    I’m not from US.

    Wow interesting! But did you get the shirt in the US, or was that somewhere else too?

    I find it really fascinating that this shirt clearly meant a lot to someone, so they kept it all these years, but then still decided to get rid of it, yet without just thrashing it, AND then even in a different country/continent!

    (I hope they didn’t just forget it in a hotel, which then decided to make a few bucks…)

    The first date on the back is Halloween, so that’s clearly where the inspiration for the design comes from.

    I don’t think you’ll find anything directly on the internet. The most promising approach would probably be to find a wedding registry in Buffalo NY and then look for October 31st 2009.

    Boston and maybe even Essex could have been for visiting relatives/friends (or they initially met each other in Essex and wanted to re-visit that place too?); Qatar might just have been a layover for flying to the Maldives where the honeymoon finally took place. (Maybe November 28th was the last day and they decided to print that in order to frame the whole journey with start and end dates.)

    I found the same skeleton on this T-Shirt: KKUP Radio 91.5 FM The Grateful Dead Marathon 2013, I can’t find the original artist, it could be that this was a stock image that was readily available for T-shirt printing.

    I have no experience with Element, as far as I can tell it’s a client for Matrix, which is not directly connected to Lemmy.

    What I found was this post. Apparently lemmy.world has Matrix support in addition to Lemmy itself.

    This can be a bit confusing since both apparently use “lemmy.world”, but I don’t think Lemmy and Matrix are connected directly (as in synced). And that’s why you can find lemmy.world with Element, but can’t see Lemmy stuff with your Matrix login.

    Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

    I try to explain this in a structured way, so that you hopefully don’t feel too overwhelmed. Feel free to ask if something doesn’t make sense.

    Lemmy

    Lemmy is like e-Mail, there are multiple websites where you can make an account, but you can still communicate/participate with users from other sites. (This is called decentralisation.)

    Instance

    An instance is a website that you use for logging in to Lemmy. You only need an account on one website to participate (e.g. writing posts/comments) in Lemmy.

    So, since you already have an account, that means you already have chosen an instance, it’s lemmy.world.

    Community

    Like users, communities can be created on different instances. There can even be a community with the same name on two different instances.

    For example:

    These communities can still be accessed on your instance, they are all synced. (With some exceptions which I’m not going into right now.)

    How to participate in communities of your instance

    1. Go to your instance (lemmy.world)
    2. Log in
    3. Go to the community you want to participate in (lemmy.world/c/Autism)
    4. You don’t need to “join” a community, but you can subscribe, so that new posts show up in your feed

    How to participate in other instances

    1. Go to your instance (lemmy.world)
    2. Log in
    3. Go to the community you want to participate in but add the instance to the back like this: lemmy.world/c/autism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
    4. You don’t need to “join” a community, but you can subscribe, so that new posts show up in your feed

    So in summary it’s the same Aso for communities of your instance, just make sure to always start/login on your instance.

    Direct links

    Since constructing the URL like described above is quite annoying, Lemmy can use special links that work across all instances. They are as follows:

    Apps

    There exist many Lemmy apps. They can facilitate things (especially when you want to browse on your phone), but this also means that the look&feel is different. Some step by step guides might not work exactly the same on different apps.
