Here to try and be social. Very strange as I'm not in real life. A bloke getting on in age, who has been round the block. Mentally, I may be ill, but I'm not as sick as those in charge of us. Let's laugh, or at least make fun of the idiots. Mostly here for fun, whatever that means?

Really hard, but possibly paprika or maybe garlic?

Butternut squash and spinach are also popular.

Any cheese. Stilton, feta or Stinky Bishop.

I'm enjoying a little non-fiction at present. The Secret Life of Fungi: Discoveries from a Hidden World by Aliya Whiteley. Last year I started hiking, and as a resulted started falling in love with mosses, lichen, and fungi. Once I get interested in something, I desire all the knowledge. Possibly an ADHD thing. The book is a wonder, such a relaxed style of writing. Not academic and with no flow, like some non-fiction books can be. The knowledge just flows from every sentence, and it has made me walk further and get out much more. It really has given be a boost. The book is simply so engaging. I have caught my partner reading it, and devouring it. She is not even interested in fungi at all.

It depends on the laws in your country and to what extent you follow them. If you're ten or twenty metres behind, and it's only for a few minutes, you're possibly safe. But if you're hiding under their bed, then you have issues and need to seek attention now, possibly medical.*

I wish I had some developer knowledge, more of an artist, and that's of no use here. At least people are aware of the issue. With no API for Kbin as yet, the apps will be further away I guess? I can wait, still very early days here.

My account was 15 years old, I think? Whilst I am at home here. I do find out of habit open Reddit up on Desktop or Mobile. That's only been four or five times since the start of June.

I adore writing by hand. The numerous notebooks, pens, and ink will back me up. I even have old school dip pens. I even draw with pen and ink. I am writing anything down, possibly to combat my possible ADHD. If I'm out, then notes are taken on my phone. At home, it's old-fashioned pen and paper. It could be just a word or two, maybe a plan on what to do tomorrow, or some four-page rant.

I think part of my enjoyment for writing was calligraphy classes at school. This may well sound strange to many. But school band all types of pen, apart from calligraphy fountain pens, in either blue or black ink. We would have short classes on correct usage. I even won national competitions. This is something that stuck with me.

When I started job hunting (This will give an indication to my age), my first CVs were written in calligraphy. It was slow, painful, but my success rate was amazing. Maybe because these stood out against a type written CV?

Also, when dating. Many of my girlfriends spent time overseas in their home countries. For many reasons, but this allowed time to write letters. Email was in its infancy. The amount of time my girlfriends friends were envious of these intricate handwritten letters were many.

Writing, by hand, triggers parts of my head that typing simply doesn't. It's hard to explain.

Astral Projection

Androcell

I have numerous things to keep me entertained inside. Gaming, reading, cooking, music, being creative which at present is drawing using dip pen and ink. Sometimes I will find myself writing, it could be poetry or some mindless rant. Like you, I enjoy a hike, and on days with bad weather I often find myself plotting my next few trips using one of the many map tracking websites available.

My plan for tomorrow, is building hedgehog houses. I will be doing this inside, but they will be going outside for any hedgehog visitors we get.

@luna I have to agree, it's like jumping from the frying pan and into the fire. I would avoid Discord.

This is turning into such a shit show. I can see some group deciding to do some form of attack on Reddit, just for shits and giggles.

When the api stops being freely accessed, loads of bots will stop. The only ones using Reddit will be ones they have created, and that will be interesting to see what rubbish they spout. I bet we will see one bot going on the rampage saying 'Spaz is wonderful'.

It will be interesting to see how they deal with GDPR for us EU users.

Your hometown? It's vanished? That more a job for the police. Oh, you mean the magazine?

I wish my hometown would vanish.

So what? We all have our options, some will opt to stay on Reddit. It's up to them. We can only make decisions for ourselves. But tribalism and name-calling seems a bit rubbish. Keep the drama back on Reddit.

I'm on a Pixel 6 Pro, and loving it. Had it from day 1, no issues like many have had.

TimTams would be improved if the chocolate wasn't so tasteless. It's not a biscuit, but your Lamingtons deserve an award.

Shortbread is an odd one. I think the country is flooded with too much poor quality shortbread. For something that has so few ingredients, it's surprising how these companies screw them up. But great shortbread is heavenly, and add lemon into the mixture, oh yes!

Such a bad idea. But Twitter is leaking money, and they are refusing to pay their Google Cloud Bills. This slow death of Twitter is getting boring, can it just hurry up and die?

Not sure if it's niche, but more UK based communities are needed. Not sure the place is big enough for city by city or even county. But UK politics, casual, sport, etc...

Not sure when Lemmy first entered my social media walkabout, but it was quite some time ago now. I have been searching for a place to replace Reddit for years. It has been a slow search. That search has now speeded up since the latest changes. At present, I am using Kbin to gain access to the Fediverse. It feels the most user-friendly. Not that I have been here long, minutes. But I have lurked for some time.

I am not looking for a direct Reddit replacement. I think many are, so lack of users. Different rules, jargon, etc.... Do not bother me.
