A post over at YSK talked about flossing, and mentioned water picks....

Not having to use toilet paper sounds pretty convenient.

i’ve always managed to avoid wasps by standing still. they hover around for a bit and move on. however, i’m curious if there are other, safer ways to not get bit.

Hello comrades! I figured I might have a bit more scientific responses here than Reddit, or maybe the same. So, for the longest damn time, I was really into adaptogenic teas, it gave me a bit of a buzz but in a good way. More focused I should say. I also have autism, and I tried a cordyceps tea and I didn’t feel as autistic...

A stranger once shared food with me and talked me down from fear when a snow squall stranded us at the peak of a hike. I think often about this person’s willingness to help and how it completely transformed that experience.

It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever

Hello! We've reached 15k members (afaik we're still the largest community on lemmy). It's a lot for only a couple people, though there is admin support....

I’m really enjoying lemmy. I think we’ve got some growing pains in UI/UX and we’re missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn’t going to be free....

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Say what you will about reddit, at least an established subreddit was the place to gather on the topic, ie r/technology etc....

I imagine there’s excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too....

First of, I’m not entirely sure they are the same to be honest, sometimes I see discuss.site-a.com while others it’s discourse.site-b.com?...

What are active users seen in pages like fedidb.org? What constitutes an active user - login, upvote, comment, post? Thanks!

I have no idea where it came from. Can fimd any settings to remove it, and it opens the developer console when i clixk it. Thanks in asvance for the help.

When searching for communities, can you filter for specific names or by size of the community? Here is what I have when trying to identify communities in the default UI:...

Sorry if this isn’t the correct place to report this I will delete and move it to correct place if provided....

hey there...

I chose my instance 9 or so months ago purely because it was suggested by the Jerboa app at the time. In lieu of making numerous accounts to access communities that aren’t federated with my instance, I was hoping to make a second account with a very “federated” instance. Any suggestions?...

I still use Font Renamer to manage my font collection. It works great but hasn’t received an update since 2008. Even the website looks straight out of the Windows XP era.

The arguments I’ve heard about tracking etc are misguided and don’t understand the actual risks....

I loved the stories. Is there a community for horror-stories?
