I stopped drinking alcohol some years ago. Before that I hardly consumed any alcohol at all for many years, but in my college years and maybe some years after that, I drank socially like “everybody else”. But I gradually kind of got tired of dealing with the bad feelings (physical and emotional), so I drank less and less....
Here I will pin a list of recommendations for software. Getting started can be daunting, and it’d be great to pull that information together here for newcomers so they can take practical steps to degoogle their lives....
Fml the sun’s about to come up and I still can’t fall asleep. Dear Brain, please shut up....
Lemmy appears to use more data than Reddit, so I’m thinking that maybe the images I see while scrolling are full sized instead of smaller previews. Anyone can confirm?
Going back to the Old Ways, but I’m having trouble finding up to date news links. Many lists seem to be outdated and crash into paywalls or are just broken.
I’m conducting some research on the health insurance market and am particularly interested in the experience of immigrants....
Unsure if babies can form memories ages 1-2, my oldest memory is from around age 3. They do learn words when they are around 1 year old, so there must be some capacity for memory? What is going on there?
I just had to report something to the police that will probably end a very close friendship of mine, but it was something that was totally not okay and I had to do it. But I still feel like a piece of shit for it. Have you ever felt like this and how did you get through it?
I have aspd (antisocial personality disorder). Wondering if there are any other cluster b bvi people, specifically aspd or npd.
How many people in the US have “been on tv”. There Isaacs got in my hometown who’s whole identity is that he was a contestant on a committe cooking show. I’m trying to gauge how common it is for a random person that you might meet at a bar to have been on TV. By this I mean:...
What the title says. I’m basically curious if the posts will be locked like on Reddit or if it will be possible to add comments to old posts (a feature which I missed on Reddit).
I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.
What is the difference between “hot” “top” and “active”? Both “New” and “old” make total sense but i have never been able to figure the others out
As a hypothetical, say it became easy to grab water from objects in space and then move it places that needed (Africa / the gulf). What would the end results be for the global climate over time? Would you just end up with a flooded earth? Would temperatures rise or fall as time goes on?
Hi! There’s a baby bird in my yard. It’s about the size of my fist. It has a few short white feathers. I think they’re pin feathers. The nest is too high for me to reach; so I left it alone on the ground....
I’ve noticed that most people here are ex-redditors, migrating due to the API changes and u/spez’s problematic leadership. I’m wondering, though, how many people here use Lemmy despite never using Reddit?...

I’d like to know of alternatives to Grindz for cleaning burr coffee grinders. I used to clean my blade grinder, by grinding stale bread. It worked well, but I don’t want to trash my burr grinder....
My pick would be, dealing with the ‘wild west’ atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.
I’m looking for communities or magazines for technical/professional writers. Please let me know if you’re aware of any. :)
I am very green when it comes to private trackers, but understand there are strict expectations on members in terms of seed ratios, etc....
Since Yelp lets businesses pay to revise reviews and advertise for top results, I was wondering if there were any good open source/non-monetized review sites or apps that people have tried out? I usually compare to google reviews and read some of the top reviews to try and filter out the junk, but I know I’m still getting...
I keep seeing people comment that Lemmy is mostly men in their 20s and 30s. That’s not my demo and many of the posts/comments i see don’t seem to fit that.
Let us know what you’re cooking and eating this week!...
