LFGSS Discord

Just joined.
Jesus, the UI... 😱

Maybe my vpn is blocking it, will try that with it off :(

Yep, that was the problem:)

I had this, just made sure I was signed in in another tab and left it a few minutes, and then it worked.

Is it wise to turn off to let discord use your data for 'improvements'? And are there perhaps other privacy settings people should be aware of?

Jesus, the UI... 😱

Anyone who says this is old !

(me too)

Absolutely terrible.

Alright, if Discord is a no, I’ll start with setting up the LFGSS TikTok group.

London Fixed Gear Splinter Social

Guilty as charged!

Don't people ever charge their phone?

That's not even low. Running for the charger at the other end of the house on 0% with power saving mode is one of the few thrills I have left in life.

Discord is the least worst option to migrate to, if it comes to it.

There isn't anything else really (but happy to be challenged on that)

I used to absolutely love Craigslist classifieds before Facebook marketplace stole its thunder. If Craigslist continues under this new bill, it could be a place to move forum classifieds to? Might work better than discord for the selling of used bike shite. I’m sad to see this go :,(

Sorry if I've missed something but why do we need Discord when we have this site - I don't undrstand?

OK, have now just seen the relevant thread :(

Can't join, none of the links works 😭

Or am I just being old?

are you on a VPN? can't join on one... the links do work

False alarm. Had to sign out + sign in.

Also, I'm old

Also, I'm old

Ah, welcome to the club... that'll be most of us nowadays

Erm, clicking any of those links and then clicking on the invite button gives the following message: ‘Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid’.

Please explain (simply) how I can access the new site.

I get the “Safari cannot open” on a few sites.
Sometimes if I click on the page it opens anyway.

Install the Discord app, and "Join server" using a link in the first post

I can’t see an option (because I really can’t get my head around discord) but can you use different names on different channels?
On Brixton CC discord we have to use our real names not nicknames, will I appear on LFGUSS discord as myself or Dibble.

I’m worried you will find out I’m actually Michael Gove…

(This is obviously a lie as Govey might struggle on a Brixton intro ride and he is actually a member of D

You can have different nicknames per server.

Edit to add a picture explaining how.
