I'm all in for this hobby. For years now I've been messing around with emulation, but now I'm thinking about building the 486 computer I dreamed of when I was a little boy.
Is it me or people on eBay are overpricing their stuff?! Like.. "Here's literal garbage, haven't tested it, no guarantees, that'll be 300$. Oh and by the way you're gonna get screwed again with shipping costs." Sigh...
I feel like there's no way to get into the hobby unless you either break the bank or you know someone who's got spares to give away or sell.
Makes sense. Still, there isn't gonna be a real and strong "reddit migration" if people can't subscribe and enjoy communities in here. I saw posts yesterday about instances doing server upgrades, which is nice. If that's the issue I'd be glad to contribute financially but they have to make those upgrades fast! There's an opportunity window here and I fear the average user coming from Reddit isn't gonna be patient.
Am I the only one with a bunch of communities I'd like to join but with a status still on "Subscribe pending".
I'm still new to all this and I'm really loving it so far, but man, so much stuff is confusing and counter-intuitive. Isn't the point of having federated instances being able to talk to each other?
