A ton of countries have a decently active Lemmy instance, including the English-speaking ones (UK, AUS, NZ, ZA).
The closest to a US one that I know of is midwest.social, which looks pretty lively from what I can tell.
Anyway, so lemmy.world is becoming quite populated with all kinds of US-specific stuff, like communities for sports teams, sometimes with generic names that could be used for other things ( !bears@lemmy.world ), states/cities like !texas@lemmy.world or even !politics@lemmy.world (while !uspolitics@lemmy.world also exists), with other instances also having duplicate comms.
I’m expecting Lemmy to have, at some point, and hopefully soon, an option to block entire instances so that we don’t have to see posts especially that are country-specific. But I’ll need to block all the baseball teams one by one if I want to browse all and try to find new things.
And I’m sure it would also be more convenient to have it all under one roof, just like everything about Germany is under feddit.de, and people from elsewhere can still visit if they like.
So, please someone make one? Or navigate people to the right one? Thank yooou
Yeah, it’s especially annoying when you live in a different English speaking country. I don’t give a shit about your pounds in the chicken recipe.
That’s right! Put dollars in the chicken recipe!
Anyway that’s my two cents.
Let’s say 2/100 of your country’s primary monetary unit. No reason to be US centric.
I dunno, even conceptualising specifically as 2/100ths is culture-specific. How about my penny’s-worth?
Rather, we should say, that is my arbitrary-pun-linked-culturally-non-dominating-metaphorically-characterised-cognitive-contribution. Or something like that but in the universal language of interpretative dance instead of specific written English.
Pounds mass or pounds force? 😅
Do you plan on cooking in space?
Freedom! Pounds of Freedom!
I added 3 tbs lead but it tastes kinda funny
And cups, and spoons…
Yeah, wtf is a cup of butter?
So refreshing on a cold day…
Also, if my chicken receipe is causing you to give shits, there’s something wrong with it.
