        So I’m logged into an acct here on y’all with the same user name.
        It’s weird it seemed to take some time to let me log in. After I created an acct here, i wasn’t able to log in and just got an endless spinning icon. My previous comment was logged in from bayport@lemmy.villa-straylight.social

        I’m wondering suspecting that having the exact username on various instances will cause me some problems or confusion in future 🙃

          Yeah…the software currently has a lot of rough edges. Looking at the git repo, it looks like with all the new attention, things are getting patched up quickly.

          One reason for the spinning icon is that comms b/w your brower and the server are currently handled through websockets, which is a bit of a clunky way of doing things with the negative side effects you are experiencing. The dev is fixing that in the next version, which should be released imminently. In the meantime, a refresh of the browser page usually fixes stuff.

        Test post to see if I can view this on Mastodon

          Ok, I boosted this on Mastodon. But is there a way to follow a conversation?

            On Mastodon, yes - if you search for “announce@yall.theatl.social”, you should be able to follow, for example

    I gotta say that a banner showing Atlanta without any trees feels like it’s missing something about Atlanta :D ;)

      Haha, oh, I agree. I added that graphic because it was already on theATL.social, but I also didn’t like that either.

      I was going to spin up Canva and try something new - but in lieu of that, any suggestions or submissions would be much appreciated!
