I'm still trying to figure it out myself. But I like the new adventure, and interestingly it feels like more is happening here than, er, elsewhere.

You might also want to try out Post.News, which is a new platform (in beta) but seems potentially promising. It was created by the founder of Waze. It's focused on being \"A Social Platform for Real People, Real News, and Civil Conversations\" There is a waiting list, but if you sign up, you should get in before too long.

It looks liked we have the advanced web interface enabled. But then when we go to Notifications, it says nothing about desktop notifications. A little perplexed.

Should the button the turns off the sound live on the page with this url? /settings/preferences/notifications

Or another page?
