I've never heard of mujico, either positively or negatively. However, if your instance was blocked by my instance or by lemmy.ml, wouldn't I not be seeing this post?

So, what's your instance about? I'm intrigued!

In the context you've given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.

Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don't think that's accurate at all.

However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here... It's way, way more complicated than just "calories in/calories out". Even the extent to which it's unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people...

Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there's likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

Sounds like it's a date!

Northeast, but I travel southeast usually at least once a year! How's Lowe Mill in Huntsville sound for a fun date? 😉

I'm not like a huge fan of myself either, so there, we have a thing in common already lol

To all of the people whose reasons are something self-deprecating about their confidence/appearance/personality/etc:

I'll go on a date with you, if you want! ☺

I have voted twice a year, ever year, for the entire time I've been old enough. That said, I really can't remember the last time I actually expected any meaningful change from it... Electoralism is a bandaid at best, and a distraction at worst. At least in the U.S., maybe it's different elsewhere.

Aside from all the very valid criticisms everyone else has pointed out, there's one thing that always made it totally unusable for me... When you open the app, the very first thing it does is show your front-facing camera?? What kind of unhinged behavior is that, are they trying to ruin my day?!

The 40 hour work week was a goal set by people working way more brutal hours, not infrequently 7 days a week. People fought really hard for decades to change it, and when I say "fought" I mean literally. Many of them were murdered by the state or corporations for it. But they got there.

May I introduce you to the 4/4/4 movement?

 
 

So about half a year ago somebody posted about Faircamp, a self-hosted open source alt for Bandcamp. It's really awesome, but I thought people might also want to know about a new one called Mirlo. This one is also open source, so it could ostensibly be self-hosted if you wanted, but the main thing is that it's got this flagship hosted option. Very similar to the Bandcamp experience, from the musician side. No techy stuff required at all, so I think this one might be way more user friendly for non-tech savvy folks!

AFAIK, neither Faircamp nor Mirlo have integrated ActivityPub support yet, but it seems entirely possible. Both do currently support subscription via RSS. Honestly I kinda feel like both platforms should collaborate, if they aren't already!

Maybe they could even get hooked up with RadioFreeFedi and do like featured artists and stuff.

 

Sorry this isn't actually foraging per se, but the only kind of people who'd grow these are probably foragers anyway. I've been growing them for a couple years, but this is the first year I had enough to bother trying to eat them! From two plants we got about 1/2 a cup.

So my question is, does anyone have any tips for actually eating these things?? We tried soaking them for 24 hours and boiling them for 2 hours, and they were still inedibly bitter! I'm thinking maybe brining them, an alkaline soak, splitting them all in half, and/or swapping out the cooking water a few times. At least one of those ought to work hopefully. It'll have to wait till next year though, we wasted these ones lol.

 

Hopefully this kind of content is ok here. Up until recently, when I would be searching for some kind of technical info, the top (and best) results would usually all be Reddit posts. I was very pleasantly surprised to do that this time and find a Lemmy post instead!

...It did happen to be a post from me, so unfortunately didn't answer my question at all, but I still thought it was really neat and wanted to share. Has anyone else seen Lemmy stuff getting indexed and turning up in their search results?

 

Is there a Fediverse option for hosting fanfiction, or maybe web novels/serials/etc? Like an AO3 alternative, basically. I looked around but couldn't find one, the closest thing that kinda works are the blogging platforms like writefreely. If there isn't, do you think fanfiction would be a good candidate for federation?
