Same. Otherwise I’d have the door closed.

Exact same. Two thumbs when typing longer responses or when both hands are free. One handed always swiping unless I need to type an uncommon word or name.

So I picked one up on your recommendation. Using it on Windows. A little bummed it isn’t natively reprogrammable, but comfort wise it is essentially identical to my old MS explorer. The soft touch finish is a bit slippery out of the box, so my hand has a tendency to slide down after a few seconds. We’ll see how that works long term. I am finding the wireless connectivity to work pretty well.

I’ve been using trackballs for over 20 years and much prefer them to mice for work (I do use a mouse for gaming though). After my MS Trackball explorer died, I went through a few others, and currently use an Elecom Huge as my main trackball, which is quite good.

This looks a lot like a clone of the MS trackball explorer, though, which I LOVED….I may need to pick one up.

Mlem is Ok, but still lacks way too man QOL features. I found Memmy as well, which is a bit newer, but also seems to be way more polished already, and the dev does updates almost daily. Already has listed communities, search, a working feed that doesn’t duplicate, and blurred NSFW.

Yep. I have accounts on three instances, but I had been using my Lemmy.World one the most, and then suddenly my beehaw communities are gone. It’s not a huge deal given that these accounts are so young, but it was still annoying. These sorts of things will prevent Lemmy from growing as an overall community.

In my case it was just trying to get a sign in that worked.

Not to mention that even after you do the essay, it takes forever to get approval on a lot of places. I signed up on lemmy.one first, and couldn’t log in for a long time…then signed up at beehaw.org. My lemmy.one account finally became active yesterday, while my beehaw.org one still hasn’t been activated, and it’s been 3 days.
