https://old.reddit.com/ is still working fine for me.
If Lemmy would pick up some more content about RVs and sailing I would leave there but meanwhile the old way still works.
Hey man! I just bought a used travel trailer. I pick it up in a week and a half. We still have to sit down with the sales guy for the final extended warranty pitch. Two questions:
Are the extended warranties offered by the dealership worth it? I would assume anything major that goes wrong will happen on the road and i'll be stuck getting repairs done in Iowa or some shit.
Do you have any experience with harvest hosts? Is it easy to use and worth the cost? Hows the host availability.
I got a 21ft geo pro. Probably too big for a lot of boondocking, but i still plan to boondock it as much as possible. I dont love the idea of always being at KOAs and such.
Not in my opinion but it depends how you’ll be using the trailer. The thing people don’t expect is that warranty work gets last priority. When you bring in the trailer for warranty work, there is no new revenue for the dealership. So the trailer will just sit there on the lot, possibly for months, waiting until the repair guys have literally nothing else to do, before they will actually start work on it.
This is super unprofessional but seems to be the industry norm.
If you’re only going to use the trailer a couple times a year maybe this is fine, but if you use it a lot and you need to be back on the road fast then it makes the warranty basically unusable.
Plus also what you said, unless you bought from a national dealer the warranty will not help you with emergency roadside stuff. But mostly when things break it won’t stop you from towing the trailer — you would just finish your vacation with no refrigerator or whatever which is annoying but not fatal.
I live in mine full-time. When things break that I can’t fix myself my first choice is a mobile tech so I don’t have to get a hotel while they fix it.
No, I haven’t tried it. Some people seem to like it a lot, other people complain. 🤷
21’ is not too big for boondocking. The thing about boondocking is you have to somehow know where to find a good spot. iOverlander website is good for that. Out west, especially in the desert, there are lots of places on public land where there is a usable gravel road with big cleared sites that anyone can get to in any size RV. Other places where it rains more, not so much — tight twisty potholed dirt roads through the forest with little carve-out spots between trees are not good for big setups. Regional parks, state parks, natural forest parks, and national parks are often pretty awesome. There’s also a lot of RV parks out in the middle of nowhere that can be super nice and park-y — shout out to La Conner thousand trails in WA, Pacific City thousand trails in OR, “The Narrows” in Maine — but very hit or miss; some are just a parking lot, too. KOA is convenient and consistent but expensive. We use them when they’re the closest campground to someplace we want to be visiting (just got out of three days at KOA near my sister in law) but yeah if you like boondocking then KOA will not be a fun destination for you.
Good luck, have fun, don’t cheap out on the hose you use for dumping your black tank.
Thanks a bunch for the words of wisdom.
In terms of not having niche communities on Lemmy, I think it's the Field of Dreams situation -- but im generally too lazy to build it.
Yeah came to say the same. I have a few subreddits I still lurk in because lemmy doesn't have the largest communities on that topic yet. I imagine it is only a matter of time before old reddit is gone.
i lurk on youtubers fan subs, the ones that arnt controlled by youtubers themselves(to deflect criticism)
How much are you posting about RVs and sailing on Lemmy?
We can yell into the abyss all we want, but the abyss isn't yelling back.
I made a couple baseball buddies on Lemmy. Niche communities on Lemmy aren't pointless.
The birding community is active enough for me. Honestly, I dont want modern day reddit experience in my niche communities. Theyre... Disrespectful? Lots of armchair experts who parrot internet takes and philosophies to get massive upvotes, and the hive mind mentality downvotes counter perspective. I love fly fishing, but damn do I hate the fly fishing subreddits.
I'll agree to that. Hobby communities on reddit are typically newbies repeating information they read elsewhere on repeat. I've been playing high level hockey since I was a kid and I'll take a peak at the hockey players subreddit. I saw a guy who had been playing for a year telling someone who was brand new to the sport about kick points on a stick. This guy will never reach a level where kick points are something that will affect your shot, but he's out here giving advice.
Don't even get me started on the cycling subreddit.
I'll agree to that. It's just the first part where you are the only person sucks. Specifically with local communities.
I'm ok with expressing my opinions into the void on Lemmy and nobody listening. They weren't actually listening on reddit anyway.
Very valid point.
Our niche interest communities are slowly being formed on the Fediverse, but if nobody participates then 🤷🏼♀️
Yep, I remember when I first joined Lemmy, you'd be lucky if your post got 2 comments. I recently posted on a car group here and got about as much engagement as I would have on r*ddit.
I like it here, I like our community. Feels like a comic con in a small city. "I wish people at this con would talk about Squirrel Girl" maybe you should set up a booth. Same applies here.

Wtf does censoring it do?
Ever tried getting the stick removed from your ass?
You could answer the question
But if you yell into the abyss this may cause someone to yell back
That's how I met my friend Mephistopheles Mammon when I was in the Parisian catacombs. Dude owes me $50.
Agreed. I was all confused AF until I realized that people don’t automatically use it, or using the auto-redirect apps that help prevent New Reddit from ever showing its face.
It only works on some things. You'll still get the pop-up sometimes, even through old.
