Always be willing to walk away, or you are working for free for somebody else's profit. If it isn't fun, quit.
Yeah its weird that people keep talking about "Reddit's content" when they haven't created shit. At least Slashdot has always said "These comments are owned by whoever wrote them"
Not that slashdot hasn't become crap, but it's something.
"Nobody goes there anymore, its too crowded."
Really, though. What's the point of contributing to a thread that already has hundreds of top level posts. Something new and fresh is worth a try.
Creating sublemmies hangs forever it seems. I was able to create one on day one of the reckoning, but not anymore.
Also, I thought Lemmy was broken but for whatever reason it performs badly in Firefox but Chrome works okay. I don't like this because I hate Chrome/Google but it isn't clear what the issue is in Firefox. I have NoScript, Ublock, etc. there so likely plugins
They hatched a year ago, the babies are now adults and taking over my landscaping!
This was from last spring. The robins have since grown up and have their own families now in "the big evergreen bush", while the peach tree is looking like a bumper crop this year!
This praying mantis must have just hatched. I leave my container trees outside during the warm months and always end up with a few mantis egg sacks, the babies emerge in the greenhouse in mid winter (its hot in greenhouse)

This in-ground grafted 'El Bumpo' tree is 3-4 years old and requires regular pruning to avoid hitting the greenhouse ceiling, but has yet to produce any fruitlets until now. Cherimoya unfortunately requires hand-pollination to set fruit, and even worse the flowers & pollen are only viable for a few hours... and I only even bother to try paintbrush pollination when I am already out there and see some fresh flowers.
If this fruit is not fantastic I'm digging this whole tree up and replacing with a Geffner atemoya I already have in a pot that is a better producer, without any hand pollination.
You may have heard that cherimoyas require hand-pollination, as they are only naturally pollinated by some beetle that clearly does not exist in my greenhouse in Pennsylvania. Not only do they require hand pollination, but the flowers and pollen are only viable for half a day or so. I am pretty lazy and only half-ass pollinate when I happen to be out there, so for three years I have had hundreds of flowers but no fruit. For the first time this year my 'El Bumpo' has a fruitlet, it is about the size of my thumb now. I hope it holds, and it better taste AMAZING or I am digging it up and replacing with my Geffner atemoya that sets fruit just fine on its own.
Hey my comment showed up, and humans are here!
