Maybe cross pollination? Many people have geraniums in the area and the bees likely carry the pollen everywhere

I also heard as a child that if a red geranium petal falls on the soil of a white geranium it can tint their flowers. But that sounds like a urban legend to me!

45

Both are grandchildren of a totally white geranium, children of a slightly red tinted one. Sprouted via seeds from their parents fruits.

I think they are gorgeous!

Since the Digg migration, when was that, 2010?

Since Reddit's APIcalypse the content of that site has gone to the drain. It is very clear that power users are no longer posting quality content. I am much more amused by Lemmy than Reddit nowadays, though it's true that it has that new car smell and the communities will keep growing and reforming from the Reddit ashes.

I don't think Reddit will disappear, but it's not the same site it was two months ago, that's a fact.

Like most people I stopped using libraries in the early 2000s with the advent of the internet. And up until recently I still used to buy or download books I wanted to read. But I've rediscovered local libraries and they're awesome. Since almost nobody uses them they have increased lending limits and most books are always available. You can basically enter the library with a box and fill it with books to take home and read. They now recognize me at the front desk and it's awesome.

As a user, I have 100% interest! I still use old.reddit and it's peak UI design. The feature I miss the most in Lemmy is "show images" to expand all thumbnails. Hopefully it can be deployed at SDF.

I agree with this interpretation too and it is an excellent simile.

If sdf defederates from big instances I will accept their decision but I will find another server.

I hope it doesn't. There is always time to defederate if something is going on.

Pretty decent for me. Located in western Europe

I am subscribed to multiple communities from Lemmy.ml without issue.

I agree that it can be problematic to see some weird stuff on All, but defederating is a red button that affects everybody in the instance, and I don't like that. I enjoy seeing new stuff, and people can use the "block" button liberally.

However it is true that Lemmy still lacks some fine grained controls for users. I am positive that they will be implemented soon, so meanwhile we are living in this very early transition period where random shit can and will appear on our All page and we need to live with it (or use block a lot)
