You don't happen to have USB-C Max, do you?

Just a thought. Those, AirPods 4, and of course Pro 2 are the only AirPods with rev 7 firmware. All other AirPods are on rev 6.

Both my AirPods (1st gen Pro and Lightning Max), which no longer have audiogram options in Custom Audio Setup since iOS 18.1, are all rev 6.

Odd that Apple would close a reported bug as “works as currently designed”.

Did you have it set up before upgrading? Wondering if that’s the key. I’m still on 18.1 RC, I have an audiogram stored, it doesn’t appear, and Custom Audio Setup doesn’t ask for one like it used to.

If I hit Custom Audio Setup on 18.1 I’m never prompted to select my audiogram from Health.

Have a look at https://instances.noct.zone/, a hand-curated list of a number of the more popular instances and their themes.

But really, you can join anywhere, don't think about it too hard. You can always follow anyone from anywhere. I have a very diverse follower/follow list, instance-wise.

You can search on #introductions and see a lot of people making often-hashtag-laden posts describing themselves.

While you're right that countries don't need permission to change their timekeeping, they should be fully informed of the technical trouble they're creating when they make changes.
