I'll keep adding to these, but for now:

Fediverse Instances/Servers I've Tried (so far) - ikklegemz.net/blog/2026/01/04/…

Time for an intro update!

Hi all, I'm Gem (Ikkle Gemz).

I'm a disabled female & I love Disney, anime, Japanese & Korean stuff, cats, KDramas, Neighbours, tech, gaming & more. I also love the Fediverse & checking out new servers/instances & run a few of my own. I've also discovered an interest in privacy products

I'm also on here using variations of my nickname. Some I don't use as much now that I have my own instances/servers.

Feel free to ask questions.

My next project is migrating my old Windows 10 desktop to Linux. I'm pretty OS agnostic (my laptop is Win 11), but the fact that this otherwise capable hardware won't run Win 11, combined with steady injections of adverts and dumb AI features into Windows is making Linux an attractive option. I just need to have some chunks of free time to work out final details and perform the migration.
