I've mistakenly added too many news/politics/FediMeta stress accounts to my main feed, but it turns out the #WanderingShop local feed is a great place for a breathing break. The instance goal of a 'local' timeline to with "the feel of a coffee shop at a good science fiction convention: tables full of friendly conversation on a wide variety of topics," is coming along nicely. Thank you @Johannab !

Look what's in Google's language model dataset, used in the instruction of T5 and Facebook’s LLaMA.

My day:

* got blackbox monitoring working for #WanderingShop so now I know how often our latency spikes (a lot!). Verdict: success
* made a GH action that builds >1 fly.io application. Verdict: nifty!
* tried to make a puzzle piece base model four fucking times. Current status: unable to create an axis to rotate around and unable to translate a component to a place where the origin would work. Verdict: fuck everything (especially Fusion360) all the way into the sun.

Would love an invite to wanderingshop if possible! #wanderingshop

Trying to spend more time looking at the shop’s local feed and interacting there; this is a lovely community of people. #WanderingShop

I seem to have stopped getting notifications of any kind. Anyone know what I need to do to fix it?

Cool SPACE stuff! Ooh, ooh, it occurred to me that I've shared nothing but cheer since I've been hugely welcomed on #wanderingshop Well today, #SpaceCadets How far up does #Space start? Here Prof Meghan Gray from The University of Nottingham in the UK explains! You're welcome :) https://youtu.be/nILOHp79njQ

I also puzzled about that issue, as I've been an #SFF fan for many years and also wanted to get an invite. However, as I can follow anyone from any fedi server, I realised it's not a problem.

Just follow the writers etc you like to start seeing their posts.

Have we started on New Year's being thankful yet? If not can I start? Just sent off my first draft MS to my editor of my new thriller. I have no idea how I managed finishing a novel last year at all. Thankfully I can earn my proper #wanderingshop stripes and be writing an #SFF novel in 2023!

Merry #Christmastodon Thanks for making me so welcome this year, especially everyone at @wanderingshop #wanderingshop 💜💜💜

How does one get an invite to wandering.shop? hmmmm... #wanderingshop

I've spotted some WisCon + Fiyah people, Wandering. Are folks here from ThinkGalactiCon too? There's bound to be overlap.

My local timeline this morning was a kind of perfection-beauty, nostalgia and fighting words. Thank you, mastodon. #WanderingShop #Scotland #mastodonScot #LocalTimeline #gratitude #mastodons

So many #sff friends are on the #instance #wanderingshop I would appreciate an invitation if you have a spare. Thanks!

I'm on the lookout for an invitation to wandering.shop if possible.

Good morning, #WritingCommunity! I've only spent a few days on Mastodon but I am in love with the community here!! I have been met with such kindness & cozy vibes. 😊

I hope it is not in bad taste to put this wish out there, but if anyone has an invite to Wandering.Shop, I would be grateful to be part of that community! As a #fantasy #ShortStory writer & speculative poet, I'd love to be part of a community of fantasy/sci-fi writers ✨ I'll bring coffee, bread & good vibes!

Is there some sort of Wandering Shop guide for etiquette? Like which things our mods want behind CWs, which things aren't, etc?

Does the #wanderingshop have an official patreon page?

The last time I saw a donation page, it was attached to a blog page and honestly it made me very skeptical about putting any money towards it because it looked so unprofessional and... well...

It looked like it was put together in 5 minutes...

I get that folks don't have the resources to design a website, but Patreon is a very good way to have something that looks good without the effort. At the very least, have a Paypal...

@Nura I think on #WanderingShop that might get you promoted 💜

Hi there! Long-time vaccinator, first time positive. My hubs and I both tested positive for COVID... 5 days what feels like a 1000 years ago... and I'm not saying I'd do it but I totally understand how Jack Torrence nearly took out his whole family while they were wintering at the Overlook Hotel.
