How do you guys celebrate personal wins while being sensitive to those in your circles who might struggle with that area?
For example, posting your ab gains when friends struggle with weight loss, posting about children when friends struggle with fertility, posting about your WFH gig when friends are working 70 hour weeks.
Yup, you are not an influencer to your friends. Friends see you through thick and thin, they'll hear the good and the bad, which is why celebrating the good is okay.
Nobody wants the friend who only talks about themselves and how awesome it is being them.
and make sure to routinely ask them how they're doing, make sure you're caring for them too.
@ReallyKinda I wrote a longer reply that I lost with the message "language not allowed" but I don't know why.
Basically in my mastodon instance we use content warnings for everything, as a sort of email header with a collapsed post underneath. So even "food", " plants", just as a filter that allows people to skip things as needed. It has the added benefit of letting me post "exercise gains" and anyone can skip uncollapsing if they want to, for whatever reason. Then those who want to engage with the post can do so, more deliberately.
So, I was experimenting a bit with inter connectivity from different ActivityPub softwares. And turns out that emoji-reaction on calckey (a microblog software that is NOT mastodon) is converted to an upvote.
So I can literally angry upvote posts on lemmy! That’s pretty cool.
Edit: on another note, posts with multiple pictures don’t federate very well with lemmy. Edit does work though
