Lemmy.cafe is now the new official home of MealtimeVideos on the threadiverse!

Why did we move here?

The main benefit of the move is to allow the community to reach a wider audience, as some communities are defederated from Lemmy.world and miss out on all of the excellent videos you all post here. In particular, we believe it's been to our extreme detriment that the wonderful Beehaw community has been excluded from participating all this time (hi Beehaw! y'all should be able to read this post! 🐝)

Additionally, the sheer size of Lemmy.world can bring with it unintended consequences, the chief example of which is the lag time that smaller instances can sometimes experience when trying to interact with .World, with that lag time sometimes stretching into the days, or even weeks when things get really bad.

That's not to say it hasn't been an excellent home for us, and those issues are only an effect of their popularity and success. We are forever grateful to the Lemmy.world admins for hosting our community and allowing it to become what it is today. They are under the heaviest workload out of the entire threadiverse, and their efforts must be commended.

But in keeping with the spirit of decentralization, we felt it time to help spread the load, and to hopefully draw attention to this new smaller and cozy instance, which we hope will become another thriving community in our decentralized web of villages.

We also would like to give a tremendous thanks to Illecors for graciously allowing us to call his instance our home. Did us a solid, man. :)

Lastly, thank you to everyone that has contributed here. We look forward to seeing you here!

Amusing video exploring the origins of the term and the history preceding it.

In the hills of north Wales there is a great deal of archaeology. From standing stones, circles, cists and cairns, there is plenty to see today. However there is a type of stone used in the Neolithic that was clearly very important for its ability to be flaked. Its not flint, instead its a volcanic rock that could be flaked in the same way and ground into axe heads. These axe heads have been found hundreds of miles away from north Wales which demonstrates their high value.

This weird artifact from the sharpening that old camcorders apply to video creates a unique flying experience
