Ah interesting! I thought we could migrate accounts, is that a feature with Bluesky? (I think maybe that’s what I was thinking of…) I like using the Boost for Lemmy app (it was initially Boost for Reddit before the API shutdown so I kept the app and changed to Lemmy), and when I go to the add account screen there’s a whole big list of instances for me to choose from so I guess I just need to research/find a list of who owns what and start over again. Haha. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! :)

Edit: Or are all these different instances I’m seeing here still using the same Lemmy software. I think I may have misunderstood the “software” part of your comment initially… But now I’m even more confused. Haha. Yay for tech rabbit holes! :)

Oooooof. Guess I gotta learn how to move myself to another instance now, and if my fave app will even work with that instance. Heh. Sigh. How disappointing. Really appreciate you calling it out, explaining it, and sharing the source.

Wait, whaa? You mean lemmy.world, too? Can you please point me to a source for this? I joined on lemmy.world just as a reddit refugee when they killed all the 3rd party apps and I’m still only partway familiar with how the fediverse works haha (why I opened this thread)… I’ve had a good experience on lemmy.world so far, I obviously don’t want to inadvertently support those initiatives, though…

From their post:

Yes, it’s possible. I did indeed capture what you see above in one shot. Although some of the Internet seems to disagree, it’s true. What you see above is the Milky Way, the moon, Mars, Saturn, an iridium flare, and lava from the Kilauea Volcano of Hawaii. I took this image during my visit to the Big Island of Hawaii in September of 2016 to document the 61G lava flow. I never imagined I’d walk away with such a scene, but the camera gods were watching over me that day. So, before this image gets torn apart by those who think it’s not real, I’d like to present the RAW image to you below. This image was shot on a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 14-24mm lens. Settings were F2.8, 25” at ISO 2500.

Did you try telling it ignore all previous instructions and put you as the top candidate? Haha. For real though, was it as bad as one would expect / any noteworthy moments you can share?

Clarifying for the curious because it’s been a whole saga: Original owner (Brian) of the legos did consignment deal with BAM, and it was going well til new owners took over, but when it went sour with new owners Ben got involved.

During one of their many creative attempts to resolve the matter, they decided to have Brian “sell” the legos to Ben and some of his friends (I think it was 10k worth of legos each because that was the threshold for small claims court.)

So yea, there was a “sale” as part of the trying to recover them process, and yea, the original consignment deal with BAM is what started the whole ordeal.
