[META] The merger from lemmy.world has locked out k.bin members. [FIXED] in c/android@lemdro.id

It took a few tries for me to get here, but I was able to sub from a kbin instance just now

It seems that using kbin to engage with mastodon and lemmy works a lot better than using mastodon to engage with kbin and lemmy. Can't speak for using Lemmy for kbin and mastodon.

Edit: on kbin to see microblog type posts from users I have subscribed to I need to go to subscribed (found in the dropdown menu between + and username) and then click the Microblog tab. (If I am already on the microblog tab and select subscribed it will take me over to threads, I need to click back over to microblog. I hope this changes.)

Do you think a Fold style phone with an eInk display on the outside would work well? in c/android@lemmy.world

I don't think I am going to want a folding phone for a very long time. An e-ink display on the back of a phone for reading, or displaying static content, would be cool though. It would be nice to have recipes on an always on display, same with shopping lists, and some other reference materials.

It looks like at least one company made a prototype of such a thing back in 2013: https://techcrunch.com/2013/01/10/the-yotaphone-has-an-e-ink-display-on-the-back-and-thats-simply-awesome/

I don't know why e-ink never seems to take off outside of e-readers, maybe it's just still too expensive?
