That’s awesome, congratulations to you too!

It’s our first wedding anniversary today and we agreed no pranks so we could relax and enjoy it. Not that either of us are the pranking type anyway really, but better to agree it out loud 😄

I remember posting this question just after the Reddit exodus so went back to look at my stats from back then. According to the post I’d been on Lemmy for 12 days and had subscribed to:

• 121 Lemmy communities
• 42 Kbin magazines
• 163 total

That was just on this account though, and I have two accounts with fairly different feeds. So let’s say I was probably on a total of around 180-200 then across both accounts, and have been adding them at a slow but steady rate

That gives us a scientifically sound estimate of my current total subscriptions: a lot.

I can only speak for how it shows up on Mastodon, but over there any hashtags we try and add here just show up as plain text and don’t show in the actual tag feed, so it does nothing for discoverability.

Ooh what are you on with atm? I’m embroiled in a minimalist city builder thing and just got to the part where I need to learn to animate things, which I have been full-on dreading.

I could’ve written this comment word for word. It really does make things a lot easier to just be direct, being able to do this is one of the very few outright advantages of our non-standard brains imo!

UK answer: city 100% no question.

Being able to actually get places and do things and have people to do those things with, I don’t even know how a small town could ever compare. Grew up in one, currently living in another one, both crap.

Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.

!nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works is for exactly this!

Interesting! Tbf there is very little going on in our small town, a cult might spice things up a bit.

If you’re the first person from your instance to subscribe to that community, you’ll only see new posts. If there is a particular post or comment you want to reply to, though, you can grab the URL and put it into your instance’s search box to sort of force it to federate across.

This kind of nonsense is the reason I’ve not been to a hairdresser since I was 16. Which is both a) a very long time ago and b) readily apparent just by looking at me.

Unless “abroad” is in one or both of those directions 🤔

See below!

My attempt was underwhelming, how about yours?

I am not a morning person! It takes time for me to wake up and articulate science!

But I have tested this, and have to say it doesn’t really seem to have made any difference? Maybe slightly less bitter, but maybe that’s just placebo. Not that I have a problem with making overly-bitter tea in the first place, maybe this so-called scientist squeezes their teabag like in the photo and that’s why it needed fixing to begin with.

The article is pretty vague on the correct amount to use so it’s also possible I didn’t do it right 🤷‍♀️

Well if nobody else is brave enough to try it, I’ll give it a go in the morning and report back. Never let it be said that I shy away from a good bit of sciencing!

Shoutout to !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world for saving us when Liftoff went under.

Just woke up to this news. Poor Bills Mafia, fate is a cruel mistress.

As one of those people who is struggling a bit: Never let the state of the rest of the world stop you from celebrating your own wins!

Congrats on the raise, that is really awesome. Remember to put a decent chunk into savings :D
