  • Haven’t heard of bubbles.town before, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

    I notice that Lemmy is not explicitly listed as one of the login options. I tried the sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, and lemmy.world, and got the same error as you did. I also tried a couple Mastodon instances (spacey.space and mastodon.social) and it seemed to recognize those as valid options.

    Is there some way to confirm with the devs of bubbles.town that Lemmy is included in “other Fediverse-compatible servers”?

    I know @grant@toast.ooo has used Lemmy as an authentication method for the Fediverse Canvas events, so in theory it should be possible, but the devs might not have implemented it.
















  • I love the convenience of it. Digital money, books, and communication channels are way easier to use than their paper equivalents.

    However, for media like movies and games (and I guess books, to an extent), I do have some reservations regarding ownership and long-term archival. In many cases, “purchasing” a digital copy turns out to be “purchasing the right access to view/use the content for an indefinite (but not infinite) period of time”. That doesn’t really seem like “ownership” to me. For some media, I’ve opted to purchase a physical copy to support the creator, but then obtain a digital copy from, uh, “elsewhere”, or convert it to a digital copy myself.

    There was another case where a show I wanted to watch was released only on streaming services, but later removed and never released on physical media. There is currently no legal way to watch the show. I would have happily paid for a physical copy had it been available, but I had no choice but to obtain a copy from “elsewhere” :)
