most people in Phoenix have air conditioners. The danger, aside from the heat itself, is that there is little refuge other than going to a place that does have AC, which isn’t an option for everyone.
Honestly, I’m torn. I like kbin a lot. It takes some getting used to with understanding the terminology with magazines and threads and whatnot. I use it on desktop and as a PWA on my phone (through Hermit). Initially, I liked it more than Lemmy. It felt more polished, and I felt more at ease morally with the “Lemmy is developed by tankies” stuff (but each instance has their own ethics and politics, so eh).
But now, I find myself on Lemmy a lot more. It feels more “at home” when migrating from Reddit - and things are more straightforward with communities, posts, and so on. Plus, Jerboa on Android is nice (don’t know about iPhone app experience). Both the app and Lemmy itself seem to be getting quicker updates with features, bug fixes, etc.
That said, I’ve personally chosen to keep kbin with kbin and Lemmy with Lemmy - but you definitely could sub to and interact with both from either. So it’s kind of a moot point in terms of which is “better,” as it boils down to personal preference. I’m leaning more Lemmy these days.
Downloads one instance’s communities (and some other settings) to a JSON, then you can upload from that JSON to a new instance. I’m not sure there’s anything that quite caters to what you’re looking for yet.
