At first I thought I was gonna be eaten by a grue.
I will join you in the celebration of no roaches.
I was unable to see my own posts until I checked "show read posts". I take it you're on desktop? Try clearing your cache; since incognito shows the posts, that suggests either a caching issue or a plugin/extension conflict, and the former is more likely.
I try to reserve downvotes for things that I think have negative value. If I simply don't like something, I ignore it and move on; just because I don't like it doesn't mean that it lacks value for others. If I don't understand something, and it's important enough for me to act on, I'd rather have a discussion and learn.
I'll downvote posts that don't fit the purpose of a community, or which were clearly posted to start an arguement. I'll downvote comments that are insulting, inflammatory, or otherwise malicious.
There was no need to air out my personal business like this.
Thanks for reminding me to stop biting my cuticles. My nails would look so much better if I weren't chowing down on them all the time.
Is the Rubik's cube a normal item for you to be carrying, or is it a recent thing? How many times have you solved it?
This is extremely well put-together. Much more useable than browse.feddit.de. Thank you for this! It should definitely be included in any guides for getting started with Lemmy.
I thought it was just my social anxiety flaring up when I had new notifications. I never really thought about the fact that I was also avoiding negative replies. It'll be interesting to see how this goes here.
I like the community. I'm hoping that Lemmy doesn't turn into the cesspool that parts of Reddit became. I do have to refresh the page to see my posts and comments, but I imagine that there are some functional difficulties with scaling the platform to accommodate all of the people coming from Reddit.
As someone who always felt very overshadowed on Reddit, I'm looking forward to contributing more here.
From what I'm seeing, Lemmy and the Fediverse are going to fill my social needs quite nicely, so I'm not sure if I'll ever make it back to Reddit.
I have the Unihertz Jelly 2, and I love it. It fits in my front pocket (when I have pockets, bc women aren't allowed pockets). It's easier to forget it's there, which makes me less likely to pull it out constantly.
