Cacti/succulents and wine (the fermented grape juice one, not the linux one). There are cactus and succulent communities in Lemmy, but they’re not very active, and wine ones are completely dead…

TimewornTraveler,

if anyone links me to one ill post stuff

Which one? For cacti there’s !cactus, for succulents we have !succulents, and I couldn’t find any wine ones with more like 10 posts.

bstix, in What salary do you think would make you happy?

I don’t care about the income. It’s the costs are killing me. If I could live without costs, that’d make me happy.

intensely_human,

With income you can nullify those costs.

Pronell, in Whats this on my dog?

My vet tech wife believes you’re correct, a cyst or blocked gland and nothing to worry about. Keep an eye on it to be safe. Def not a tick.

nieminen,

Appreciate the comment, another commenter mentioned parasitic fly. And to me it looks exactly like the butt end of a botfly larvae, and the shape under the skin seems to match too. Does your wife have any experience with that or think this could potentially be the culprit? Gonna try smothering with something unbreathable as soon as I can either way.

Bennettiquette, (edited )

armchair speculations: have you watched any videos of botflies? they are responsive to stimulation and will retreat inside when touched. if your puppers fleshy bit is inactive, i’d wager some kind of sebum growth.

Looked like either a rupturing cyst or maybe a skin tag. I wouldn’t think it’s anything serious but I will always recommend having a vet check it. Imo it’s likely nothing but I’m also not a trained vet.

Actually could be the breathing asshole of a parasitic fly larvae. Put some petroleum jelly over it in a thick layer and see if whatever it is crawls out.

nieminen,

Oooo thanks. Looking into that.

nieminen,

Holy shit, looks almost exactly like a botfly… Going to try this for sure… Don’t think I have any jelly. I’ll see what I have on hand.

SkyezOpen,

Gf seconding botfly. Looks like you caught it early. Smothering might work but she recommends vet because those suckers can get bulbous and cause an abscess.

nieminen,

Yeah kinda thinking the same (going to the vet), don’t want to cause it to be worse. I just moved and haven’t found a vet yet. I’ll try and get him to one as soon as possible, thanks for the input!

seathru,

3rding possible botfly. The wound looks a lot like the one my cat had.

Warning: gross botfly wound

nieminen,

He is 10 years old. I’m sure cysts are gonna be pretty common at this point.

The weather. Be it local weather discussion pages, country etc. especially for big events.

TimewornTraveler, (edited )

oh man there was one awesome subreddit for weather gifs, I forget the name but it would be great to have it here

Linux and Star Trek memes. I just don’t see them enough.

Hmm, you might like this one website – I think it was called Lemmy.

someguy3,

Would you like me to say “and my axe”?

gregorum, in Whats this on my dog?

Go to a vet if you’re concerned. The internet is a bad place for medical advice.

nieminen,

I agree, just checking first to see if anyone else has seen this before.

sentient_loom, in Whats this on my dog?
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Could it be a tick? Look up pictures of ticks in animals and see how it compares (I’m not looking it up because it’s too gross lol).

LinkOpensChest_wav,

My dogs have had ticks. It doesn’t look like a tick to me.

nieminen,

Agreed, and he’s on flea/tick meds. Have never found a live one on him

nieminen,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m pretty familiar with ticks, I’m confident this isn’t that.

There is not much Lemmy communities for discussion specific/centered around specific entertainment media (video games, anime & manga, web videos, etc)

Back when I’m still on Reddit, I’m used to lurking around a lot of these kind of communities on that site. Community centered around video game franchise like The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog, content creators like Linus Tech Tips and Hololive, and even some niche topics like Windows 10 LTSC and Otonokizaka

Those kinds of subreddits simply doesn’t have any equivalent in Lemmy, and even if it did, it is far far more inactive compared to its Reddit counterpart. To me that is one of the biggest problem with Lemmy right now and kinda could be a reason why there is still many user who sticked into Reddit and does not 100% migrated to Lemmy.

WanderingVentra, (edited )

I’m pretty sure the hololive community is active here.

It’s also a pretty self fulfilling prophecy but I get what you’re saying. Hopefully the new scaling sort gets more popular as instances upgrade to 0.19. I’ve seen so many more smaller communities since I’ve started browsing by that.

Even league of legends, a huge game worldwide, barely has a community here.

Otherwise_Direction7, (edited )

Did you mean the lemmy.world/c/hololive community?

Yeah I do aware that there is a Lemmy alternative to the Hololive subreddit, but the amount of active users and content available there is still aren’t enough to consider it a viable replacement for its Reddit counterpart

Agreed completely. I still have to go back to Reddit regularly becuase its the only place for discussion for a lot of my interests. For example, War Thunder, despite being a massive game, only gets a post or two a month here (all recent ones by me) and zero activity beyond that. I can’t even go to the forum, because they ban anyone who criticizes the game or says anything they disagree with. That leaves me with just Reddit, so I’m stuck going back regularly.

Have tried posting about an alternative forum on Reddit, that allows third party apps? I’ve done that after messaging the mods in some communities, some of them were quite receptive

Shameless plug in coming… !coververse

More than just cover songs; we also try to find covers where the original has been re-imagined or adapted. If you think you might like some genre-bending in your life, come check us out

Thanks for the kind words!

Big words only :)

Nemo,

I think you mean “sesquipedalian vocabulary”

Camzing,

excellent

Camzing,

i should have included that in the title ha

Fondling my balls, I feel like not enough people are willing to give it a try. It’s free, it feels good, and it’ll relieve stress, I don’t know why I’m in jail for offering a gift like this to the world.

SuckMyWang,

I’ll give it a try. I lost my hands in a meat mincing accident when I was a baby. I have two high capacity hydraulic robotic clamps as replacements so I am quite interested to see if your method will relieve my ptsd

One of my personal favorites that doesn’t seem to get a lot of love yet is !bloomcounty It posts the comic in order as they came out in the 1980’s.

Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_County

It may not be everyones cup of tea, but I thought it was hilarious growing up, and still do.

qooqie,

It’s kind of interesting because some of those comics definitely didn’t age well, but it’s also like a time capsule of the thoughts from back in the 80s

NegentropicBoy, in Are Donald Trumps speeches nothing but largiloquent dithyrambs?

indubitably largiloquent

Camzing,

He get it!
