Just a little storytime about Vinted.
I just wanted to register on Vinted to sell some second-hand stuff, because I haven’t had much success elsewhere. I would have never imaged that they will reject my addy.io alias. After a couple of annoying e-mails detailing how to register an account, I was left with the answer on the screenshot after trying to get an explanation why the domain I am paying for (not some random free gmail address) is not worthy of their services…
I just wish there were more communities that aren’t technology or politics.
Yeah, I still regularly visit Reddit because communities related to my specific games (GW2, Genshin) or countries (UK, Hungary) seem rather dead on Lemmy.
Also more story-based forums like AITA, TIFU or HobbyDrama, and of course my favourite, BestOfRedditorUpdates (whose Lemmy equivalent would need several active story-based communities to curate from).
Still a long way to go for Lemmy to completely replace Reddit for me 😮💨
Yeah. That’s a symptom of being small I guess. As it grows, the critical mass of others with your hobby will eventually be reached. But I totally agree.
