Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.
It’s been common for a lot longer than that in the UK, we’re very lazy :D
Yeah I’m trying to remember how we used to do it (the last time I went through a normal checkout with a full shop was probably 10 years ago) and this seems right.
Gotta have the heavy stuff handy so you can put it straight into the bottom of the bags. Anything else is wasting time!
You’ve had some well-meaning but ultimately not quite accurate answers in this thread so just to clarify:
You can follow, post to and interact with Lemmy communities from Mastodon, because they’re treated the same way as a “group” on Mastodon in general.
You can NOT follow and interact with Mastodon users from Lemmy, because Mastodon accounts are individual “users” and Lemmy doesn’t have the concept of following and interacting with users, only with communities. If Lemmy ever does add a feature to let us follow other users, then in theory following Mastodon users will also become possible.
Alas, not really! I have a cheap shuttle and am still trying to get the hang of “the flip” but I’ll get it eventually. I did manage a sort of wonky snowflake but that’s about it so far. Trouble is, as you know, all the other hobbies getting in the way 😄
Currently working on cross stitching a dragon from the Discworld books, knitting some crazy speckly socks and a shawl that is way behind where it needs to be to be finished on time, and planning various sewing projects. RIP my free time.
Just left another comment with links to some of the more active craft communities on here, we’d love to see what you’re working on if you ever want to share!
We do a lot of hanging out and gossiping on fedi tbf. Mastodon is really big on crafts, and on Lemmy we have places like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] etc for specific crafts.
For the crafts a bit too niche to have their own active community, [email protected] loves to see completed projects!
Gonna tag @[email protected] and @[email protected] too because I feel like a lot of folks don’t realise how much craft stuff we have on here!
I’ve taught a few people to crochet and all it really takes is patience, and and accepting that you’re going to feel like you’ve somehow got both too many and also not enough hands for the first little while. There’s no shortage of tutorials online so it’s just a question of finding a beginner one that clicks with you and going from there.
And if you get stuck, need to ask newbie questions, or just want to show off the first few wonky rows of stitches you make to people who will understand what an achievement it is, [email protected] is the community for you!
I immediately thought of tatting just because it’s kind of interesting that you can do it two such different ways with such different tools, and also because using a shuttle looks like actual witchcraft.
That’s my main concern. Seeing content from other platforms in my Mastodon feed is pretty great right now (Lemmy, PeerTube etc). But hashtag feeds could quickly get overrun by something like this if it works the same way.
That said, making this its own thing instead of building a “reels” for Pixelfed suggests the dev already knows separation will be important, so 🤞
I can find no flaw in your reasoning here.
That’s kind of ok actually, at least you’re not pretending it’s real tea.
(also it’s delicious, so you’ve got that going for you)
Probably more just that this was the 90s
I’ve never stopped believing in you, Pluto ❤️
Went here on an unexpected holiday diversion over summer. It’s genuinely the most beautiful place I have ever seen in real life. Weak mojitos, though.
(also technically not a fjord)
I’m not keen on it, prefer to find things organically so I usually ignore or (if possible) hide recommendations. But I don’t understand getting mad about it and judging people who find it useful. People gonna people, I suppose.
Well, the one person I know who uses it says it’s because he likes having a recommendation algorithm.
People have different priorities and like different things 🤷♀️
My people!
Cool! Good luck sticking with it! Discipline is hard but it’s also much more reliable than waiting on motivation. The trick is just to apply it consistently, which is where I usually fall down 😅
Copy-pasting my usual response to these threads:
I’m legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are [email protected] and [email protected] but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.
Then there’s also [email protected] which has been a bit quiet lately so if you’ve made something, go show it off!
I’m sure anyone reading this in the UK is already aware of MSE but just in case: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/#easyaccess
A quick glance suggests most of those really high ones are time-limited bonus offers, but other places are doing quite high interest in general e.g. Marcus is paying 4.75%.
