Multi-accounting to force in a Gadsden flag
  • Yeah and the swastika was originally a Buddhist symbol, but when a nazi uses it I’m gonna disapprove.

    I think you might be assuming that OP doesn’t know the history, when they really seem to understand how/why it’s being used in the current context.

  • Advice for growing Irish moss in the Seattle area?

    I hope this isn’t too off-topic for this community. I also posted this in !greenspace@beehaw.org so sorry to spam but I’m not sure which is the best place…

    I have an old grass patch that I want to replace with Irish moss. Would love some advice on how!

    Location: Seattle, USA.

    Space: 15x12 foot section, partly under a laurel and a deciduous tree.

    Soil: I’m not at all knowledgeable about soil, but heres what I know… It was originally just dirt with a on old lilac in it, then the lilac was replaced by grass, then 95% of the grass died during a construction project last year. Now it’s hard-packed soil and random tufts. It gets a small amount of leaves and other debris from the trees above it.

    Sunlight: Direct sun for about half the day, then shaded by a house. Sunnier at one end than the other.

    Questions:

    1. What organic material (if any) should I use to condition the soil? How should I apply it?
    2. I’ve read that 5-5-5 NPK fertilizer is good for Irish moss, but also that too much nitrogen is bad. Should I go lower nitrogen? How much fertilizer anyway?
    3. How often should I water? How thoroughly?
    4. I bought a small number of plugs to experiment in one corner before going all out. What’s the best way to fill in between them with seeds?

    Some annoying bugs
  • Sometimes local subscribers is nice to know. Maybe not more important than total subscribers, but useful nonetheless. Especially on a small/specific instance where you get to know your instance-mates, you might want to know how many of them are following a thing and whether you’re about to introduce them to something entirely new.

  • How many communities are there across all of Lemmy?

    I don’t even know how to begin to figure this out. How many communities are there across every instance (or even just among those that are federated at all)?

    What are the most mindblowing things in mathematics?
  • The four-color theorem is pretty cool.

    You can take any map of anything and color it in using only four colors so that no adjacent “countries” are the same color. Often it can be done with three!

    Maybe not the most mind blowing but it’s neat.

  • Standing my ground on going back to the office
  • I guess it depends how much you like your job/employer. It’s clear that the added time with your family is a really high value, which I can strongly relate to.

    If you really want to keep the job, maybe when it really comes down to it, you could compromise and do one day /week.

  • Various instances going offline lately. Is there a place that lists the current status of major instances?

    My other instance has been down for two days and I’m not sure where to go to see updates/discussion etc.

    After browsing this community I saw a few scattered posts reporting other instances going down.

    When Lemmy.World was down a week ago it was equally hard to find an explanation and/or a place to discuss what what happening.

    Is there a community or website dedicated to “instance x is down because y”?

    What data about me could Lemmy hackers steal?

    Theoretically speaking of course ;)

    If my home instance gets hacked, what’s the worst case scenario for my personal data?

    Is it bad Lemmy etiquette to “pollute” the All feed of a niche instance?

    I heard that the All feed aggregates content from all communities that instance members have subscribed to, meaning if I subscribe to a new community, it’ll start showing up in everyone else’s All feed.

    Let’s suppose I have an account on an instance with a particular thematic focus. Should I avoid subscribing to communities outside of that theme, in order to preserve the purity of their All feed?

    Is there a way to subscribe to all communities with the same name?

    Is it possible to automatically subscribe to all (federated) communities with the same name?

    Example in the screenshot: I want to follow !astronomy, and I don’t really care whether the content is coming from from Lemmy.World, kbin.social and mander.xyz - I just want to see it all.

    Obviously I could manually subscribe to them all, but is it possible to do so automatically? Ideally if a new similar community pops up on another instance, I wouldn’t miss it.

    I read here that community grouping is a thing, so that instances with identical communities can work together. Is that a feature that could work towards this end?

    Lets make a list: Parenting tips for babies 4-6 months

    I thought this would be a nice place to aggregate lists of miscellaneous parenting tips, organized by age. Maybe if this gathers lots of good input, I’ll post another age group in a few days. If nobody is into the idea, no big deal.

    Let’s start with babies 4-6 months old, since newborns are way to fucking complicated!

    Suggestion: post a single tip per comment, so people can up/downvote each tip, rather than long comments with lots of ideas. May the best advice float to the top!

    How do I donate to everyone working on Lemmy?

    Hello Lemmings!

    I understand that the developers of this wonderful world are living on donations right now. Communities that pay for themselves are nicer places!

    I found the donate link here (https://join-lemmy.org/donate), but that seems to go to just one developer. I would like to donate to everyone, including the creators of Lemmy as a whole, and the creators of Lemmy.World.

    How do I do that?

    Is the latest Twitter calamity driving significant users to Mastodon?

    Another day, another absurd melt down at Twitter.

    So far, Mastodon has been unable to attract a significant number of high-profile users (politicians, leading thinkers/creators of various fields, celebrities etc). In my lay opinion, it won’t truly replace Twitter unless it does.

    But today’s news of rate-limiting and self-DDOSing seems even more insane than before.

    Is it having an effect? Are notable public figures moving? Are the numbers up?

    I ask this out of genuine curiosity, with no other motive!

    What is the single worst thing about the API changes?

    First of all, I post this as someone who is only modestly informed about the whole situation. I’m a casual user who moved here from Reddit mostly because of the blackout and I don’t have a super strong opinion about any of it.

    I’m curious to learn though! Part of my curiosity is in the title - what’s the single worst thing the API changes have done (or will do)? Is it that they priced out Apollo? Is there another big third party app that’s getting killed?

    How do I use Ice Cubes (iOS app) for Lemmy.World?

    I read somewhere in here that other fediverse apps like Ice Cubes should be able to access Lemmy.World content to give one an experience similar to the Reddit app. I have Ice Cubes already for viewing mastodon posts and it works ok.

    When I tried adding my account in Ice Cubes, it asked for an Instance URL.

    I entered Lemmy.World and got the message “This instance is not currently supported”. Am I misunderstanding something, or is this not possible?
