Good chilly morning, all....

One thing I really don't like so far about Lemmy in general and this instance in particular...

It's eating up a lot of my time.... ;)

Spitfire flying down the country to celebrate 100 years (resources.stuff.co.nz)

It'll be flying in a squadron for some of the route. Here is it's route and timings:...

'Help, help': Woman seriously injured in Christchurch dog attack (www.stuff.co.nz)

If you recently moved to Lemmy from Reddit, have you dipped your toes in any other Fedi services?

I had heard about Mastodon and was aware of the concept of federated platforms.

Hi all, as with most of you, I'm an immigrant from Reddit. I never used to go on to the NZ or regional subreddits because frankly, I felt very unwelcome and those places were extremely negative....

Jan 2023: New app allows easy identification of all NZ plants, animals and fungi (www.waikato.ac.nz)
