I see a few cakes next to usernames (my cake day is June 10th).

It has been an interesting year, so thanks for hanging in there!

This Lemmy instance is a nice place to hang out, so here’s to many more!

I worked on the database stuff some more today and didn’t have any luck with getting federation of comments working again. I decided to upgrade the server to the new release, 0.19.4 even though it’s so new, with hopes that it might jump start some federation stuff – and so far it hasn’t! finally got federation back to a working state, at least so it seems, maybe?! Thanks @Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me.

The new version has some neat new features, though.

Under your profile you can click “Uploads” and see all of the pictures you’ve uploaded. Some of them seem to be “lost”, but that’s par for the course. You can even delete the pictures. Yay!

      Should we give it a go in July?

      The only concern I have is that quite a few of us might do AA so after one edition, there would already be a break, but that’s a minor obstacle

        Let’s do this!

        And a pause in August is not that much of an issue, IMO. Eversthing shuts down in August.

        How should we procede for nominating a soap?

          How about we choose a working title (wetshaving.social, maybe?) and sketch out the idea in a stand-alone post to get everyone’s input?

          Basically, we need to agree on

          1. a date for the group shave (probably best to choose a Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday, to avoid clashing with Mammoth Monday, Tabac Tuesday, Theme Thursday, or Fougère Friday.)
          2. a cutoff date by which to choose the soap so we have enough time for smushes to reach the particpants (2 weeks before? 3?)
          3. start a pinned voting thread.

          What do you think?
