FYI, I believe you can insert individual photos into the BODY section. Just click the 'image' icon (3rd from left on Jerboa) and choose your photos. It will insert them into the main body of your post.

Also, I wanna say east coast US for these. Probably waaayyyy off. Nice photos, btw!

So, I'm still seeing a 'pending' status for mine. I signed up on both beehaw and lemmy.world, and I was really hoping to be able to help grow both, but I can't create a community on beehaw, so I'm just sitting here waiting to be approved(?) on lemmy.world to be able to do that. I think. I'm not sure I've got much of this as figured out as everyone else.

I would have absolutely said that around my core group of friends. I'm here for real comments too! Laughing releases endorphins or something, right?

So cool! I always enjoy seeing birds from other parts of the world than I frequent.

If I may add, politely, that you should be careful not to lean too heavily on the sound ID of merlin for accuracy. It's good, but not great by any means.

We need a Birding community here!!

Man, do I miss a good forum.

I still have an account on a really great college football board that has taught me a TON about the most random things. All while being generally awesome people. Hoping at least some of this new (to many of us n00bs) world stays this way.

I would kill to just have some help/pointers figuring out how to navigate this... Fediverse?

I've made a couple posts, on one, maybe two, um, Instances? In the communities there?

I don't know. All this change is coming at like, the WORST time in my personal/professional life and learning a whole new world is just... Daunting. (waahhhhhh 😭)

Hey, kudos for even attempting a tri-tip! Even a good one is pretty great!

And yep, I write down notes on every cook I can remember to do it for, and my Inkbird App/thermometer does a lot of that for me now. Thing is a godsend.

I've wrapped before, using the "Texas Crutch" at the ~165° stall, but no wrap this time, I just spritzed with apple cider vinegar every 30mins after the bark formed well enough, and waited her out 'naked' until 2am haha.

Also, yes, I used this for my avatar image. It's really just a personal favorite!

I guess tonight I learn how to make a smoker instance(?)!

Just did a 10lb Boston butt for a cabin trip this past weekend. May have a few photos...

Also, sorry, but zero idea on beef jerky that ships. Are you meaning like a brand of some that can be purchased online? I'll do some research! Orrrrrr... Once I figure it out, you can post that question in the smoker Instance!

Ohhh! So, if I'm understanding correctly, I can share that link to another... Instance? And it cuts me, the middleman, out of the link chain, kind of?

This comment is my first contribution to the platform. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing yet, but I'll figure it out.

My worry is that I only started a year or so ago on that other platform, and most of my contributions are comments and some photos when I can get my garbage podunk internet to let me upload the latest smoked meat or garden haul. I don't think I'm a "laying the groundwork" type of user, honestly. If there are any guides or walkthrough on navigating instances and whatnot, I'm all eyes.

I already reeeeeally miss a couple wonderful communities. But I want the best versions of them here, if at all. I'd love to help expand this place.

I guess there could be worse first comments for an account.

ETA: spelling is hard.
