6·1 year agoTwo websites that I use quite a lot to find cool personal blogs/RSS feeds:
- Ye olde blogroll is a hand-curated list of interesting personal blogs in English
- The IndieWeb webring is a webring where people with indie blogs (ie. no substacks, no big websites, etc.) can sign up to get more visibility, it’s a real treasure trove
Signal >>>>>>>> WhatsApp > texting > Telegram >>>>>>> Messenger.

mina le’s videos are always so good!
1·1 year agoMusic: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it’s basic but it does what I need from it.
Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that’s gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don’t listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.
You should post here: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
This is not a technical support community.
(but also i’ve had the same issue since the last lemmy update, i suppose a bug made its way in there.)
Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can’t properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.
My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.
I really liked this read! I blog, and I like my blog, but sometimes get stressed out because I feel like nobody’s reading it (I’ve removed all analytics on purpose because I used to get obsessed with them). Blogging for the simple act of blogging, and not for engagement, is the best!

9·1 year agoHomemade burgers are healthy. The problem is the absurd amount of salt and low-quality fats that restaurants put in their food.
you’ve been an absolutely wonderful admin. please take all the time you need and come back when you’re ready, if you’re ready; don’t come back too soon and burn out again. take care!
3·1 year agoI work in a tech role for a big tech company, so at first glance, not much. I like to believe that I’m good at planning stuff and figuring out how many hours by how many people it should take, which is a good skill for all kinds of issues.
1·1 year agoI’ve seen a couple of really ugly comments recently, where a mod had replied, and I had to click on the person (wanting to block them) to realize they had been banned. I really hope a future Lemmy update shows very clearly when that happens, because right now it just looks like we’re leaving the comment up. LEaving the comment up but showing the user as banned would be a relatively okay middle ground, I think.
01·1 year agoAs said above, likes are virtually useless. They’re more like “noticeable bookmarks”. Mastodon etiquette is to boost rather than like, if you enjoy a toot, and that’s also how it was when the Twitter timeline was chronological and didn’t include likes, a very long time ago.
1·1 year ago- For my Mastodon feed, so I don’t have to open yet another app
- For my Youtube and Nebula subscriptions, same
- For a few FB pages & others that post events, same
- For my Lemmy feed, same
- For all my news feeds (curated, usually) for a quick look at everything
- For my friends’ posts so I know I won’t miss a single one
I currently use the premium plan for Inoreader. I like tinyRSS, just didn’t do it for me; I’ve been using RSS since Google Reader.
For RSS feed recommendations you can also take inspiration from this post: https://beehaw.org/post/618286
that’s really cool, thanks!
For tech zeroes like me, this is what I did:
- Install Python
- Download ZIP (top-right corner of the linked Github file)
- Extract the .py file from the ZIP
- Double-click the .py file
Being LGBTQ+, or not white, or not a man, or disabled.
Some personal blogs that I like (mine included), all of them are indie and as far as I know they all are maintained by a single person (so they don’t post several times a day!):
