I don't understand the "slowly" part at all. I joined Lemmy about a month ago when Reddit third party apps went dark. Lemmy was largely a ghost town then, with most of the relatively mainstream communities I sought out having newest posts that were days or even weeks old. That desolation was gone after the first few days, with a ton more engagement from others who migrated over and a steady stream of new content. The communities I frequent have grown by leaps and bounds since then. "Slow" isn't a word I'd use to describe Lemmy's growth.

I moved into my condo in 2010. The bathroom includes a vanity mirror with 6 incandescent bulbs over it. I only have 3 on at any given time since all 6 on at the same time is annoyingly bright. I want to replace them but it seems wasteful to chuck them in the garbage when they still work.

Niagara with a few minor settings tweaks.

Amen. Not so much an issue for 40 year old me but I had so many friends in my younger days who didn't own one because they didn't think they needed it...until they needed it.

Somebody mentioned Dr. Pimple Popper to me recently and I thought they were making up an over-the-top fake reality show title. Imagine my shock when I found out that it was a real show. There's a reason I haven't watched anything aside from sports on network/cable TV in years.

Happy for Infinity users. Legacy Reddit third party app users are feasting in the past couple of days with those apps moving over to Lemmy.

My cat used to do this pretty frequently. He wasn't typically much of a lap cat but it always made me happy when he did it.

You realize this means you can never get rid of that box, right?

No joke, I felt like a luddite after trying to click the "X" in the upper right of an embedded tweet to close it earlier this afternoon on my laptop.

Whoa, I didn't even notice that the community keyword search actually worked and does so across instances. Thanks for the heads up!
