Music: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it’s basic but it does what I need from it.

Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that’s gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don’t listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.

You should post here: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

This is not a technical support community.

(but also i’ve had the same issue since the last lemmy update, i suppose a bug made its way in there.)

Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can’t properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.

My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.

The men around them.

Communities don’t need to have a single specific language and being able to share in our own language in a general community, especially outside of English, would be amazing. I know I’ve posted some content to book-related communities in French and was glad not to post to an empty French community, and I got some interaction on this.

Agree with Flaky that we really need a default language choice to not have to set it up every time, though.

Well the good news if that with the literal hundred plums you have, you can afford to “waste” plums until you figure out how to make proper jam! :)

That’s an excellent question and I’m glad you raised it. I need to care more about accessibility and learn more about security in general :)

Honeypots - ask a very easy question, but make it hidden on the website so that human users won’t see it and bots will answer it.

They shouldn’t. They should have a blog and share the link here and on Mastodon. Social media is not the right place for long-form content.

As many potential rooms as possible in as many locations as possible, and no way to distinguish the right one. Of course, rotate it regularly.

Here are some feeds in English that I like:

My subscriptions elsewhere (consolidation)

• https://beehaw.org/feeds/local.xml?sort=Active - the RSS feed for my Lemmy subscriptions (replace the instance with yours if necessary)
• Loads of RSS feeds for Mastodon hashtags that I enjoy
• Archive of our own feeds for certain fandoms
• RSS feeds for each Nebula channel I follow
• Inoreader allows me to sync YouTube subscriptions, so I do that too
• A bunch of Medium blogs

Blogs I recommend

• Ask a Manager is a great column advice
• Autostraddle, amazing lesbian & trans magazine
• Ben Werdmuller, a tech guy who still makes sense to non-tech me
• Blogroll.org to find out about cool indie blogs
• Chris Coyier talks about libre software in a not-too-scary-and-techy way
• CrimethInc and their Peertube channel for regular anarchy talk
• Darnell talks about the Fediverse
• Peertube news for Peertube news
• The trans advice column, for trans people & allies
• Walled culture on open access to culture and anti-copyright
• When/If, one of the few leftist survivalist blogs out there

This question has been asked several times a day for the past week and I’d recommend using the search feature for the many answers that have already been posted.

The Wire

Being LGBTQ+, or not white, or not a man, or disabled.

I work in the capital of my country because there are more jobs there, but I don’t like big cities. I bought an apartment in my hometown, which is where I want to spend the rest of my life. I was told at the time of buying that I would be able to work fully remotely starting June, but now they say February and I’m moving next week, so either I’ll find a new job or they’ll make it work.

A fan with a damp (cold) cloth on it.

I bought an apartment 600kms away from my job two months ago.

I’ll report back on how it turned out when I move there and find out whether they decide to fire me.

That’s a good point, thanks for adding some nuance :)

Well:

• I’m annoyed at calling people who dislike an app and choose another website “refugees”
• I’m happy that we’re going to have more activity
• I hope more instances will be built and maintained, because I don’t think the large number of new members can be moderated effectively if they keep flocking to the same handful of instances
• When in doubt, I hope moderators will be too strict rather than not enough, especially in the beginning to make sure the behavioural expectations are very clear
