As someone who dislikes traditional low flow heads that tend to icepick you with little streams, I highly recommend high sierra showerheads. I don’t know how they pull it off, but it absolutely blasts you with water while still being low flow. Like I prefer it to any other shower head I’ve tried, low flow or not.
They make one with an adjustable valve that let’s you dial in the perfect amount of flow too.
Didn’t centos users switch to Rocky or Alma?
Reading books are known to increase empathy, as the very act itself forces you to see the world from someone else’s perspective, putting yourself in someone else’s shoes every time you open a new book.
Lemmy-Federate is a project that automatically subscribes a single bot account from participating instances to essentially pre-seed a community across those instances. The net effect of doing that is posts made to that community will show up on those instances /all feed, and the community itself will show up if users on those instances search it (instead of having to use the lemmyverse.net community search to discover it exists, and then manually federate the community to their instance by searching the community URL in their local instance’s search bar).
Once a real user from a participating instance subscribes to the community, the bot account will unsubscribe.
It makes it much, much easier to get a new community rolling, as otherwise it could take quite some time for people across instances to discover it and be federated naturally (which is even more of an issue on smaller instances, where there may not be a large/active local community to kick things off).
If by old you mean mlmym, we do host it and offer it in our sidebar for those who prefer it: https://old.slrpnk.net/
Don’t sell yourselves short, your instance has a lot going for it due to your efforts!
All that takes time and effort to maintain, and a surprising amount of smaller instances can lack that. So cheers for all that you do, appreciate it man :)
I’d recommend taking a look at this online anonymity guide we put together for our monthly meta post over at slrpnk.net.
I created [email protected] a few days ago. It started with 55 default sub’s from Lemmy-federate bots, but now already has 200 subs, and users participating with their own art!
Quite pleased with the community response, and grateful to retrolemmy.com for hosting it. They were the perfect instance for that community, and seem to run a tight ship :)
I hadn’t heard of Jami, but that looks excellent, cheers for sharing!
Unfortunately it does not currently support audio sharing, but I’d recommend keeping an eye on Bananas Screen Sharing, as it may support it soon, from what I’ve seen in their Discord discussions.
There isn’t for me. Does it go away if you click the CC button at the bottom right?

If someone comes across an active well moderated community filled with on-topic content of an objectively high quality where everyone seems to be having fun, and that someone downvotes everything in that community every day, how is that beneficial? Why don’t they post content they like? If they hate everything, why don’t they block the community? Why are they spending time and effort to downvote so much stuff every day when it would be easier, and seemingly better for their mental health, to either block and move on, or contribute the flavor of content they want to see?
No one is getting banned for downvoting content here and there, but if they’re putting effort in ensuring everything in a community is downvoted, they’d just be spreading illwill for no good reason :(
A good mod will help their community grow and flourish and have a good vibe. A mass downvoter who contributes nothing else is harmful to those things, and it makes sense a mod would want to defend their community against that.
Edit: kind’ve ironic that you simply downvoted both me and Blaze 😅
I agree that reaching out to a user like that and having them stop would be the best outcome. Though In the context of the thread, I don’t think a mod who didn’t reach out before banning would be a PTB (not that you’re suggesting that, just elaborating my thoughts).
Ah. I don’t think I’ve encountered that type of user yet. For the users I described in my comment, I give them a full instance ban. But In the case you describe, I think it’d be appropriate for a mod of the targeted community to ban them, but otherwise leave them be.
The biggest advantage of private email is that it stops the email provider itself from data mining some of your most sensitive info, as Gmail and other free emails most certainly do. Basically it’s protection from surveillance capitalism, but you rightfully can’t consider it a secure way to send messages or info to other, non-encrypted users.
Posteo is only 12€ a year, so a bit cheaper. Doesn’t support custom domains though.
It’s possible to hide posts without downvoting as well.
I’ll grant you that language is potentially a dogwhistle, but on their blog, they post about Earth day and Sustainability, which is currently vilified by MAGA.
If I had to guess, their marketing team is trying to play both sides.
Without more clear evidence of their politics, I’ll probably continue to recommend them if they get people to stick with saving water, as ultimately that’s the opposite of what Trump’s policies are trying to do.
