    Used to be worse, to quote messers Pratchett & Gaimon.

    "NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee.

    It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system

    Two farthings = One Ha’penny. Two ha’pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). Once Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

    The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."

    Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett



  • I had this yesterday but manages to figure out my problem last night.

    It seems that when you first signup you’re give what is effectively read-only (or guest) access to Lemmy via Lemmey.World - this is so you can see what instaces exist ans which you’d want to join.

    Once you join an instance, in my case sopuli, you need to log into that instance on your app and run your searches etc.

    Liftoff (app i use) allows me to search from L.W or sopuli, if i search from L.W i can’t interact with anything, if i search from sepuli I’m able to post confusing answers!
