Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked
Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it's blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any...

Would a venus fly trap help deal with house gnats?
I’ve got several small houseplants in my home office, and I really like having them around. I’m still pretty new to taking care of them altogether, though, and we’ve gotten dozens of tiny house gnats now. I’ve put up sticky traps and tried to use some pest control in the potted soil. But would a small venus fly trap be...
My small basement workshop. Besides maybe a planar, what other tools do I need? (lemmy.world)
I’m just getting started with woodworking, so I don’t have a lot, but I’ve managed to make a few projects with what I currently have. If I had a planar, it would open the door to a lot more stuff that I could make, I think.

Fixing my drain required breaking laws, pissing off IRC users, breaking tools…
It was taking around 24 hours to drain just ~1—3 liters of water in my kitchen sink. Probably comparable to IV drip speeds. After a huge effort and expense, I finally fixed it without demolishing the kitchen – which would have been my next and final move¹. Sequence of events:...
Increasing taxes to solve inequality is based on fundamentally wrong assumptions.
Why on earth would taking wealth from everyone (and it turns into everyone – There are non-executive wage earners working mundane jobs who pay 50% taxes on their last bit of income and basically pay that on any overtime they work) and concentrating it in the hands of a few insanely powerful government workers ever result in...
where do the instances actually reside?
If I were to create a new instance of lemmy do I set up my own server in my house, or am I just creating an instance on one of the lemmy servers?
