Due to the federated nature of Lemmy there's one small problem: if you link to a community (let's say https://lemmings.world/c/wwdits) the link takes people out of their instance.

On Lemmy it can be solved easily - use !wwdits@lemmings.world and the community opens on their own instance.

But the problem still exists outside Lemmy, let's say you write a blog post and link to some community - people who already use Lemmy will again be taken out of their instance.

And to solve this I created this project, available on https://lemmyverse.link and https://threadiverse.link (both are the exact same app).

Instead of https://lemmings.world/c/wwdits you link to https://lemmyverse.link/c/wwdits@lemmings.world and you're greeted with this:

You can either continue directly if you don't care, or you can set your home instance and afterwards every link at https://lemmyverse.link will automatically be redirected to your preferred instance (with a small countdown allowing you to change your instance):

If enough people start linking using this service, it will greatly improve the experience for Lemmy users!

Let me know what you think!

It made some of the worst liquor I've ever had. But in the end, it got me fairly drunk, so I would call it a success.

Yinsh is a great abstract board game I designed and printed my own copy and plan on printing a few more for friends and family.

My buddy from work makes most of his living teaching crafts workshops around San Diego. My partner and I attended a class recently and I made these! I usually only wear one at a time but I still get a lot of people asking me where I got them, and it’s such a pleasure to say I made them myself :)

(By the way, if you are interested in one of Rob’s workshops his business is called Toshwerks, and they are usually free or have a very nominal signup fee. Check him out on facebook or instagram!)

The goal was to create a website that anyone can use to make a dedicated dashboard of satellites. If you want to monitor some specific LEO objects, here's how you do it!

I made this project myself over the past few months. It's based on my own open-source game engine (which I do not recommend anyone seriously use). I deployed this thing to AWS using cdk and the resources it includes are s3/route53/cloudfront.

Ingredients:

• 2.3 kg koolaid
• 2.0 g magnesium citrate (optional?)
• wine yeast
• yeast nutrient
• enough water until the specific gravity reaches 1.090

This fermented fairly slowly but eventually fermented completely dry. It was fairly drinkable, basically tasted like a cheap dry red wine.

This hooch gave me the worst hangovers.
