UK answer: city 100% no question.

Being able to actually get places and do things and have people to do those things with, I don’t even know how a small town could ever compare. Grew up in one, currently living in another one, both crap.

Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.

[email protected] is for exactly this!

Rock and stone, my friend ⛏

Would you like to…share this tutorial with us? Haha :D

Nice! This is the sort of thing that, to be honest, is still very much over my head. Which just makes me appreciate it more in others 😅

Nice, will give it a look! A little site has been on the todo list for ages but you know how that goes…

Shoutout to [email protected] for saving us when Liftoff went under.

That’s true, cheers, I’ve even used it before in an emergency and then totally forgot 🤦‍♀️

Lol, excellent about page 😄

I really should get on and do this too. Any tips on cheap hosting options these days? I’m well out of the loop on web stuff atm.

Crispy Hawaiian tofu with egg-fried rice. Normally eat it with regular rice but this is a special day and husband wanted to treat me since I’ve not been at all well these last few weeks. Bloody love egg-fried rice.

Now absolutely stuffed and feel like I never want to eat again, although he’s already prepping our two-person Christmas dinner for tomorrow so I won’t tell him that!

You’re a monster but honestly I respect it.

Pretty sure most people just use their Mastodon app. I’ve heard decent things about Fedilab as well, haven’t tried that one myself but I hear it has PeerTube support.

The PT devs have just announced they’ll be working on a proper app in 2024 so 🤞

All kinds of things really although mostly they’re on my list to learn so I’ll have them one day. Tatting might be my main one for 2024.

(Edit: Forgot the “why”. Mostly because it’s come up twice lately here on Lemmy and I feel left out while other people are making pretty lace)

I do wish I could learn to draw a bit better, to play the piano, and to speak multiple languages. But realistically I don’t have that kind of time so have to go with things that are quicker to pick up!

I have a really out of the loop question that will probably make me sound like a troll, but really I’m just old and out of the loop:

What exactly are the unique features of Tumblr? as far as I recall it was just a blogging site with support for specific post formats, right? Did it get more complicated than that?

Most recent post there was 2 hours ago. You might have it blocked or something.

To add to Otter’s reply, one of the best ways to keep growing after the initial announcement is simply just to make sure you mention and properly link it whenever it’s relevant to the conversation.

a) Lets people know the community exists and b) gives them a way to go straight there without having to faff about.

…I can’t believe you’ve done this. Holy crap, thank you!

Honestly don’t even know what to say to this. I guess I better get designing a Steam page!

On one hand this makes me sad for you, because snow is excellent. But on the other that does mean you live somewhere nice and warm, and as I sit here rolled up in my electric blanket it doesn’t sound so bad.

I hope you get to not only see snow, but experience the satisfying cronch of frolicking in an unspoiled patch :D
