  • One of the great things about Lemmy is that you can control your user experience. No algorithms, no “suggestions” being forced on you, no ads, no data mining, no spez/Musk/Zuck. So curate my Lemmy space heavily and enjoy the peace and quiet and slow pace. R*ddit was my only social media for years so Lemmy is similar enough to that to be familiar and useful, but different enough to be worth using.

    Ah, sorry if I seemed snappy. I replied when all of my Lemmy apps were glitching and I was getting cranky.

    In my experience, pigeons will ravage just about anything. They’re like the goats of the bird world.

    I provide a variety of foods, and spread them out so different birds can eat different things.








  • A lot of improvements, but some weird problems. Jerboa finally allowed me to log in but not much else. Connect is working better, but won’t allow me to reply to one particular post (“incorrect language” or something). The browser version and wefwef are slow and glitchy - my comment about birds ended up in a conversation about Lemmy apps. I don’t know anything about tech stuff but I get the impression that people are working very hard to fix all the issues. And the spezidus wouldn’t be making things easy. Looking forward to a bigger better Lemmy!








  • At the moment I’m only doing Duolingo because I don’t have time, money or energy for anything more in-depth. Duolingo doesn’t have the languages I’d really really like to learn, so I make do with selections from their best constructed courses.

    I’ve been studying Italian for 3 months. I chose Italian because before that I was learning Esperanto. But the Duolingo Esperanto course became worse for some reason, and I figured Esperanto would help me to recognise a lot of Italian. I was right!

    I started Portuguese a few days ago. Always wanted to try Portuguese, but the weird pronunciations discouraged me. Eventually I just jumped in and had a go. My ear is starting to adjust to it.

    And when I’m bored with those 2, I revise my German. Mainly because I like the goofy voices on the German course.

    I squeeze in lessons during downtime at work, and my colleagues don’t seem to like it. Oh well. They shouldn’t be so tedious to talk to!
