@ernest this was an extraordinary situation with several crisis points on a platform in early development (as far as mass usage is concerned) and you were able to keep a cool head, keep things going and also keep people informed of the situations as they were developing. I am happy to read that you have help now (and it looks like really great expert help) and that you can take a break/retirement from admin and enjoy it with the rest of us. Bravo!
Sometimes I just can't tell and other times I think "well, which way does it want to be?" Also, I'm not actually sure which kind of animal this is supposed to be a picture of, maybe some sort of pig or boar?
Among the roughly 370,000 known species of flora sprouting on Earth's surface, a taste for blood is rare. But only one plant is known to be carnivorous on a part-time basis.
A group of botanists from Ecuador, Germany, and the United States have identified two new distinct species of carnivorous plants notable for their striking appearance. These species are a part of the butterworts family (known scientifically as the genus Pinguicula), a group of insectivorous flowerin
I think it will be time for a repotting to a larger container sometime soon they are getting very crowded, but I'm hesitant as they won't have their first dormancy until the soonest this coming winter.
Thank you :) Eventually yes, but not this time. And that's if they survive. But I think I can still keep them together in a shared (but larger) pot for the next year or so, just for some more space between them.
First exposure would probably be identica in 2010. For people getting started, these days I'd suggest less joining a specific platform and more by interest. Books -> bookwyrm , Video -> a Peertube instance, etc.
Don't dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas....
That was pretty good! And I like how at times they looked liked they were about to start laughing as Prince was stealing the show on a stage with already some very very famous musicians (but not that he could help it, I think that's just what usually happened whenever Prince appeared, well- anywhere).
The more I'm using #kbin the more I like it. There is a lot going on here (much more than pictured, but this should give a basic idea of using it for reading and subscribing to things). There is a learning curve (like the rest of the Fediverse) but it becomes easier once you get the hang of it. Descriptions of the screenshots are in the image captions. I have a separate account there as a "soft" partition and (edit- changed) an important thing to know is that upvotes translate into feed boosts.
@chillicampari if there is anything I want to bring back into my "main" social feed- I have mutual follows between the accounts, so I can just (re)boost selected items. This reply is composed from the kbin interface.

what was your first exposure to the fediverse?
Mine was either mastodon or matrix. I got into both at the same time. What are some other fediverse sites for beginners?
where are you from?
