This is effectively saying, “This article is correct but for the wrong reasons”. People aren’t angry about why hundreds of migrants dying isn’t newsworthy. They’re angry that it’s not newsworthy.

I’m frankly surprised that not enough people find it disgusting that the EU passively killing hundreds of refugees is less interesting because the EU does so regularly.

Oh nice thanks!

Amazingggg, never thought of the YouTube use case, I’m gonna try it myself. I’ve been using NewPipe and Libretube, but they just don’t cut it for me hahaha.

Yep, the UI can be a bit tricky. If I swipe a few times it usually figures out that I’m trying to refresh, and does so.

My thoughts exactly! I plan to use Native Alpha mostly to give the devs ample time to improve Jerboa, and will eventually jump ship (I think)

On mobile website, just click the hamburger menu from the top right and click “Create Community”!

Oh nice, I’ll try this too!

I think you’re right in that the structure is confusing. Personally, I think it’s less confusing than it is “novel”. Like in a world where the fediverse was the norm, centralised apps would’ve been confusing.

Either which way, I think you’re correct – part of it is because we don’t really have a good analogy for how this whole thing works.

This is how I see it: Lemmy is like a house party hosted in a huge venue that has hundreds of doors (i.e. instances). The doors have some slight differences (maybe some are huge, some are tiny, some have bouncers, some let you bring your own costumes etc). But for the most part, it doesn’t really matter what door you enter the party through, as all doors open into the same common space.

However, the door you choose does make you physically closer to one cluster of people than the rest of the party. That’s how I see the “local” filter. But if you’re just interested in getting into the party asap, just pick any instance and join.

This still isn’t a perfect analogy though – if a door shuts down, you don’t magically disappear from the party. But if an instance goes down, you do. Still, for the uninitiated, I feel like this is a sensible enough analogy.

I think I’m going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I’ve been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.

Just is a good one

Welcome!! Bring you friends too!

Sadly not!

Hey! You can also post this to !beatles@sopuli.xyz if you fancy :)

49 rapes by ONE cop. Never forget.

I want to say this makes me happy but who am I kidding, the Met’s obviously saying this to justify demanding more police funding.

Thanks – especially for the tip about them looking ‘leggy’! Thankfully I’ve got a good windowsill that gets a lot of sun, so I’m hoping they’ll thrive (over the summer, at least).

EDIT: And yep, strangely enough, there are only 3 comments here (6 now, including my replies to each of them), but the text below my post says there’s 20 comments in total…strange?

You’re a godsend!! Just one question – any tips on nitrogen-dense fertilizers? In the past I’ve used coffee grounds as a generic fertilizer, but not sure if they’re dense on N, P or K.

I’m about to head and buy some pots + soil, feeling very reassured, thanks!!

Oh my god, this is extremely helpful – thanks a lot!! Just a question about your third point, by ‘feed’ do you mean water or fertilizer? I’m assuming fertilizer?

Cheers! Fwiw, here’s a list of compatible desktops from the libreboot website:

• Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard
• Acer G43T-AM3
• Intel D510MO and D410PT motherboards
• Apple iMac 5,2
• HP Elite 8200 SFF (HP 6200 Pro Business probably works too)
